Title:
BREAKAWAY SEPARATION DETECTION AND ALERT SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002087970
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A breakaway separation detection and alerting system. A breakaway fuel hose (52) is connected to a fuel pump (1). A breakaway unit (54) connects the fuel hose section (53) and the fuel pump hose section (51) of the breakaway fuel hose (52) together. When the breakaway fuel hose (52) is subject to tension in excess of a predetermined load, the breakaway unit (54) will separate. An alarm activation device (75) will then activate an alarm (30) capable of alerting an individual remotely located from the breakaway fuel hose (52). In a first preferred embodiment, the at least one alarm is a first alarm and a second alarm. The first alarm is located in proximity to the fuel pump (1-12) and the second alarm is located remotely where a fueling station employee can monitor it. The first preferred embodiment also has a transmitter (30) and a receiver (120). When a breakaway separation condition occurs, the first alarm sounds. Also, the transmitter sends a signal to the receiver. The receiver then activates the second alarm, alerting the remotely located fueling station employee.
