Appl. No.:

11/268319

Inventors:

Alberto C. Torres - Hemet CA, US

Assignee:

Lavelle Industries, Inc. - Burlington WI

International Classification:

E03D 1/35

US Classification:

4392, 4390, 4393

Abstract:

An offset outlet flush valve has a valve body, the valve body having an inlet comprising an inlet aperture, an overflow tube socket comprising an overflow tube aperture, and an outlet comprising an outlet aperture. The outlet aperture of the valve body, and the wall that defines it, intersects a portion of the inlet aperture and a portion of the overflow tube aperture and the walls that define them. In this way, a water flow continuum is created between the inlet aperture and the outlet aperture and between the overflow tube aperture and the outlet aperture. A number of alternative embodiments of an overflow tube socket and overflow tube are also provided depending upon OEM or after-market application of the offset outlet flush valve.

Filed:

Nov 23, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/980051

Inventors:

Alberto J. Torres - Miramar FL

International Classification:

A63F 300
G09B 130

US Classification:

273299

Abstract:

A game for building words and form concepts form the selection and arrangement of symbols within a given topic. A card with longitudinal slots is adapted to receive one topic chip per slot and one or more symbols that form a word related to each one of those topics. The symbols chips are pre-organized through the use of unique relief patters that are accepted in position with complementary relief patterns in a carrier for these symbol chips. As the players build their words they are called to defend them as being relevant to the topic categories where they were built.

US Patent:

61925268, Feb 27, 2001

Filed:

Oct 5, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/412273

Inventors:

Alberto C. Torres - Hemet CA

Assignee:

Lavelle Industries, Inc. - Burlington WI

International Classification:

E03D 134

US Classification:

4378

Abstract:

A top mounted flush valve is provided for installation in a blind drain hole in the bottom wall of a toilet tank of a conventional one-piece gravity operated toilet. The flush valve includes a generally cylindrical valve body sized for insertion through the drain hole from the upperside of the bottom wall of the tank. A seal member on an underside of the valve body provides a watertight seal between the valve body and an upperside of the bottom wall of the tank. A generally cylindrical drive collar is rotatable within a central aperture of the valve body. A generally cylindrical spring nut has a threaded portion engaged with a threaded portion of the drive collar so that the drive collar can be screwed to generate relative movement between the drive collar and the spring nut along a longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall of the tank. The spring nut has a plurality of resilient fingers that can deflect inwardly to pass partially through the drain hole in the bottom wall of the tank during insertion. The fingers spring outwardly at a predetermined location of the spring nut relative to the bottom wall of the tank in order to provide a locking engagement between the spring nut and the bottom wall of the tank.
