  • Patent number: 9327486
    Abstract: This invention generally relates to a tape dispenser with automatic backing removal more particularly including a spindle rotatably mounted for receiving said supply of tape; a pinch roller set in tension having an adjustment to set the drag for the tape supply passing through the pinch rollers that convert a pull of the tape to a rotary motion; a take-up spindle for spooling the protective backing layer when separated from the tape; a set of drag washers to maintain an pre-set tension as the protective backing is spooled onto the take up spindle; a first gear responsive to the rotary motion of the pinch roller set and a second gear responsive to the motion of the first gear and axially attached to the take-up spindle for spooling the protective backing.

  • Patent number: 9273802
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method of installation of a pipe in fixed association with at least one stanchion, said stanchion having a universal pipe mount for fixing the distance from a pipe inserted into the pipe holder to a mounting surface, and when two or more stanchions and associated pipe holders are used to insert a pipe, the distance between the pipe holders and the mounting surface create a pitch of the pipe in the direction of the sink and away from the source of a liquid insures the proper rate of gravitational flow of the liquid therein.

  • Patent number: 5472484
    Abstract: A method for visibly marking an area contaminated with transformer oil or other organic liquid uses a marking composition that consists of a colorant held within a solid carrier material, the colorant being such as to effect a visibly perceptible change upon contact with the organic liquid. The carrier material may be an absorbent that permits delivery of the colorant through capillary action, or the colorant may be encapsulated by a cell-forming matrix material that interacts with the contaminating liquid to effect release.
