US Patent:
7516721, Apr 14, 2009
Filed:
Aug 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/464532
Inventors:
Rodney Ray Syler - Franklin TN, US
Assignee:
AOS Holding Company - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
F24H 9/02
US Classification:
122 192, 29890051
Abstract:
A dam assembly to protect a component mounted on a water heater tank wall while insulating foam is injected between the tank and a jacket surrounding the tank, the dam assembly comprising an outer portion, an inner portion, and a frangible web connecting the inner and outer portions, the web having a strength sufficient to withstand force applied to the inner portion to press the dam assembly into an aperture in the jacket such that the outer portion surrounds the component between the tank and the jacket, and the web breaking under the application of a pre-determined force on the inner portion, allowing the inner portion to be at least partially pushed inside the outer portion to enclose the component within the dam assembly.

Water Heater Base

US Patent:
7765959, Aug 3, 2010
Filed:
Jun 15, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/763594
Inventors:
Rodney R. Syler - Franklin TN, US
Assignee:
A.O. Smith Corporation - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
F24H 9/02
US Classification:
122 192, 220567, 2205673, 122510
Abstract:
A support base is provided for a water heater, the support base having a structure for supporting components of the water heater in their proper position in a manner that elevates an outer jacket of the heater and provides space for insulation between the outer jacket and an inner water tank. The support base comprises a lip at one end of the support base, an angled middle portion projecting upwardly from the lip such that the lip and the angled middle portion intersect to form a trough for positioning and supporting the water tank. The support base also has a top portion extending in a generally vertical direction from an upper end of the angled middle portion such that the top portion provides support for the outer jacket.

Transition Element For A Passage In A Water Heater

View page
US Patent:
8113154, Feb 14, 2012
Filed:
Oct 24, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/258130
Inventors:
Rodney Ray Syler - Franklin TN, US
Assignee:
AOS Holding Company - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
F22B 7/18
US Classification:
122160, 1221551
Abstract:
A water heater. The water heater includes a water tank adapted to contain water to be heated, a combustion chamber positioned proximate the water tank, a combustor positioned in the combustion chamber and operable to create products of combustion, a passage extending upwardly from the combustion chamber and through the water tank, the passage having an upper portion comprising an inner tube and an outer tube and a lower portion comprising an inner tube and an outer tube, and a transition element positioned in the passage and configured to direct supply air from the outer tube of the upper portion to the inner tube of the lower portion and deliver hot products of combustion from the outer tube of the lower portion to the inner tube of the upper portion, the transition element maintaining separation of the supply air and the products of combustion.

Water Heater Base

US Patent:
8353261, Jan 15, 2013
Filed:
Jul 12, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/834516
Inventors:
Rodney R. Syler - Franklin TN, US
Assignee:
A. O. Smith Corporation - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
F24H 9/06
US Classification:
122 192, 2989003
Abstract:
A method of making a circular support base for a water heater in which a sheet of material having two ends is formed with corrugations such that the corrugations are progressively more pronounced towards one longitudinal edge thereby creating a generally circular shape out of the formerly straight sheet material, the two ends are connected to form an unbroken circular shape, the corrugated material is shaped to form a lip at an inner circumferential region, and the circular lip intersects with an outer circumferential region of the support base to form a circular trough for supporting and positioning a water tank of the water heater.

Water Heater Tank With Convex Heads

View page
US Patent:
8358920, Jan 22, 2013
Filed:
Nov 18, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/949567
Inventors:
Ramin K. Rahmani - Johnson City TN, US
Rodney R. Syler - Franklin TN, US
Assignee:
A. O. Smith Corporation - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
A47J 27/00
B65D 88/00
US Classification:
392441, 2205673
Abstract:
A tank for a water-heating appliance including a body, a first head, and a second head. The body includes a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis. The body extends along the longitudinal axis from the first end to the second end. The first head includes multiple landings. The first head is coupled to the first end so that the first head is convex and extends away from the body. The longitudinally outermost points of the landings define a first plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The second head includes multiple landings. The second head is identical to the first head except for at least one opening through a landing. The second head is coupled to the second end so that the second head is convex and extends away from the body. The longitudinally outermost points of the landings define a second plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

Water Heaters With Sealed Door Assembly

US Classification:
122 1301, 122494, 122504
Abstract:
A water heater door assembly includes a base plate sized and shaped to substantially sealingly cover an access opening in a water heater combustion chamber and has at least one opening through which a fuel supply line extends at least partly between a burner in the combustion chamber and a gas control valve, and a flexible seal positioned at least partly within the opening including an engaging portion substantially sealed to an edge portion of the opening, and a through hole that is shaped to receive the fuel supply and has a size slightly smaller than the size of an outer dimension of the fuel supply line such that the flexible seal and the fuel supply line are friction fit together to form a seal.

Water Heater Burner Tube And Door Assembly

US Patent:
8596226, Dec 3, 2013
Filed:
Apr 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/431525
Inventors:
Marcus E. McAnally - Nashville TN, US
Duane A. Lee - Johnson City TN, US
Rodney R. Syler - Franklin TN, US
Emadeddin Y. Tanbour - Johnson City TN, US
Mark A. Murphy - Nashville TN, US
Assignee:
AOS Holding Company - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
F24H 1/18
F24H 9/12
F16L 5/00
US Classification:
122 171, 122498, 2851391, 2851411
Abstract:
A burner tube and door assembly for a water heater includes a burner tube and a fuel supply line in telescoping relationship to define a tube junction. The tube junction extends through the door of a water heater. One of the tube and line includes an enlarged portion. A lock ring applies a radially-directed force around a portion of the tube junction. The enlarged portion and lock ring are on opposite sides of the door to secure the door to the burner tube and fuel supply line. The enlarged portion and lock ring apply a compressive load to the door to resist rotation of the door with respect to the tube junction.
