US Patent:

42498856, Feb 10, 1981

Filed:

Jul 20, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/926186

Inventors:

Richard B. Reich - Streamwood IL

Assignee:

Vapor Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

F23N 100

US Classification:

431 38

Abstract:

An atomizing nozzle particularly suited for your use in compact combustion chambers. Successful combustion of liquid fuels having generally high viscosity and widely varying properties such as distillation temperatures, distillation rates and impurities, including "heavy" and waste oil. Improved combustion is accomplished through the use of viscosity control and improved fuel atomization. Use of a nozzle utilizing "shearing" of the fuel by an atomizing fluid stream which intersects the fuel at approximately right angles. Recombination of liquid fuel particles is prevented by the use of a controlled "exit orifice" in the burner nozzle. The nozzle also features continuous circulation of the fuel in the nozzle body which establishes orientation of impurities contained in the fuel relative to the exit orifice so that they are expelled through the orifice. Combustion of conventional distillate fuel oil such as API No. 1 and 2 is also provided.

Appl. No.:

6/330078

Inventors:

Richard B. Reich - Algonquin IL

Assignee:

S. Himmelstein and Company - Hoffman Estates IL

International Classification:

H01E 2106

US Classification:

336120

Abstract:

A rotary transformer such as for use in a torque-meter structure arranged to have reduced cross talk between the excitation and signal transformer portions, and to have improved durability. In the illustrated embodiment, the air gaps of the transformer section are disposed outboard relative to each other, with the U-shaped cores opening away from each other toward outboard support bearings to provide a circuitous flux path and thereby reduce cross talk between the transformer sections. A two-piece housing structure minimizes dimensional errors in manufacture. The rotor support has a large axial mounting contact for improved accuracy and stability as a result of the short length of the core housing the improved structural arrangement.

Appl. No.:

6/645540

Inventors:

Richard B. Reich - Algonquin IL

Assignee:

S. Himmelstein and Company - Hoffman Estates IL

International Classification:

G01L 310

US Classification:

7386232

Abstract:

A torquemeter apparatus for use in measuring torque in a drive having a drive member and a driven member. The apparatus includes a signal transfer device and a torque sensing device connected to the signal transfer device. The driven member is journaled to the drive member by bearings. The torque sensing device is mounted to the drive member through a drive member extension outboard of the bearings. A flexible coupling is provided for transmitting driving force from the drive member outboard of the torque sensing device to the driven member, permitting substantially only torque forces acting coaxially on the drive member to be transferred from the driven member to the torque sensing device.
