Patent number: 5533671Abstract: A high pressure hot water acid washer is towed to a site on a trailer. A chemical tank and gasoline and diesel fuel tanks are filled. A water supply hose is connected to a water tank. A power cord is connected to a power source. A float valve controls the filling of the water tank. Water flows from the water tank through a Y-type filter to a water pump. A drain withdraws water directly from the water pump. The water pump and a compressor are driven with an engine. Pressurized water flows through a flow switch to a heat exchanger. Upon water flow, the flow switch completes a power circuit to operate a fuel pump with an electric motor. Fuel is pumped from the fuel tank and is atomized and sprayed into the heat exchanger. An ignition coil ignites the fuel. The power circuit is interrupted upon sensing a high temperature in a pressurized water delivery line from the heat exchanger. Pressure of pressurized hot water in the delivery line is controlled with a hot water pressure relief valve.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 1993Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: Unique Industries, Inc.Inventor: Ronald W. Baer

Patent number: 5117885Abstract: A caster wheel consisting of a pair of one-piece hub portions adapted to be releasably secured together to support a polyurethane tire and permit replacement thereof. The inner portion of the tire is trapped in a cavity which permits the tire to expand, or flow, axially under load bearing conditions. The tire's side walls are supported by a pair of outwardly divergently disposed support surfaces which substantially engage the entire length of the side walls to form a solid radial column of tire support and incorporate radial projections to prohibit relative rotation between the tire and the hub portions.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1990Date of Patent: June 2, 1992Assignee: Unique Industries, Inc.Inventor: Thomas A.
