Patent number: 9801236Abstract: A band heater assembly for heating an object includes a band heater that extends around at least a portion of a perimeter of the object. The band heater includes a cable and a band. The cable includes a resistive element, a first cable end and a second cable end. The resistive element generates thermal energy based on a current received from a power source. The first cable end and the second cable end are connected to respective ends of the band heater assembly. The band is connected to the cable and transfers a first portion of the thermal energy to an exterior surface of the object. At least a portion of the cable is exposed from the band heater to contact the exterior surface when the band heater assembly is connected to the object.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2015Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: BACKER EHP INC.Inventors: Stacy Springer, Ronald R. Barnes, Robert Cockrell, Lucas L. Fowler, Alvin L. Slayton

Publication number: 20110129205Abstract: A flow-through heater includes a tubular housing and a heating element. The tubular housing defines a passageway. The heating element is provided in the passageway and attached to the tubular housing. The heating element includes a resistive wire and an electrically insulating coating on the resistive wire. The heating element includes a coiled wire portion coiled along a longitudinal axis of the tubular housing. The coiled wire portion defines a channel extending in a direction along the longitudinal axis to enable a fluid to flow therethrough. The coiled wire portion contacts the fluid when the fluid flows through the channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2009Publication date: June 2, 2011Applicant: EMERSON ELECTRIC CO.Inventors: Alvin L.

Patent number: 5027024Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine in the form of a windshield wiper motor having an armature shaft with a worm driving a worm gear mounted in a gear end housing. The armature shaft bearing is positioned against a shoulder on the shaft by a washer and push-on retainer. The bearing is slip-fit mounted in the gear end housing and a U-shaped retainer is mounted in a slot in the gear end housing adjacent the bearing such that the retainer engages the bearing to retain it against axial loading on the shaft. A bowed washer is mounted to engage the bearing to urge it against the retainer.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1990Date of Patent: June 25, 1991Assignee: United Technologies Motor Systems, Inc.Inventor: Alvin L.
