Abstract: An orbital knife including a support structure; a yoke rotatably attached to the support structure having a yoke hub and a plurality of yoke arms; one or more rotatable knife rolls connected to at least one of the plurality of yoke arms; one or more blades attached to each of the one or more knife rolls; one or more sun pulleys rotatably attached to the support structure; an anvil roll rotatably attached to the support structure; and one or more planet pulleys wherein (1) each knife roll has attached thereto at least one planet pulley, (2) each planet pulley is joined via a drive belt with one of the one or more sun pulleys wherein rotation of the sun pulley causes rotation of the planet pulley effectuated by the force imparted by the drive belt.

Abstract: An orbital knife including a support structure; a yoke rotatably attached to the support structure having a yoke hub and a plurality of yoke arms; one or more rotatable knife rolls connected to at least two of the plurality of yoke arms; one or more blades attached to each of the one or more knife rolls; one or more sun gears rotatably attached to the support structure; an anvil roll rotatably attached to the support structure; one or more idler gears wherein each such idler gear is mated with one of the one or more sun gears; and one or more planet gears wherein each knife roll has rotatably attached thereto at least one planet gear and each planet gear is mated with one of the one or more idler gears, with the sun gear driving the idler gear which in turn drives the planet gear.

Abstract: An orbital knife including a support structure; a yoke rotatably attached to the support structure constituting a yoke hub and a plurality of yoke arms; one or more rotatable knife rolls securely connected to at least one of the plurality of yoke arms; one or more blades attached to each of the one or more knife rolls and including a cutting element; one or more sun gears rotatably attached to the support structure; an anvil roll rotatably attached to the support structure; and one or more planet gears wherein each knife roll has rotatably attached thereto at least one planet gear and each planet gear is mated with a sun gear.

Abstract: A cartridge cleaning device comprising a cleaning nozzle joined to means for vertically displacing the nozzle, a power unit, and a rotatable platform. Fluid is introduced to the device and split into two streams, one stream providing fluid to the cleaning nozzle and the other stream directed to the power unit and effectuating rotation of a power wheel, thereby generating a torque which is transferred to the means for vertically displacing the nozzle and the rotatable platform. The torque to the means for vertically displacing the cleaning nozzle effectuates vertical displacement of the nozzle. The torque to the rotatable platform effectuates rotation of the rotatable platform on which at least one cartridge is placed during cleaning operations. The cleaning nozzle directs a stream onto the cartridge surface and perpendicular to the cartridge longitudinal axis and is displaced vertically in concert with cartridge rotation.

Abstract: An apparatus for delivering fire suppressant to a confined space, such as a trash dumpster, is disclosed. The unit attaches to the wall of the confined space and allows the operator to use it to suppress the fire from a safe distance.

Abstract: A cargo securing system for steel coils, for example, includes, on a supporting platform, two parallel spaced tracks and coil supporting chocks slidably mounted thereon. End chocks are selectively fixed to the tracks to support one end of a coil, while adjustable chocks are slidable to a position to support another end. The adjustable chocks are operably connected to anchors, which are selectively fixed to the tracks, for securing movement against a coil end, and for prevention of subsequent movement along the tracks. Multi-intermediate chocks permit securing multiple coils of different sizes by supporting the adjacent ends of two coils intermediate the end chocks and the adjustable chocks. Storage track sections permit pivoting of the chocks to a storage position to convert the platform to flat-bed use when desired. An "I"-beam chock retainer is provided for cooperation with a particularly defined track.
