2010032, Dec 30, 2010
Filed:
Aug 27, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/807119
Inventors:
Lynn A. Buckner - Chickamauga GA, US
International Classification:
B08B 9/00
US Classification:
134166 C
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a compact user friendly multi tool mobile sewer jetting and in ground utility servicing vehicle with one or more reels mounted on an articulated boom. A vacuum excavation system with a vacuum hose and vacuum hose reel may also be mounted on the mobile vehicle. The articulated boom having a first end pivotably mounted to a mobile vehicle. The articulated boom may have sufficient strength to support a jetter hose reel mounted near a second end of the boom and the boom may have sufficient move ability to position and stabilize the reel near a man hole or service work area for user friendly use by an operator. Sensors, monitors and controllers are included to gather data related to the operation of the service vehicle, the boom, the reels, and the utilities they use and service. The boom articulation may be powered. Functions of the operation may be remotely operated and wirelessly controlled. An RFID may be used to identify operators. GPS may be used to document location and time a service is accomplished. Cameras may be used to monitor, control and measure aspects of the service operation. Data logging and computers collect, store and assimilate data related to the interaction of the various functions and supply data to programs such as a GSI utility mapping program.

Dry Can Drying Apparatus Having Tangential Blowers

US Patent:
5255448, Oct 26, 1993
Filed:
Jun 18, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/900565
Inventors:
Lynn Buckner - Chickamauga GA
International Classification:
F26B 308
US Classification:
34114
Abstract:
Apparatus for drying fabric and yarn includes a plurality of dry cans for transferring heat to the material and elongate tangential blowers parallel and adjacent to the dry cans to circulate air at the surfaces of the dry cans. Each tangential blower has an outlet having a length substantially equal to the length of the dry cans and in substantial alignment with the dry cans, as well as a width extending over a substantial arc of the tangential blower. The tangential blowers also include tangential blower wheels with axial vanes extending substantially the length of the tangential blowers and the dry cans, and inlets extending over substantially the same length as that of the dry cans. The tangential blowers are pivotally mounted so that the orientation of the outlets can be adjusted. In an alternate embodiment, a heating coil is positioned at the inlet of the tangential blowers to heat the air entering the tangential blowers.

Inventors:
Lynn Buckner - Chickamauga GA, US
International Classification:
A47L 5/38
US Classification:
015315000
Abstract:
A mobile vacuum boring and mud recovery method comprising a device which will create a vacuum condition within a vacuum container and having a vacuum conduit to transport a liquid and or solid particles into the vacuum container. The vacuum conduit may be configured as a powered articulated boom with sufficient structural strength to support and operate an earth-digging bucket mounted adjacent to the suction end of the vacuum conduit. The vacuum conduit boom may have the added feature or attachments chosen from a telescoping vacuum conduit section, sensor to locate buried utilities, water spray nozzle, man hole cover remover cutting tool grinding tool, saw, blasting tool, surface cleaning tool, demolition tool, torque wrench, tractor to pull vacuum hose, jetter nozzle, camera, monitors and controls to operate the attachments and their function and power sources to operate them. The vacuum container may be mounted horizontal, vertical or in order to be compact and work better for recycling, the vacuum container may be mounted on an incline to provide space beneath it to locate a water storage container. The inclined vacuum tank facilitates gravitational assistance in both separation of liquids and solids as well as unloading debris. The vacuum container may further comprise a means to separate a liquid from solids. A dispensing device may be added to dispense a liquid or a solid from the vacuum container without eliminating the vacuum environment within the vacuum container, and said vacuum container having the ability to fill, store and dispense its contents simultaneously. The above described vacuum system may be mounted on a variety of mobile platforms, chosen from but not limited to a trailer, truck, skid steer, fork lift, track hoe, railroad car, or zero turn radius vehicle which may have the added feature of being convertible between a powered vehicle and a trailer.

Apparatus For Tractor Trailer Onboard Dynamic Alignment

US Patent:
7467473, Dec 23, 2008
Filed:
Jun 2, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/809529
Inventors:
Mitchell C. Harrill - Rossville GA, US
Elena Harrill - Rossville GA, US
Lynn A. Buckner - Chickamauga GA, US
International Classification:
G01B 7/31
US Classification:
33264, 3320318
Abstract:
The present invention monitors a vehicle's normal axle path of movement during vehicle operation when the axle is aligned perpendicular to the vehicle's geometric centerline. An onboard computer () stores normal axle motion values which are determined by an arm or line segment () having a first end originating at axle () and a second end of line segment () ending on segmented sensing plane () mounted adjacent to axle (). Upon axle deviation, axle () moves outside of the normal axle path of movement (64). Computer (), along with transducers and transmitters are used for interpolating and conveying information from sensors which detect and compare values of the area of axle movement outside of the normal axle path of movement to values of the axle's normal path. Signals are transmitted to one or more linear actuators () attached relative to the vehicle's axle adjustment mechanisms (). Computer () constantly maintains a sequence of events on corrective actions and instructs actuators () which dynamically correct the axle's alignment to normal motion values.

Torsion Trailer Hitch

US Patent:
2003017, Sep 25, 2003
Filed:
Mar 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/378258
Inventors:
Lynn Buckner - Chickamauga GA, US
International Classification:
B60D001/00
US Classification:
280/483000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vehicle towing hitch or trailer coupler method of reducing bounce or shock motion from being transmitted between the towing vehicle and towed vehicle or trailer, thus allowing a towing vehicle to tow a trailer over a rough road while reducing the bounce effect of the trailer from being transferred to the towing vehicle and visa versa. Said towing hitch or trailer coupler further comprises two or more parallel arms attached to one or more torsion axle as the preferred means to both support the towing load and also dampen the road bounce and shock load. The dampening means may be mounted on the towing vehicle or the trailer coupler.
