US Patent:

20130206624, Aug 15, 2013

Filed:

Feb 15, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/397665

Inventors:

Thomas Cooper Riley - Pennsville NJ, US

International Classification:

A45D 40/12

US Classification:

206385

Abstract:

A container protection apparatus comprises a protector and one or more flanges disposed along a circumference of the lower end of the protector. The flanges extend inwardly toward a central axis of the protector and flex about the lower end of the protector. An expandable longitudinal slot runs down the length of the protector from its upper end to its lower end. When the protector is coaxially positioned, force fitted, and moved down the length of the container having a wheel at its lower end, till the lower end of the protector projects beyond a lower edge of the wheel, the width of the longitudinal slot narrows, the inner surface of the protector snap-fits around the outer surface of the container, and the flanges engage with a cylindrical surface and a lower surface of the wheel, thereby preventing the wheel from being inadvertently turned.

Thomas C. Riley - Salem NJ

International Classification:

B23K 900
B23K 3106

US Classification:

219 61

Abstract:

In a welding procedure for joining of adjacent, possibly partially enclosed metal components, such as pipe sections, wherein the welding procedure can be of a gas tungsten arc type such as a heli-arc type, or similar process, and wherein oxidation of metal frequently occurs within the components at the joinder point due to presence of oxygen in the region of weld during the welding procedure; introducing under pressure and at least initially pressure blowing, at a relatively high pressure, an inert gas into the interior of the components in a substantial swirling and interior surface wiping motion. The inert gas is blown through the components, from the entry end, beyond the weld region to rapidly, and substantially completely remove from the interior and weld region, any oxygen or other possible deleterious gas or material. Subsequently a lower pressure introduction of gas will serve to maintain the interior free of oxygen and the like. This procedure permits a clean, rapid welding of the elements in the absence of a build-up of undesired metal at the weld or juncture point, or undesired disturbance of the weld puddle which could cause defects in the weld.

Abstract:

A method for receiving data and providing calculated adjustments to a paint application process can comprise receiving at the server a first operating parameter associated with a first paint processing machine at a first painting facility. The method can also comprise receiving at the server a first quality control measurement from an analysis of a finished first paint product. Additionally, the method can comprise accessing from a database a set of historical operating parameters associated with the first painting processing machine. Further, the method can comprise automatically identifying a deficiency in the finished first paint product based upon the first quality control measurement. Further still, the method can comprise transmitting to a mobile computing device screen a proposed adjustment to the first operating parameter that will correct the deficiency.
