Patent number: 4432336Abstract: A system for the transmission and conversion of the potential energy of hydrocarbon fuels to available heat, power and light. The system is particularly adapted for use with natural gas, artificial gases or any of the LPG fuels such as propane, butane, etc. According to the system of the invention, the fuel gas is mixed with air preferably in the amount providing the stoichiometric ratio to oxygen and is stored under pressure and ultimately transmitted to burner elements which are hermetically sealed except for the inlet and discharge ports, such as tubes, power sources, such as captive and free piston devices and gas turbines and light sources. The system includes special forms of equipment for mixing and pressurizing the gas and air in the correct ratio and special forms of equipment for establishing and controlling the combustion processes.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1981Date of Patent: February 21, 1984Inventor: Robert B.

Patent number: 4412509Abstract: The energy conversion system disclosed is especially adapted for use with hydrocarbon or fossil fuels, for instance natural gas, with which substantial quantities of water vapor are developed when the fuel is burned, for instance in an engine, such as a turbine or a cylinder and piston internal combustion engine. In the system according to the present invention increased efficiencies are achieved by employment of a special form of power package capable of much more effectively utilizing the waste heat of the exhaust gases than has been practicable heretofore. The application also discloses tube-in-tube type of heat exchangers for use in the disclosed and also in other energy conversion or transfer systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1981Date of Patent: November 1, 1983Inventor: Robert B.

Patent number: 4300437Abstract: The complete drum comprises two, axially-separable, generally cylindrical sections, which are open, inwardly, toward each other, each of these two sections having but one playing head, so that the two heads are disposed respectively at the outer ends of the cylindrical assembly. When the open ends of these two basic sections are axially spaced-apart to provide an annular gap between them, the space within said sections communicates with the ambient air, through said gap, substantially uniformly around the periphery of the drum. This construction, with gap, is intended to provide any desired increase in volume, and a great variety of tonal modifications.Means are provided for adjustably varying the size of the gap, or for closing it altogether; whereby the volume, pitch, dynamics, and tonal characteristics of the drum may be varied. This may be done by using adjustable holding means, and/or by using perforate or imperforate cylindrical filler pieces.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1977Date of Patent: November 17, 1981Assignee: Hinger Touch-Tone Corp.Inventors: Fred D.

Patent number: RE30977Abstract: A machine, and method, for tumbling objects or parts, generally of plastic material, to remove thin flange-like projections left along mold mating lines and frequently referred to as "flash". An advancing belt-like conveyor has a portion disposed to define an object-supporting surface so upwardly sloped in the direction of conveyor advance, as to cause tumbling and consequent deflashing of a mass of objects supported on said surface. The conveyor is also movable between two positions in which the objects are, respectively, loaded upon and automatically discharged from the conveyor. In the illustrated apparatus these are upper and lower positions. Tumbling occurs in the upper position, and discharge takes place in the lower position, under the influence of the advancing movement of the conveyor. The system includes mechanism for effecting additional cleaning of the objects, while tumbling on the conveyor, by subjecting them to a blast of impact cleaning media.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1980Date of Patent: June 22, 1982Assignee: Finmac IncorporatedInventor: Robert F.
