Patent number: 6681792Abstract: A multiple opening sleeve valve is provided with a gate movable to control flow or pressure without the need for axial movement of a component through a pressure-containing seal. A gate actuator can include a drive rod and nut coupled to a gate substantially internal to the valve housing without the need for grease or similar external lubrication. The valve can provide for relatively high in-line gate-moving force, a reduction in force or torque requirements for operation, increased ease of wear-part replacement and decreased overall valve length, compared to previous valve configurations of comparable size or capacity.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2001Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: Core IndustriesInventors: John Edward, Brad Matejek, Erick Maitre, Eric Brewer

Patent number: 5351568Abstract: There is provided by the present invention a speed changing apparatus having a housing mounting a plurality of inwardly directed, circumferentially disposed teeth, preferably in the form of a ring gear. The housing has a hub that rotatably receives at least a first shaft that in turn eccentrically mounts a plurality of elongate follower arms. Each follower ann is mounted at one end to the shaft with the other end having at least one tooth configured to engage the circumferentially disposed teeth. The housing further includes a base plate that is rigidly attached to the second shaft. Rotary motion is transferred between the first shaft and a second rotatable member by apparatus that includes a base pin that is rigidly attached to the base plate, an arm pin rigidly attached to a follower ann and a linking ann pivotally attached at opposite ends to the base pin and the arm pin. The second rotatable member may be a second shaft, the housing, or the base plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1993Date of Patent: October 4, 1994Assignee: Core Industries, Inc.Inventor: Leon G. Feterl

Patent number: 5144226Abstract: A multi-mode signal measurement system provides at least True RMS and Average RMS signal measurement modes in one system in response to a measurement mode selection made by an operator. The system controls the processing of the input signal by a selected signal measurement unit according to the operator selected signal measurement mode. After signal processing is complete, a display unit displays a value of the measurement of the input signal according to the selected measurement mode. Other measurement modes providing peak value and resistance measurement readings may also be provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1991Date of Patent: September 1, 1992Assignee: Core IndustriesInventor: Peter J. Rapp

Patent number: 4751401Abstract: A low voltage switch without moving elements, uses a triac power switching element in series with the AC load. A flip-flop circuit provides latching operation for On and Off functions. The triac is isolated from low-voltage actuating circuitry by an optoisolator which draws power from a step down transformer. The transformer also isolates the AC line from the manual switch circuits. A metal case is heat sink for the triac switching element. A threaded nipple, an integral portion of the casing, can be inserted through plug openings in standard electrical junction boxes to form a continuous heat flow path from the triac into the juncture box.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1987Date of Patent: June 14, 1988Assignee: Core Industries Inc.Inventors: Michael L. Beigel, Lester Brown, Thomas Miller

Patent number: 4730742Abstract: An apparatus for supportably elevating and lowering material handling apparatus having an elongate member includes two arms radiating upwardly from a base. A lower undercarriage arm is pivotably attached to the elongate member, and the lift arm is attached to a roller support which moves along a rail on the elongate member. The roller support and attached lift arm arm moved by a winch-drawn cable. At least one pair of spaced support sheaves is mounted on the elongate member, and the cable passes under the sheaves. At least one riser post extends upwardly from the base and is attached to the lower undercarriage arm so that it intersects the cable between the spaced support sheaves. A sheave mounted on the riser arm intersects and supports the cable when the elongate member is lowered. As the elongate member is lowered, the riser post supports an increasing portion of the downward load.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1986Date of Patent: March 15, 1988Assignee: Core Industries, Inc.Inventor: Leon G.
