A shut-off assembly has a tubular member supported thereby for connection to a fixed conduit of a pump pedestal so that the tubular member may move with respect to the shut-off valve assembly both axially and pivotally relative to its axis.
A coffee-making and dispensing machine wherein coffee discharges from a brewing funnel into a reservoir from which increments of coffee are withdrawn through a dispensing spout into consumers' cups. The brewing funnel and reservoir are insertable and removable through the front access side of the machine into a reservoir compartment. The dispensing spout is located at the lower portion of the front access side and receives coffee from the reservoir through a conduit. A sight glass is also connected by a conduit providing communication with the reservoir. A quick connect-disconnect fluid-tight connection is provided between the reservoir and the inlet to the conduits. Ths connection is provided in part by a tubular male projection on the bottom of the reservoir and in part by a stationary female receptacle which includes a secured-in-place diaphragm in the form of a sheet of resilient rubber-like material of substantial thickness having a central opening sized to receive the male projection with a fluid-tight interference fit.
An entirely mechanical air bag device for cars wherein a frangible lid seals a container having gas under pressure therein. The frangible lid is supported by a pressing lid in contact with a link mechanism. During a crash, an impact detecting assembly releases the link mechanism which in turn releases the pressing lid which permits the frangible lid to be fractured by the high pressure gas to inflate the bag.
A compressor assembly includes a shell which defines a discharge chamber. A discharge valve assembly is attached to the shell in communication with the discharge chamber. The discharge valve assembly includes a stamped or coined valve seat, a drawn tubular element and a stamped valve member. The stamping, drawing and coining operations used to manufacture the discharge valve assembly significantly reduce the manufacturing costs for the discharge valve assembly.
