Patent number: 11458505Abstract: Deblinding apparatuses and deblinding methods are provided. A deblinding apparatus may include a support frame including a grid structure and multiple compartments. Multiple compartments may be formed by a respective portion of the grid structure and a respective set of support members. Further, multiple scattering members may be disposed within a compartment. Scattering members be removably affixed to a portion of the grid structure that forms a part of a compartment. Multiple unsecured objects may be placed within a compartment. When attached to a screen and in response to movement of support frame, at least one unsecured object of the multiple unsecured objects may collide with a first scattering member and with a surface of the screen to thereby cause deblinding of the screen. Sizes, shapes, masses, and morphologies of unsecured objects may be designed to optimize collision rates of unsecured objects with scattering members and with the screen assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2018Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: DERRICK CORPORATIONInventor: Anthony J. Lipa

Patent number: 6827223Abstract: A vibratory screening machine having a single vibratory motor mounted on its inner resiliently mounted frame by motor mounting structures at its ends, each motor mounting structure consisting of a combination of a fist bracket carrying a directionally stiff bushing with the fist bracket being mounted in a motor mount bracket with the fist bracket having a first cutaway portion positioned within a second cutaway portion in a rib on the base of the motor mount bracket. The directional stiffness of each bushing is aligned with the center of rotation of the vibratory motor, and this will produce linear motion when the unbalance of the vibratory motor is in line with the center of rotation of the motor and the direction of the directional stiffness of the bushings.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2002Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: Derrick CorporationInventors: James R. Colgrove, Anthony J. Lipa
