Patent number: 11835176Abstract: A lubricating system that includes a manifold with one or more manifold ports that permit a flow of lubricant through the manifold. The manifold is configured for removable attachment to another manifold such that any number of manifold can be joined together. An ejector is removably attached to the manifold. The ejector has one or more projections configured for insertion into each of the one or more manifold ports in the manifold, such that the ejector is configured to receive the flow of lubricant from the manifold, via the one or more projections, and to discharge lubricant periodically, or at preset intervals, from one or more outlet ports of the ejector. A locking key is disposed between the manifold and ejector. The locking key is configured such that movement of the locking key attaches or detaches the ejector from the manifold.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: LSP Industries, Inc.Inventors: Raymond LaMantia, Jeffrey LaMantia

Publication number: 20090108103Abstract: A spray system with an improved valve assembly for various liquid spray applications is provided. The improved needle valve assembly includes a variable orifice and a fixed orifice for enhanced controllability of liquid output. The liquid output control is enhanced when a variable orifice is adjusted to regulate a liquid flow rate while a minimum flow rate is precisely maintained by a proper selection of a fixed orifice.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: April 30, 2009Applicant: LSP Industries, Inc.Inventor: Raymond A.

Patent number: 6821345Abstract: An apparatus for coating sheet metal strip substrate with lubricant type laminate includes top and bottom roller coaters for pinching the metal therebetween to apply laminate. The roller coaters are movable between engaged and disengaged positions. Pneumatic cylinders for actuating the top and bottom roller coaters are operatively connected such that the top and bottom roller coaters can “float” or move vertically while at the same time pinching the metal strip therebetween. The roller coaters comprise roller coater carriages that carry applicator rolls between support rolls without the need to journal ends of the applicator roll. A spring biased applicator head applies laminate directly to one or more sections of the applicator roll.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2002Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: LSP Industries, Inc.Inventor: John A. Obermark

Patent number: 6521044Abstract: An apparatus for coating sheet metal strip substrate with lubricant type laminate includes top and bottom roller coaters for pinching the metal therebetween. Each roller coater includes an applicator roll supported between three contact points provided by two support rolls and the sheet metal surface itself. As such the applicator roll can be without and axle and freely removable. The applicator roll is driven by the movement of the metal strip. The roller coaters are movable between engaged and disengaged positions. When in the disengaged position, support brackets on the top roller coater prevent the applicator roll from dropping and replace the bottom support of the sheet metal. Pneumatic cylinders for actuating the top and bottom roller coaters are operatively connected such that the top and bottom roller coaters can “float” or move vertically while at the same time pinching the metal strip therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1999Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: LSP Industries, Inc.Inventor: John A. Obermark

Patent number: 5927337Abstract: A modular valve block assembly adapted to form a manifold for fluid applications comprised of a plurality of individual valves having an outlet orthogonally disposed relative to the inlet. More specifically, the manifold of the present invention includes a plurality of individual valve blocks having one inlet, and two outlets. One outlet is disposed coaxially with the inlet and is adapted for direct or spaced connection to the inlet of another valve block. The other outlet of each block is provided at a ninety degree angle to the inlet to allow for connection to the machine or object receiving the compressed fluid. A ball or needle valve is provided to control the flow of fluid to the first outlet, the second outlet, or both. The present invention therefore provides a modular manifold assembly which allows for quick and inexpensive assembly without the need for costly and cumbersome "T" adapters and individual input lines in that the individual valves include orthogonally disposed inlets and outlets.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1998Date of Patent: July 27, 1999Assignee: LSP Industries, Inc.Inventor: Raymond A.
