  • Patent number: 5762031
    Abstract: A vertical boiler with horizontal evaporator tubes is provided. The evaporator is divided into two sections, which are connected in parallel to the drum. The first evaporator section relies on the feedwater pump to provide forced circulation. The second evaporator section relies primarily on natural circulation but may also be assisted by the feedwater pump. This design provides a vertical boiler which is reliable under all operating conditions, including start-up, transient conditions, and steady state conditions, without requiring the use of circulating pumps or an auxiliary energy source (steam, water, gas, etc.).

  • Patent number: 5761875
    Abstract: A concrete pole includes an attachment mechanism which provides a structurally sound means of attaching to the pole and permits the use of short, inexpensive bolts.

  • Patent number: 5730404
    Abstract: A golf club holder can be folded up to be carried in a golfer's pocket and can then be unfolded or extended so that its ground-piercing legs can be pushed into the ground. The golf club holder includes a clamp, having first and second clamping surfaces, at least one of which is movable relative to the other for clamping the golf club onto the golf club holder. The golf club holder is clamped onto the club and is then pushed into the ground simply by holding the grip of the club and pushing the club down until the head of the club rests on the ground. To remove the holder, the golfer simply pulls the club by its grip, pulling the holder out of the ground, and then removes the holder from the club. In this way, the golfer can keep a spare club handy without its grip getting wet and without having to bend down to pick up a club from the ground.

  • Patent number: RE35851
    Abstract: The rollers of a live roller conveyor are driven by drive wheels, which are driven from a driveshaft extending along the conveyor. When the drive wheels and their respective conveyor rollers are in contact with each other, the drive wheels cause the conveyor rollers to rotate. When the drive wheels and conveyor rollers are out of contact, the rollers are not driven and can accumulate product. Relative motion between the drive wheels and the conveyor rollers causes the drive to be engaged and disengaged.This is a Reissue of a Patent which was the subject of a Reexamination Certificate No. B1 5,375,696, dated Nov. 12, 1996, Request No. 90/003,811.
