Appl. No.:

10/163355

Inventors:

Leonard Silverstein - Atlanta GA, US
Jurgen Baumgart - Huntington Beach CA, US

International Classification:

A62C008/00

US Classification:

169/047000, 169/036000, 169/054000, 169/046000, 124/004000, 124/081000, 124/006000, 124/082000

Abstract:

Fires in tanks storing combustible liquids are treated by introducing a fire extinguishing media comprising frozen projectiles onto the surface of the burning liquid. The media is applied across the surface of the burning fluid to extinguish the fire and prevent its re-ignition.

Abstract:

A thrower system includes a container for storing a projectile to be thrown, a centrifugal thrower for propelling the object a distance away from the thrower system through centrifugal force, and conveying means for transporting the projectile between the container and the centrifugal thrower. The thrower system may throw baseballs, softballs, golf balls, or similar objects, and in particular, may be a cryogenic projectile thrower system. Such a cryogenic projectile thrower system is configured to include a container for storing cryogenic projectiles, a funnel hopper receiving the cryogenic projectiles from the container, a conveyer receiving the cryogenic projectiles from the funnel hopper and transporting the cryogenic projectiles to an elevated location with respect to the funnel hopper, a centrifugal thrower for propelling the cryogenic projectiles a distance away from the thrower system though centrifugal force, and a feeder receiving the cryogenic projectiles from the conveyor and dispensing the cryogenic projectiles to the centrifugal thrower.

Filed:

Aug 19, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/897848

Inventors:

Jurgen Baumgart - Huntington Beach CA

Assignee:

ACD, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

B24C 506

US Classification:

51432

Abstract:

A blast media transport and throwing wheel apparatus includes a throwing wheel in the form of a straight vane centrifugal fan with a conically shaped axial opening therein for receiving the blast media (e. g. pellets) to be propelled against molded article to be deflashed. A shroud surrounds the throwing wheel and includes an entrance opening aligned with the axial opening and an exit opening through which the media is propelled. A feed cage is mounted on the shroud and extends into the axial opening and a feed tube connects the feed cage with a hopper containing a static quantity of the media. The feed cage includes a passageway for directing the media into the throwing wheel on one side of the rotational axis thereof.

Appl. No.:

7/830073

Inventors:

Jurgen Baumgart - Huntington Beach CA

Assignee:

Cryogenic Group Inc. - Torrance CA

International Classification:

F16K 3700

US Classification:

137556

Abstract:

The invention defines a position-indicating valve handle that is adapted to be mounted to the free end of a valve stem, wherein the handle includes a spiral groove in which a steel ball is free to move when the handle is turned by gravitational or magnetic force so that the ball will remain at a fixed point within the spiral groove (such as the lowest point where the handle is angularly disposed to the horizontal and gravitational force is used) as the handle is rotated. A transparent plate with indicia thereon is positioned to cover the spiral groove and allow the operator to visually determine by means of the location of the ball the approximate position of the valve stem within the body of the valve.
