TORSION PUMP AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPLYING CHEMICAL LIQUID
20230197471 · 2023-06-22 · ·

The present invention provides a pump for supplying a liquid. The pump comprises: a tube member having a hose communicating with a chemical liquid inlet and a chemical liquid outlet, and a cylindrical drum provided to wind the hose, and configured to discharge a chemical liquid through a volume change caused by contraction of the hose wound around the drum; and a driver configured to provide a rotational force such that the hose is wound around the drum.

ENCLOSED WASH SYSTEM
20230182179 · 2023-06-15 ·

This system was designed after many years of trying to resolve dirt and dust accumulation in confined areas on mobile and stationary equipment, and other types of plant equipment, including equipment of offshore oil and gas platforms, maritime vessels, and others, and more generally any kind of motorized or mechanical equipment with internal areas that accumulate dust and dirt. The areas where dust and dirt accumulation occur would normally only be accessible by removing major components. The initial installation of the wash system may be time consuming, however, may eliminate future risk exposure and manning. The system may be designed to utilize existing pressure washers and air systems. The supply manifold may be constructed from steel, hydraulic lines, pressure wash nozzles and angled fittings. The installer may assess areas of accumulation, directing the nozzles at the general area. Once the system has been installed, mechanical operators may easily attach the device to a pressure source. Quick connect fittings would be installed outside the machine, connecting pressurized water or air to the supply manifold.

FLUID LANCE STOP POSITION SENSOR DETECTION METHOD AND SYSTEM
20220163311 · 2022-05-26 ·

A system for distinguishing target metal objects from each other in close proximity to each other. The method includes transmitting a first sinusoid signal via a first transmit coil to a first receive coil in close proximity to the first transmit coil; transmitting a second sinusoidal signal at a second frequency and amplitude different from the first frequency and amplitude to a second receive coil arranged in close proximity to the second transmit coil and in close proximity to the first receive coil such that received signals in the first and second receive coils include first and second frequency signals from the other of the first and second transmit coils. The received signals are separated via frequency domain multiplexing. The signals are compared to detect a presence of the target having a signal magnitude different from the first received signal and the received second signal and a known reference point.

Hydro Auger Post Hole Cleaner System
20220288651 · 2022-09-15 ·

The present invention relates to a hydro auger post hole cleaner. The invention allows for more efficient removal of residual debris from auger-drilled holes. The system can be combined with augers incorporated into engine-mounted machines such as, but not limited to, skid steers, pressure diggers, backhoes and crane diggers. The system uses a toggle-operated pump powered by the machine's battery and controlled with a relay and switch to pump water from water tanks through a water hose to the drill auger on the engine-mounted machine's arm and into an auger-drilled hole. Water causes the debris in the hole to conglomerate and adhere to the auger. The auger is removed from the hole and the adhered conglomeration is removed from the auger, thereby, removing debris from the hole without manual effort.
