Appl. No.:

17/156462

Inventors:

- Lake Forest CA, US
Robert Patrick - Plano TX, US

International Classification:

B60B 19/00
B60B 15/00
B60B 15/02
B60B 19/12

Abstract:

A wheel set assembly having a plurality of sinusoidal channeled wheels. The sinusoidal channeled wheels having a sinusoidal channel disposed around a circular exterior surface of each of the sinusoidal channeled wheels. The wheel set assembly allows for better maneuverability and longevity in comparison to other materials handling equipment wheels because of the sinusoidal channels. The sinusoidal channels also provide heat dissipation along with the ability to push debris out of the way of the materials handling equipment.

International Classification:

B04B 9/02
B04B 5/00

Abstract:

A centrifuge has a mechanical drive coupled to a capsule rotatable simultaneously about mutually orthogonal X, Y, and Z axes. A stationary base has a first motor driving a centrally located hub in rotation about the Z axis. The hub has a pair of colinear arms and a pair of struts extending from the arms to support an outer ring. An inner ring is positioned concentric with the outer ring and a second motor is engaged with both the outer ring and inner ring so that it is enabled for rotating the inner ring relative to the outer ring. A third motor is engaged with both the inner ring and the capsule for rotating said capsule relative to the inner ring. The simultaneous rotation of the capsule about all three axes is therefore possible.

International Classification:

B04B 9/12
B04B 5/00

Abstract:

A spherical centrifuge has a sinusoidal track engaged on its surface, the track circling the surface following a great circle of said centrifuge. A mechanical drive engages the track enabling rotation of the centrifuge. The track may have a constant sinusoidal amplitude and a constant sinusoidal period. The centrifuge may have an interior space and a portal into the interior space. The interior space may have any shape. The centrifuge rotates about its diameter while also reciprocating in rolling motion lateral to its forward rotational direction by following the sinusoidal track.

International Classification:

B65H 23/038

Abstract:

A material aligning device having a plurality of sine waves, wherein the sine waves can be in the form of protrusions repeating along an outer surface of a roller. The material aligning device provides an oscillation to the material sheet moving on it to cancel its vibrations, which allows for faster and improved alignment while printing, web converting, and during other similar processes. The material aligning device also relieves the high amount of tension typically necessary for the printing, converting, and other similar material processing using machines. The reduction in tension also reduces the likelihood of the material sheet being overly stretched or for it to rip.

Abstract:

A materials handling equipment has blades of a lifting fork wherein each of the blades engages a blade wheel that moves between a retracted position when the blade is lowered and an extended position when the blade is raised to lift and support a load. The blade wheels have a plurality of tires linearly aligned on a common axis, the tires each having a circular circumference and a sinusoidally varying peripheral surface. The sinusoidally varying peripheral surfaces have relative peaks and valleys uniformly spaced around the circular circumference wherein the peaks and valleys are mutually nested.
