US Patent:

40014754, Jan 4, 1977

Filed:

May 9, 1974

Appl. No.:

5/468330

Inventors:

Joseph W. Chambers - Woodland Hills CA
Lester E. McTaggart - Jackson TN

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air
Force - Washington DC

International Classification:

B32B 100

US Classification:

428175

Abstract:

An ablative surface insulator having a basket-like open weave of metal strips, convoluted on a one inch pitch and having a spacing of one-half inch between center lines of the strips is attached to a base material to be protected. A suitable elastomeric material which provides thermal protection by pyrolytic charring is molded on the woven metal structure.

Appl. No.:

6/087182

Inventors:

Joseph W. Chambers - Santa Ana CA

Assignee:

Disposable Waste Systems, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

F16C 3378

US Classification:

3081871

Abstract:

A neoprene boot fixes a static race of a rotary shaft seal within a housing bore. An annular rotating race bears a carbon insert laterally mated to the radial face of the static race. A bushing borne by the rotating shaft supports a neoprene seal sleeve of inverted T-shape configuration including a flexible lip reinforced with a steel ring which is pressed by distortion and fluid pressure against a rotating sleeve, to which the sleeve base is locked. The rotating race presses against the static race to maintain a high integrity fluid tight seal between the rotating shaft and the fixed housing.

Appl. No.:

6/531523

Inventors:

Joseph W. Chambers - Santa Ana CA

Assignee:

Disposable Waste Systems, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

F16C 3378
F16C 3380

US Classification:

384480

Abstract:

A replaceable wear sleeve cartridge fixedly mounted to a housing bore carries internally the fixed race of an anti-friction bearing and a static seal race. The wear sleeve cartridge defines with a labyrinth preseal bushing fixed to the shaft, the basic elements of a labyrinth preseal and additionally resiliently couples through a seal wedge, a rotating seal race whose end face is both fluid pressure and resiliently biased against the end face of the annular static seal race.

Appl. No.:

5/655094

Inventors:

Joseph W. Chambers - Huntington Beach CA

International Classification:

B02C 1306
B02C 2336

US Classification:

241 4606

Abstract:

An apparatus for shredding, crushing and grinding solid waste material for eventual waste disposal in which two interacting stacks of shredding members are mounted on substantially parallel shafts and are positioned in transverse arrangement with respect to the direction of waste material introduction into the comminutor apparatus. A shredding member of each stack interacts with a shredding member on the other stack whereby the shredding members cooperatively interact in pairs within the comminutor. In some applications, the minimum clearance distance between the teeth of a cutting element with an opposing spacer in a pair of interacting shredding members differs as between different ones of the pairs of interacting shredding members. Teeth are provided on at least one member of each pair of shredding members for cutting in both directions of rotation. The shaft of one of the stacks is driven through a gear reduction system in order to reduce noise and power requirements for operation.

International Classification:

B02C 2336

US Classification:

241 4606

Abstract:

Two interacting stacks of peripheral overlapping shredding members of disk form are mounted on substantially parallel shafts and positioned transversely to the direction of waste material passing through a comminutor casing. The casing opens upstream and downstream side for introducing liquid borne waste to the chamber and for discharging the comminuted waste therefrom after shredding, respectively. The casing is closed off by a pair of imperforate side rails, each side rail is slotted to form a series of inwardly projecting planar fingers having front edges of circular arc form facing the periphery of the rotating cutting element disks and having a radius larger than the radius of the disks and being spaced slightly therefrom. The array of fingers extend over the complete height of the stack shredding members. This facilitates greater flow of the liquid through the comminution chamber via slots between the fingers, carrying fine solids to enhance comminution.
