20150122929 | CABLE REEL ASSEMBLY - A cable reel assembly includes a fluted drum; a pair of circular flanges removeably attached to opposite ends of the drum; and a number of elongated rods that connect the flanges to the drum. The drum and flanges are preferably rotationally molded of synthetic resin materials and are partially hollow so as to minimize their weight. | 05-07-2015 |
20140263885 | INTERLOCKING SUPPORT FOOT - An interlocking support foot and a container assembly including the support foot permits the support foot to be threaded onto a container but resists loosening of the foot by reverse rotation of the support foot once installed onto the container. The support foot is preferably molded of synthetic resin as a unitary member including a body, a threaded connector and at least one, and preferably a circular array of teeth radially spaced from the connector. The container is complementally configured to include a plurality of support areas for threadably receiving the support foot and provided with a threaded receiver and a radially spaced notch. When the support foot is installed on the support area of the container, the tooth engages the notch and resists reverse rotation of the foot. | 09-18-2014 |
20140251474 | COMBINATION FLOW CONTROL VALVE AND REVERSE FLOW CHECK VALVE - A combination flow control and reverse flow check valve controls the flow of fluid in a desired downstream direction and limits undesired backflow of liquid in an upstream direction into a fluid source such as a reservoir. The flow control and reverse flow check valve may include a housing having a fluid conveying channel with an upstream end configured for mounting to the liquid source and a downstream end for discharging fluids, a flow control valve positioned between the ends, and a check element positioned in the channel between the flow control valve and the downstream end. The check element is advantageously positioned between the flow control valve and the downstream end of the housing to prevent possible contaminants in a backflow liquid from reaching the flow control valve. | 09-11-2014 |
20130251457 | PIPE FLOAT - A pipe float is configured for receiving a pipe therein and providing buoyancy for maintaining the pipe along the surface of a body of water. The pipe float has an inner surface presenting a central passage adapted for receiving the pipe, the inner surface including a plurality of preferably substantially planar, longitudinally extending panels which provide a continuous inner surface. Adjacent panels are angularly oriented relative to one another, and the pipe float is preferably provided as a plurality of pipe float sections assembled together whereby one panel of a pipe float section is preferably oriented at an obtuse angle to an adjacent panel of that pipe float section. The panels may be of different transverse dimensions whereby the passage has a greater transverse dimension G which is substantially greater than a smaller transverse dimension S, with the outer diameter D of the pipe received in the passage being of a value equal to or smaller than G and greater than or equal to S. | 09-26-2013 |
20120318763 | BARREL RACK - A barrel rack is provided for supporting a plurality of barrels thereon, and preferably also for being stacked atop barrels to stabilize them and permit the support of additional barrels. The barrel rack is preferably a unitary member molded of synthetic material, and may be symmetrical about a horizontal plane extending through its center. It is provided with a plurality of cradle beds which support the barrel in an elevated position and permit the circulation of air around the barells stored thereon. The barrel rack may receive casters permitting the barrel rack to be used as a transport device for moving barrels received thereon. | 12-20-2012 |
20110114651 | FITTING TORQUE ARM RESTRAINT - A torque arm restraint is provided with a body having a bore including an axis and an arm extending from said body transversely to the axis. The restraint is adapted for resisting torque applied to the fitting of a liquid storage tank, and is configured either for mounting on a fitting or as a component of the fitting. The fitting may be an outlet fitting having a pipe mounted thereto and extending from the wall of the tank. The tubular body permits passage of instrumentation or liquid through the torque arm restraint and the fitting and the arm is provided with an abutment surface positioned proximate to the inside surface of the tank wall, either in engagement or in spaced relationship, whereby the arm resists torque applied to the fitting from outside of the tank. The body may include an attachment member which extends axially from the body and adapted, for example by threads, for mounting to a tank fitting, and the body may be coupled to a pipe within the interior of the tank. | 05-19-2011 |
20110100869 | PROTECTION AND CONTAINMENT SYSTEM FOR CO-PACKAGED CONTAINERS - A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers is provided which includes a hollow primary container, a top protector complementally configure to fit atop the primary container, and at least one retainer coupled to the top protector for holding a secondary container. The primary container has a circumscribing upright sidewall and an opening configured for receiving material to be stored in the container. The top protector includes a side wall and at least a pair of spaced-apart opposed risers, most preferably provided as one of four corner modules, the risers extending upwardly from the primary container above the opening and presenting a gap between the risers which is sized and configured for receiving the secondary container. Several retainers can be provided, either to hold the secondary containers in different gaps, or provided in tandem to hold two secondary containers adjacent to one another in or proximate a single gap. | 05-05-2011 |
20100326531 | COMBINATION FLOW CONTROL VALVE AND REVERSE FLOW CHECK VALVE - A combination flow control and reverse flow check valve provides a compact valve unit for controlling the flow of fluid in a downstream direction and limiting undesired backflow of liquid into a source such as a reservoir. The flow control and reverse flow check valve may be provided as a unitary member having a housing with an upstream end configured for mounting to the liquid source, a fluid conveying channel within the housing, and a check element positioned in the channel between the flow control valve, such as a ball valve, and a seat which is complementally configured with the check element to normally seal against backflow. A blocking element may be provided to prevent interference of the check element with the operation of the flow control valve while permitting liquid to flow in an intended downstream direction. Because the occurrence of a backflow event is an undesired and infrequent event which may necessitate investigation, the check element may be sized and made of a material which will move past the seat during pressurized flow, thereby providing an indicator that a backflow event has occurred when the check element is found within the source. | 12-30-2010 |
20080277423 | HOPPER WITH SLIDE DISCHARGE GATE AND METHOD MAKING THE SAME - A hopper bin assembly with a slide discharge gate comprises a hopper section, a slide gate housing, and a pallet. The hopper stores a volume of dry material and includes an outlet. The slide gate housing couples with the hopper and includes a discharge opening that aligns with the outlet of the hopper. A slidable gate that is coupled with the discharge opening controls the flow of material through the discharge opening. The pallet supports the slide gate housing and the hopper and includes openings that receive the forks of a forklift. A method of making at least a portion of the hopper bin assembly includes rotating a resin in a mold along two or more axes within a heated room or chamber. The mold is cooled and the part formed therein is separated into one or more sections. | 11-13-2008 |
