Patent number: 6729208Abstract: A tool for removing threaded members, such as fasteners, damaged by corrosion or mechanical stress. The tool includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A generally annular body extends between the first and second ends and includes an inner wall. A drive engaging portion is positioned intermediate the first and second ends and is adapted for cooperating with a drive mechanism. A series of spiral flutes is formed along the inner wall of the annular body so as to provide a corresponding series of spiral crests extending along the inner wall. Proceeding from an end of the tool in a direction toward the drive engaging portion, the flutes and crests taper inward toward a central longitudinal axis extending through the annular body. When the tool is placed onto a fastener, the crests bite into an outer surface of the fastener to engage the fastener, thereby facilitating application of torque to the fastener to facilitate its removal.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2002Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: AJ Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventor: Joe Chrzanowski

Patent number: 6619884Abstract: A barrier device includes a first containment chamber and a second containment chamber. The first containment chamber is secured to the second containment chamber by a connector. A barrier wall includes a first barrier device having a first containment chamber, a second containment chamber, and a connector. A containment chamber of a second barrier device is positioned between the first containment chamber and the second containment chamber and is positioned in overlying relationship to the connector. A barrier wall is built by positioning a first barrier device, having a first containment chamber, a second containment chamber, and a connector on a support surface. A containment chamber of a second barrier device is positioned between the first containment chamber and the second containment chamber of the first barrier device and overlying the connector.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2001Date of Patent: September 16, 2003Assignee: Beaver Bags, Inc.Inventors: Richard C.

Patent number: 6559079Abstract: A ballistic resistant pad having a first group of at least two successive overlying woven sheets constructed of high strength fibers. The warp and the weft for individual ones of the successive overlying woven sheets of the first group are substantially in alignment to one another. A second group of at least two successive overlying woven sheets constructed of high strength fibers is also provided. The warp and the weft for individual ones of the woven sheets of the second group are substantially in alignment to one another and are angularly displaced from the warp and the weft of the woven sheets of the first group.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2000Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Second Chance Body Armor, Inc.Inventor: Thomas E.

Patent number: 6502328Abstract: A seal for an opening defined by a sidewall portion of the pressurizable tank. The tank contains desiccant for drying gases which pass through the desiccant. An elongate antenna extends from an interior portion to an exterior portion of the tank and is used for carrying microwave energy to the desiccant for regeneration of the desiccant. The seal has an insulator with an interior surface for receiving engagement with the antenna at the opening of the tank. In one embodiment, the interior surface of the insulator is tapered such that a distance between opposing portions of the insulator reduces as the insulator extends in a direction through the opening toward the exterior of the tank. The antenna has a cross sectional dimension which reduces in size as the antenna extends in the direction through the opening toward the exterior of the tank.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2000Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Arrow Pneumatics, Inc.Inventors: Wayne G. Love, Clyde R. Kerns, Stephen B. Ciotti
