Patents by Inventor William J. Powell

William J. Powell has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11607782
    Abstract: An adapter for a bearing race and seal driver tool that allows the tool to be used in hard to reach applications. The adapter connects to a driver and a handle at a non-zero angle, for example a right angle, to allow the adapter to be struck at a face of the adapter rather than the handle to be struck at an end of the handle. A pocket is included at one or more connection points between the adapter and the handle or driver to resist rotational movement of the handle or driver.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2023
    Assignee: Snap-on Incorporated
    Inventors: Allen M. Hutchison, William J. Powell, Jonathan I. Andersen
  • Publication number: 20230010913
    Abstract: An adaptor for a press. The adaptor includes a body adapted to removably couple to the press cylinder or carriage of the press and an extension shaft having first and second opposing ends. The first end is removably coupled to the body, and the second end is adapted to couple to a drive adaptor.

  • Patent number: 4272496
    Abstract: The process of this invention provides for reducing the tendency of a carbon monoxide gas stream, containing a minor level of elemental phosphorus, to corrode metallic surfaces in a combustion zone upon combustion of the gas stream in the combustion zone to combustion gases. The process comprises, prior to combustion:(a) cooling the gas stream to a sufficiently low temperature to condense a quantity of elemental phosphorus to produce a reduced level of elemental phsophorus in the gas stream; and(b) diluting the gas stream with an effective amount of combustible gas, wherein the effective amount of combustible gas is an amount which is effective in producing a dew point of the combustion gases, with respect to the quantity of acid, e.g. meta-phsophoric acid (HPO.sub.3), produced by the combustion of the reduced level of elemental phosphorus, less than the temperature of the metallic surfaces.

  • Patent number: 4258018
    Abstract: The process of this invention provides for reducing the tendency of a carbon monoxide gas stream, containing a minor level of elemental phosphorus, to corrode metallic surfaces in a combustion zone upon combustion of the gas stream in the combustion zone. The process comprises:(a) prior to combustion, cooling the gas stream to a sufficiently low temperature to condense a quantity of elemental phosphorus to produce a reduced level of elemental phosphorus in the gas stream; and(b) injecting into the combustion zone during combustion an effective amount of MgO or a compound capable of yielding MgO to neutralize the quantity of acid, e.g. meta-phosphoric acid (HPO.sub.3), produced by the combustion of the reduced level of elemental phosphorus.
