Publication number: 20140096698Abstract: A stabilizer is disclosed for use in stabilizing and maintaining the spacing between a pair of railway rails during rail tie replacement. The stabilizer comprises a rod having a length and a pair of ends. A pair of rail clamps is carried by the rod, and each clamp is configured to engage one of the rails and secure the rail relative to the rod. An expanding member is carried by the rod and configured to selectively expand along the length of the rod between its ends to engage a structure proximal to the rails, wherein, upon engagement of the rails by the rail clamps and the expanding member with the structure, the rails are maintained in substantially fixed relationship to each other and to the structure, but are free to be moved vertically relative to the structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2012Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: Good Earth Tools, Inc.Inventor: Matthew Roger Weyand

Patent number: 7637732Abstract: A die assembly and a process for using the die assembly is disclosed. The die plate is made of a material that is somewhat resistant to cracking when subjected to pressure of an extrudate material from behind the die assembly. A series of recesses are arranged about the circumference of the die plate, into which dies of a more hardened material are secured. Holes conforming to the shape of the desired extrudate are drilled through the die plate and dies. The surface of the dies is ground smooth so that there is consistent, even contact between the dies and the mechanism used for cutting the extrudate as it is pushed out of the holes in the dies.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2008Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Good Earth Tools, Inc.Inventor: Edward Williams

Publication number: 20090258103Abstract: An extruder that is adapted to provide a flow of an extrudate is provided. There is a frame having a plurality of storage positions, a discharge position and a plurality of extruder heads. Each extruder head is secured to the frame and is movable between one of the storage positions and the discharge position. A sealing member is provided that is secured to the extruder. The sealing member is adapted to move between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein the sealing member moves from the disengaged position to the engaged position so as to engage one of the extruder heads when it is in the discharge position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2008Publication date: October 15, 2009Applicant: GOOD EARTH TOOLS, INC.Inventors: Edward Williams, Alan Eugene Kirkland

Publication number: 20090258100Abstract: An improved extrusion assembly is disclosed which better adapts to thermal changes resultant from the transport of high-temperature extrudate. An extrusion screw present in the assembly includes a hollow portion. A biasing member is disposed in the hollow portion. When the assembly is transporting high-temperature extrudate, the biasing member's included Belleville washer component compensates for the thermal expansion and contraction of the extrusion screw.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2008Publication date: October 15, 2009Applicant: GOOD EARTH TOOLS, INC.Inventors: Edward Williams, Alan Eugene Kirkland

Publication number: 20090249934Abstract: A rotating cutting apparatus comprising a cutting blade holder with at least one hole on the outside diameter of the cutting blade holder into which cutting blades are inserted and bonded to the cutting blade holder. The cutting blade holder encloses a center hole, so that the rotating cutting apparatus can be mounted to a drive shaft of machinery or secured to a cup that can be mounted to the drive shaft of machinery and driven by the machinery. The cutting blade holder can be made of a less expensive material, with only the cutting blade being made of higher-grade materials that maintains its cutting edge well. Additionally, in some arrangements of the present invention, the cutting blade may be sharpened on two sides so that the rotating cutting apparatus can be used for longer periods of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2009Publication date: October 8, 2009Applicant: GOOD EARTH TOOLS, INC.Inventors: Edward E.

Publication number: 20090252628Abstract: There are a number of applications today where the pumping of abrasive slurries is necessary. The pumping mechanisms, though, can be complex, employing multiple transfer cylinders and movable pipes. These designs have their problems, specifically wear between poorly sealing surfaces. To reduce this problem, seals are provided that have multiple wear surfaces which include harder tiles secured over a softer core to benefit from the relative hardness or flexibility of each of the respective materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2009Publication date: October 8, 2009Applicant: Good Earth Tools, Inc.Inventor: Alan Kirkland
