This invention provides a camera support comprising an arm; a camera mount connected to the arm; a mount configured for attachment to a first supportive base ('first base mount'), wherein the arm is pivotally connected to the first base mount; a mount configured for attachment to a second supportive base ('second base mount'); and an arm coupler configured for releasably connecting the arm from the second base mount. Optionally, the first and second base mounts comprise straps, e.g. for mounting to a user's limb such as a forearm. Exemplary embodiments allow the arm to swing smoothly in a downward motion directly into the palm of the user's hand.

Camera support

In a pipeline system having a plurality of pipe segments joining a fluid supply tank to a fluid dispenser, the invention includes a pipe coupling assembly for use on at least one terminal end of a fluid transfer pipe, where the transfer pipe has an inner tubular member for transferring fluid and an outer tubular member and an interstitial space there between. The coupling assembly comprises a transition coupling for attachment to the pipe segment to provide a first path for the fluid in the inner tubular member and a second path for the interstitial space. The coupling assembly further comprises a transition tube assembly for attachment to the transition coupling to provide separate paths for the transfer fluid and the interstitial space, where the interstitial space provides a means for performing leak detection or fitting integrity tests during application of either a vacuum condition or pressurized gas input via such selective access.

Piping system with transition coupling

The fuel transfer pump is a combination suction and pressure pump in a manifold above the fuel storage tank. The fuel transfer pump is contained within a manifold. The pump is liquid cooled (more specifically, fuel cooled) and is located in a manifold above the fuel storage tank and not submerged inside the tank. The fuel transfer pump draws (using suction) the fuel up from the bottom of the tank though the pipe column into the manifold and then under pressure pumps it to one or more fueling dispensers.

Fuel transfer pump

A type of under-dispenser containment system that is easier to install, inspect and repair primary and secondary piping connections located underneath an above ground dispensing unit. This shallow type containment chamber has angled sidewalls that permit underground pipeline connections to be made directly to specially designed shear valves without the need for a riser pipe assembly.

Under-dispenser containment system

A hose breakaway fitting for a fuel hose and fuel dispenser that comprises of an inner ball-shaped valve section and an outer socket-shaped breakaway section. The valve section is connected to the dispenser's fuel outlet and the breakaway section is connected to one end of the fuel hose. In the event that a vehicle drives away with the fuel hose nozzle still lodged inside its fuel tank, the breakaway section swivels and separates from the valve section that automatically shuts off the flow of fuel to prevent a hazardous situation.

Ball and socket breakaway fitting

A fuel dispenser receiving fuel from a fuel source and dispenses the fuel to an output device while metering the quantity of fuel dispensed to the output device. The fuel dispenser includes a housing. A inlet port in the housing couples the housing to the fuel source. An outlet port in the housing couples the housing to the output device. A meter chamber in the housing has a chamber inlet, a chamber outlet, and a chamber opening. An inlet passage extends from the inlet port to the chamber inlet for conveying fuel received from the fuel source from the inlet port to the meter chamber. An outlet passage extends from the meter chamber outlet to the outlet port for conveying fuel from the meter chamber to the outlet port. A nutating disk meter disposed within the meter chamber of the housing is for measuring the quantity of fuel flowing through the fuel dispenser. A chamber cover covers the opening and seals the nutating disk meter in the meter chamber. The nutating disk meter includes a disk having a magnetic portion that rotates at a rate corresponding to the rate of fuel flow through the meter. A sensor disposed outside and adjacent to the meter chamber and magnetically coupled to the disk detects its rotation and generates a corresponding signal.

Fuel dispenser with nutating disk meter

A fuel dispenser for service stations which comprises an integrated catastrophic protection system. The dispenser comprises a leak detector, an impact (or displacement) sensor, and a heat sensor for detecting dangerous conditions in or around the dispenser. The sensors may be connected to a processor within the dispenser or may send signals to a remote processor. Upon detection of any of the dangerous conditions, a system controller can take appropriate action to shut down part or all of the fuel system in the facility to avoid a fuel catastrophe.

A pipe coupling assembly for double-wall pipe having an interstice between an inner pipe and an outer pipe, which joins the terminal ends of adjacent sections of the double-wall pipe to a fitting element, as a tee or elbow fitting, as well as to a connector tube bypass assembly. The coupling assembly provides fluid communication between the interstices of the adjacent sections of the double-wall pipe and the connector tube bypass assembly but does not permit fluid from the interstices of the pipes to pass through the pipe fitting.

Pipe coupling device and assembly

A bicycle braking system comprising a bicycle frame having a rear wheel suspension mechanism connected thereto. Rotatably connected to the rear wheel suspension mechanism is the rear wheel axle of the bicycle rear wheel which includes a braking surface. Connected to the rear wheel suspension mechanism is a braking assembly which is selectively engageable to the braking surface of the rear wheel. The braking assembly is configured such that the engagement thereof to the braking surface facilitates the transfer of braking force to and the actuation of the rear wheel suspension mechanism in a manner countering the unweighting thereof normally resulting from the braking of the bicycle.

Bicycle anti-dive braking system

A device for providing access to the interstitial region between an inner pipe and an outer pipe which coaxially define the region. The inner pipe has at least one terminal end extending from the outer pipe to leave a portion of the outer wall of the inner pipe exposed to thereby expose the interstitial region. A boot is provided for defining a chamber with a larger end snugly fitting the outer pipe and a small end snugly fitting on the exposed outer wall of the inner pipe. The boot has an access port communicating with the interior of the chamber to provide access to the interstitial region.

Connecting device for pipe assemblies

A plastic pipe joint between two dissimilar plastics, one being a non-glueable olefin or rubber and the other a glueable or solvent-weldable plastic. The joint consists of a glueable, plastic ferrule compression fitted over the end of an olefinic or other non-glueable pipe by means of an internally expanded metal insert inside the olefinic pipe. A method for employing the instrumentalities of the invention in a pipe joint is also described.

Pipe coupling assembly system and method

A monitoring device for use with a coaxial pipe or double wall pipe device which provides access to the interstitial region between an inner pipe and an outer pipe which coaxially defines the interstitial region, each pipe having two terminal ends. The inner pipe has at least one terminal end extending from the outer pipe to leave a portion of the outer wall of the inner pipe exposed to thereby expose the interstitial region. A boot is provided for defining a chamber with a larger end snugly fitting the outer pipe, and a small end snugly fitting onto the exposed outer wall of the inner pipe. The boot has an access port communicating with the interior of the chamber to provide access to the interstitial region, where a liquid transfer tube for transferring liquid to such access port on boot is used for supplying a quantity of liquid into the interstitial region, and also having a sensor tube joined to such liquid transfer tube so as to permit discerning of any changes in the liquid level within sensor tube beyond a pre-determined limit(s) with respect to a fixed level.
