Patent number: 10464176Abstract: A tool is provided for removal and installation of a fire tube that extends into an opening in a wall of a heating vessel. The fire tube locates within an interior of the heating vessel when mounted thereto. The fire tube has a tube wall that defines a tube interior and has a mounting end for mounting the fire tube to the wall of the heating vessel. The tool has an elongated main shaft member having an insertion end and an opposite control end. A first support is mounted upon the insertion end that is configured for being closely received within the tube interior. A second support is mounted along the length of the main shaft member, the second support having a fire tube interface configured for engaging and releasably coupling to the mounting end of the fire tube. A lift coupling couples to the main shaft and locates between the second support and the control end of the main shaft member for coupling to a lift line.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: WTX Oil Fields Services, LLCInventors: Michael Smith, Pete Smith, Ramon Garza, Joe Sanchez

Patent number: 5673848Abstract: The present invention provides a improved corrugated cardboard box formed from a single pre-cut and pre-scored blank. The box can better support vertical and lateral loads, such as are present when many like boxes are stacked in a column, making the box ideal for packaging and shipping easily damaged produce such as tomatoes. The box is typical in that it includes a bottom panel, two side panels, two top panels, and two end panels. The improvement resides in the provision of a corner support post at each corner of the box. Each corner support post includes a vertically extending corner support panel, which is attached to the side edge of the end panel, and an interior bracing panel which extends from the corner support panel to the inner surface of the end panel. In a preferred embodiment, the post also includes a connecting panel disposed between the corner support panel and the interior bracing panel.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1996Date of Patent: October 7, 1997Inventor: Juan Ramon Garza
