Carrier Conveyor System
US Patent:
4564100, Jan 14, 1986
Filed:
Jun 23, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/507054
Inventors:
Edward E. Moon - Grosse Pointe Woods MI
Assignee:
Acco Babcock Inc. - Fairfield CT
International Classification:
B65G 4308, B65G 1306
US Classification:
198341
Abstract:
A carrier conveyor system wherein carriers are disengaged from the main conveyor in advance of a work station and re-engaged beyond the work station and a transfer conveyor is positioned such that it receives the carriers as they are disengaged, transfers them as required to the work station, removes them from the work station after the work is performed and returns them to the main conveyor. The transfer conveyor comprises a plurality of transfer assemblies positioned along each side of the path of the carriers from the area where the carriers are disengaged from the conveyor through the work station and to the area where the carriers are re-engaged with the conveyor. Each transfer assembly comprises a plurality of longitudinally spaced wheels mounted with their axes transverse to the path of the carriers. The rollers are driven continuously when it is desired such that the carrier is moved by each transfer assembly to the succeeding transfer assembly or position. The number of transfer assemblies is such that there will be sufficient time at the work station to perform the function desired and at the same time there will always be a carrier ready for re-engagement with the conveyor thereby insuring that there will be a carrier at each longitudinally spaced drive position on the main conveyor in the remainder of the conveyor system.
System And Method For Controlling Blasting Apparatus
US Patent:
5097633, Mar 24, 1992
Filed:
Nov 6, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/431908
Inventors:
Donald L. Branton - Livonia MI

Henry J. Vartanian - Livonia MI
International Classification:
B24B 4900
US Classification:
5116571
Abstract:
Operation of a blasting hose is controlled safely and efficiently by the operator at the nozzle by means of a switch-controlled circuit housed at the nozzle and connected to circuits at the blast pot by means of a three-wire cable arranged to stop operation of the blast pot if a main switch held by the operator is released by the operator. The switch-controlled circuit includes a tone generator to produce tones correlated to changing the mix of blast agent and air, as well as cutting off the supply of either or both.
