Air Valve Pneumatic Tube Carrier System

US Patent:
8317432, Nov 27, 2012
Filed:
Oct 7, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/575020
Inventors:
Raymond Anthony Castro - Denver CO, US
Chad David Cornelius - Highlands Ranch CO, US
Kenneth Michael Hoganson - Aurora CO, US
James Joseph Podracky - Denver CO, US
Robert Paul Trenconsky - Elizabeth CO, US
Assignee:
Translogic Corporation - Denver CO
International Classification:
B65G 51/24
US Classification:
406183, 406191
Abstract:
A valve device and method are provided that are operative to selectively divert the flow of air within a pneumatic carrier within a pneumatic carrier system. Generally, the device includes a pneumatic tube that is sized to permit the passage of pneumatic carriers. The pneumatic tube includes at least aperture in a sidewall of the pneumatic tube, an outer sleeve, and an actuator. The actuator acts on the outer sleeve to block and open the aperture to fluid flow in order to divert air in the pneumatic system. In one embodiment, the valve is disposed in a pneumatic system in conjunction with a pneumatic carrier handling device.

Heavy Duty Wear Band For Pneumatic Transport

US Patent:
8491229, Jul 23, 2013
Filed:
Mar 18, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/727120
Inventors:
Chad David Cornelius - Highlands Ranch CO, US
Assignee:
Translogic Corporation - Denver CO
International Classification:
B65G 51/06
US Classification:
406190
Abstract:
Provided herein are pneumatic carriers for use in high speed and/or heavy payload pneumatic carrier transport applications. The carriers incorporate thermally conductive wear bands to remove heat from areas of high friction to areas of low friction and thereby reduce the wear rate of the wear band. In one arrangement, the wear band includes a metallic wire impregnated cloth having metallic wires woven into the matrix of a textile, which forms the wear band. In one embodiment, the wire impregnated within the textile may extend around at least a portion of a carrier such that the wires can transfer heat from a location of high friction (e. g. , a bearing surface beneath a carrier) to a location of low friction.

Variable Diameter Pneumatic Tube Brake

US Patent:
8382401, Feb 26, 2013
Filed:
Oct 7, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/574909
Inventors:
Raymond Anthony Castro - Denver CO, US
Chad David Cornelius - Highlands Ranch CO, US
Kenneth Michael Hoganson - Aurora CO, US
James Joseph Podracky - Denver CO, US
Robert Paul Trenconsky - Elizabeth CO, US
Assignee:
Translogic Corporation - Denver CO
International Classification:
B65G 51/20
US Classification:
406 83, 406195
Abstract:
A braking device and method is provided that is operative to selectively slow and/or stop a pneumatic carrier within a pneumatic carrier system. Generally, the device includes a pneumatic tube that is sized to permit the passage of pneumatic carriers. The pneumatic tube includes at least one braking element that may be disposed into the bore of the pneumatic tube to at least partially impede the passage of a pneumatic carrier through the bore. In one embodiment, the braking element is formed as a variable diameter section of the pneumatic tube that may be selectively constricted to change the diameter of the bore of the pneumatic tube. Such constriction may slow and/or stop the passage of a pneumatic carrier through the bore of the pneumatic tube.
