Patent

CA 2339980

A cap (10) includes a handle (12), torque-transmission ring (16), a driver (14) coupled to handle (10) and ring (16), and a closure member (20) adapted to close a tank filler neck (42). A connector (18) couples ring (16) to closure member (20) to establish a torque-limited connection (26) during cap installation and a direct-drive connection (28) during cap removal. An axial spring (22) coupled to handle (12) and ring (16) yieldably biases ring (16) toward closure member (20) to maintain the torque-limited connection (26). A rotary spring (24) coupled to handle (12) and ring (16) rotates closure member (20) relative to handle (12) to a reset position upon removal of cap (10) from filler neck (42).

L'invention concerne un couvercle (10) comportant une poignée (12), un anneau de transmission de torsion (16), un moyen d'entraînement (14) couplé à la poignée (10) et à l'anneau (16), et un élément de fermeture (20) conçu pour fermer un goulot de remplissage (42) de réservoir. Un connecteur (18) relie l'anneau (16) à l'élément de fermeture (20) de façon à établir une connexion (26) limitée en torsion pendant l'installation du couvercle et une connexion d'entraînement direct (28) lors du dévissage du couvercle. Un ressort axial (22) couplé à la poignée (12) et à l'anneau (16) sollicite libérable l'anneau (16) contre l'élément de fermeture (20) de façon à maintenir la connexion (26) limitée en torsion. Un ressort rotatif (24) couplé à la poignée (12) et à l'anneau (16) fait tourner l'élément de fermeture (20) par rapport à la poignée (12) vers une position de remise à l'état initial lorsque le couvercle (10) est enlevé du goulot de remplissage (42).

What's interesting is this war on paentts and copyrights and how Apple is trying to monopolize their power, ingenuity, and the markets. This ownership debate touches on a lot of what we've been discussing regarding ownership, distribution, and open source. Additionally, this also makes me think of another class that Elizabeth and Nadine have together about Media Policy and how there is this stifling hold on different telecommunication devices. I'm very curious to see how this will affect the gaming world. I'm also not a big fan of what Apple tried to do with putting games like Street Fighter on the iPhone. Ironically, I don't even own an iPhone so I don't know why I'm complaining.
