Lifting and leveling assembly for precast concrete slabs and method
A lifting and leveling assembly configured to be embedded in a precast concrete slab for lifting a leveling a precast concrete slab includes a base plate, a threaded sleeve, an anchor plate, a thread protecting sleeve, a threaded lifting bolt and an end cap. Rotating the threaded lifting bolt in a first direction positions a bolt head on the threaded lifting bolt above a top surface of a precast concrete slab to accommodate the attachment of a lifting device. Rotating the threaded lifting bolt in a second direction positions the bolt head beneath the top surface of the concrete slab and causes the threaded shaft to exert a force on the base plate to level the precast concrete slab.
PAVEMENT SLAB
A pavement slab includes a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, first and second longitudinal side surfaces, each of which extends from the top surface to the bottom surface, and first and second transverse side surfaces, each of which extends from the top surface to the bottom surface. At least one transverse tube is positioned intermediate the top surface and the bottom surface and extends from an inlet at the first longitudinal side surface to a second end intermediate the first and second longitudinal side surfaces. The at least one transverse tube is sized and shaped to convey a binder material. At least one vertical tube extends from each of the at least one transverse tube to the bottom surface. The at least one vertical tube is sized and shaped to convey the binder material.
SPRAY GUN
An injection port for a spray gun includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite the first end along a longitudinal axis. The injection port also includes an interior passage extending between the first end and the second end along the longitudinal axis, and a plurality of blind bores disposed at the first end, each blind bore extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
SPRAY GUN
A fluid housing for a spray gun includes a main body with a first inlet for connection to a source of pressurized air, a second inlet for connection to a source of a first polyurethane foam component, and a third inlet for connection to a source of a second polyurethane foam component. The main body also includes a valve block having a center gear, a first valve gear coupled to and driven by the center gear, a second valve gear coupled to and driven by the center gear, and a third valve gear coupled to and driven by the center gear.

SPRAY GUN
A swivel connector for a spray gun includes a first portion, the first portion including a first interior passage that extends entirely through the first portion along a longitudinal axis and a second a second interior passage that extends along a first axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The swivel connector also includes a second portion coupled to the first portion, the second portion including a third interior passage that extends entirely through the second portion along the longitudinal axis, and a fourth interior passage that extends along a second axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The swivel connector also includes a connector pin coupled to both the first portion and the second portion, wherein the connector pin includes a fifth interior passage that extends along the longitudinal axis.
POLYURETHANE FOAM FOR CONCRETE APPLICATIONS
A two-part polyurethane foam for lifting concrete. The two parts are mixed at a 1:1 ratio where the first part is isocyanate (Part A), and second part (Part B) is a polyol. The second part is comprised of recycled polyurethane foam and other polyols.
