Title: Innovations by Lyle R Johnson

Introduction

Lyle R Johnson is a notable inventor based in Minneapolis, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of fluid interconnection technology. With a total of 3 patents to his name, Johnson's work has had a considerable impact on the industry.

Latest Patents

One of Johnson's latest patents is the "Rigid mount coupler with flow check stop." This invention features a rigid mount, breakaway, quick coupler designed for fluid interconnection. It includes a spring-activated mechanical stop that prevents flow-checking. The flow check stop is supported in a cross bore within a movable inner body member of the coupler. It cooperates with a ramp surface to position itself in aligned or laterally displaced positions from the axially movable, flow-checking valve pin, thereby preventing or allowing valve pin movement.

Another significant patent is the "Rigid mount coupler." This invention ensures that all movement required for connecting and disconnecting the nipple occurs within the coupler housing. A body member that receives the valved nipple slides within the housing to actuate a locking mechanism that retains the nipple. The body member supports the coupler valve in a spring-loaded retainer, allowing the coupler and nipple valves to engage and balance in open positions. A second spring-loaded device supports the coupler valve at the open position, resisting further opening movement to prevent flow checking at the nipple.
