Abstract: This invention is a small hand piston type pump design to pump small quanity of flammable liquids safely from a drum. The pump has a grounding clip, and a bonding clip attached and a metal bung adapter to ensure that static build up during the pumping process is adequately grounded from not only the pump but the vessel into which the liquid is being pumped and the drum. The pump also contains a flame arrestor in the spout and a check ball and a strainer in the pickup tube to ensure that a fire within the pump will not extend into the drum and a strainer in the pickup tube to further arrest any flames. The pump is made out of carbon steel, glass and teflon so that the parts have good chemical resitance and are long lasting. The pump has a sealing device design for longjevity. This sealing device has a packing gland whose edges are beveled. It fits into a conically channel between the packing head and packing nut and when the packing nut is tighten the packing gland is forced towards the shaft.

Abstract: This invention is an apparatus and method of removing the unhardened portion of a coating. More specifically, the preferred embodiment is an apparatus that removes the unhardened portion of photopolymer plate after it has been exposed. The apparatus is made of basically four parts, a tank that contains the solvent and cylinder within the tank where the plate to be washed is placed along the inside wall, a carrousel which is made up of cylindrical brushes and flotation chamber, and a motor to drive the carrousel in a rotary fashion. The plate to be washed is placed on the inside wall of the cylinder. The brushes of the carrousel hold the place in place against the wall and when the motor is turned on, these brushes are driven against the plate by centrifugal force and brush off the unhardened portion of the plate.

Abstract: This invention is a adjustable forked wedge separator. The invention basically consist of a handle that is integrally attached to the narrow edge of a truckcated triangular shaped body member. On the wide edge of the trunkcated triangular shaped body member are the wedge members. These members are flat on the bottom and of the same thickness as the body member at the bottom and taper to a point at the top end. In one embodiment of this invention one of these wedges is integral attached to the body member and the other wedge is adjustable. In this embodiment of the invention the means for adjusting the one wedge is a rack on the bottom of the adjustable wedge member and a helix shaped gear around the outside of the cylinder in an opening in the body member. The rack and the helix shaped gear engaged such that when the cylinder is turned the wedge moves. In another embodiment one or both wedges can be adjustable. In this embodiment the body member has slots on each side of the handle.

Abstract: This invention is a packer which is a short pipe designed to attach to a screen or filter device at one end. The other end is designed to attach to the well pipe or nipple extension or provide a seat for a submersable pump. On the outside of the pipe are four annular rings to provide a seal between the packer and the adjacent strata of earth or pipe casing. Three of the four annular rings extend perpendicular from the pipe. The fourth which attaches to the end of the packer extends in an upwardly concave fashion from the short pipe. On the inside of the packer is an annular ridge in approximately the middle of the short pipe. This ridge keeps the well pipe, nipple extension, submersable pump, and the screen from touching when they are attached to the packer. The packer is made of plastic and can be cast in a single step process.
