International Classification:

B63H021/10

US Classification:

440/08800N

Abstract:

System and method for protecting a cooling system of a liquid-cooled engine using a protective material. This system enables a boat operator to flush the cooling system using salt, brackish or fresh water. In one embodiment, the system includes a reservoir, a dispenser and a connection device. The reservoir is capable of containing a protective material that can include, among others properties, anticorrosive properties. The dispenser controls release of the protective material from the reservoir and can be controlled manually or through a control unit. The system is coupled with the cooling system downstream from raw water intake ports and upstream from a terminal end of the cooling system as the cooling system terminates at the exhaust port. The protective fluid can be dispensed using gravity feed or a pump.

F16J 15/52

US Classification:

440112

Abstract:

A bellows for protecting a U-joint in a marine stern drive includes a flexible, hollow body defining an interior space and open at opposite ends, the body formed of a thermoplastic elastomer material to be self-supporting, having a first mating end and a second mating end and being pleated therebetween, a first sealing cuff formed of an elastomeric material, softer than the thermoplastic elastomer material, bonded to the first mating end and, a second sealing cuff formed of an elastomeric material, softer than the thermoplastic elastomer material, bonded to the second mating end.

Appl. No.:

15/826511

Inventors:

Carl Stone - Piedmont SC, US

International Classification:

F16B 5/06
F16B 2/22

Abstract:

A clip configured for compressive engagement of fabric to pipe or similar elongated members such as those of a scaffold. The clip has a body with opposing sidewalls separated by a gap. The sidewalls are formed of elastic or flexible material which will temporarily deflect to temporarily increase the diameter of the gap, to allow passage of the pipe through the gap. The sidewalls thereafter return to the original position wherein interior surfaces of the sidewalls and an axial cavity of the body compressively engage with the pipe and any fabric adjacent thereto to hold the fabric in a compressive, sandwiched engagement between the clip and the pipe.
