Patent number: 6585003Abstract: A rising stem plug valve has a valve body housing that receives a plug. A handle assembly is attached to the plug for rotational movement of the plug between operative positions. A control assembly is attached to the plug for unseating and seating of the plug within the valve body. The plug includes at least one plug portion having openings corresponding to an interior configuration. Ring cords substantially surround the openings in the plug to create a seal therearound. The plug may include upper and lower plug portions with an untapered portion located between them. An O-ring is located on the untapered portion of the plug to maintain separation between the upper and lower plug portions.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2001Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: TM Industrial Supply, Inc.Inventors: Carl A Steiner, Ricky L Jackson, Michael S.

Patent number: 6077446Abstract: A device for filtering and disinfecting a fluid, such as waste water, is provided. The device includes a housing having an interior and a fluid inlet conduit in flow communication with the interior of the housing. An ozone source is in flow communication with the interior of the housing. Additionally, a method of filtering and disinfecting a fluid is provided. Filter media is introduced into a housing to form a filter bed. The fluid to be filtered is directed into the housing such that the fluid flows through the filter media to form a filtrate. Ozone is directed into the housing such that the ozone contacts and disinfects the filter media and the filtrate.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1998Date of Patent: June 20, 2000Assignee: TM Industrial Supply, Inc.Inventors: Carl A. Steiner, Ricky L. Jackson, Kenneth W. Giebel

Patent number: 6042775Abstract: A silver reclamation system for use with photographic solution. The silver reclamation system includes a body containing a plurality of metallic members positioned within a flow chamber and a metallic mesh contained within the body. The photographic solution contacts the plurality of metallic members and the metallic mesh material thereby causing silver contained within the photographic solution to plate these members. Also, the metallic members cause silver in the photographic solution to crystallize. The crystallized silver can then be contained within a filter for processing.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1998Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: TM Industrial Supply, Inc.Inventors: Carl A. Steiner, Ricky L. Jackson

Patent number: 4818402Abstract: A backwash strainer having a generally cylindrical filter element made up of a stack of spaced rings that are triangular in cross section, with the bases of said triangular rings disposed in a cylindrical surface. A hollow backwash arm has an open slot disposed on the inside of the cylindrical surface which operates at a predetermined distance from said element. The incoming water in said strainer flows from the inlet up through the straining element to the outlet. The backwash arm receives water from around the straining element, which flows through the element into the backwash slot and out with the debris accumulated on said strainer. Since the debris is supported on the flat interior of the rings, water flowing back into the arm into the slot in the hollow backwash arm forces trash and other debris from the rings down to the backwash water outlet. Water flowing through the clearance between the bars as used, helps flush the debris off the inside of the filter element.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1987Date of Patent: April 4, 1989Assignee: TM Industrial Supply, Inc.Inventors: Carl A.
