Patent number: 9869061Abstract: A metering rod assembly including a body for accommodating a metering rod insert and configured to clamp the metering rod and/or metering rod insert without the use of an auxiliary clamping device, such as a pressure tube or the like. A rod bed insert is supported in a tapered channel of a body whereby a clamping action is created during use. In another embodiment, the body includes a hinge portion that facilitates relative rotation between upper and lower jaws to create a clamping action during use.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2013Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Buschman CorporationInventors: Thomas Westlake Buschman, Westlake David Buschman

Patent number: 9044769Abstract: A coating apparatus for coating an associated product includes a conveyor mechanism for advancing the associated product, and an indexing system configured to index the associated product as it is advanced by the conveyor mechanism. The indexing system includes a product support member coupled to the conveyor mechanism for supporting the associated product during movement through the coating apparatus. The product support member includes a rotatable spindle shaft and an indexing member rotationally interlocked with the rotatable spindle shaft. The indexing member is configured to engage a guide surface of an adjacent first guide member as the product support member is advanced by the conveyor mechanism past the guide member to change an orientation of the rotatable spindle shaft. A locking mechanism is also included for locking rotation of the rotatable spindle.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: BUSCHMAN CORPORATIONInventors: Westlake David Buschman, Thomas Westlake Buschman
