Patent number: 7188636Abstract: A portable enclosure apparatus is provided with a frame assembly having a bottom wall, an upper frame member and a single pair of vertical support members. The support members are easily length adjusted by a single user to vary the height of the system while in use. The frame assembly can be quickly disassembled for convenient storage and transport. A cover envelopes the frame assembly to complete the enclosure. A portable dust collector can be coupled with the cover to secure airborne debris moving into the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2004Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Inventors: Steve Kanne, Brian Kenkel, David Kanne, Jimmy Judd

Publication number: 20060245831Abstract: A plow blade having a fluid passageway and points of fluid ejection is produced with basic manufacturing processes allowing for efficient production. The blade construction has a multiple component assembly for providing the ability to rebuild a blade and replacing a portion of the blade that may be worn. In another aspect of the invention a process of ejecting a specific fluid at specific points along a plow blade the desirable characteristics are maximized, while the volume of ejected fluid is minimized. This method is adaptable in static plowing and vibratory plowing utilities since lubricating the sides of the blade/chute that come into contact with the ground with fluid has been found to greatly reduce the amount of drag (friction).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2006Publication date: November 2, 2006Inventors: Keith Hoelting, James Reeves, Brian Kenkel

Patent number: 6511260Abstract: A utility line guide chute disposed behind a plow for installing multiple utility lines. Divider members disposed between guide chute-side walls are provided for guiding the multiple utility lines in the top of the guide and out a lower rearward portion of the guide whereby utility lines can be laid into the ground at predetermined depths in vertically spaced relationships with respect to each other as the plow and guide chute move forward. A sidewall of the guide chute is composed of separate parts, the shape of respective ones of said separate parts corresponding at least in part to the position of each of more than one respective utility line within the guide whereby the separate parts of the second wall can be selectively removed to facilitate removal of selected ones of the utility lines without removing other ones of the utility lines.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2001Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: Vermeer Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Brian Kenkel, Keith A. Hoelting, James V. Reeves

Publication number: 20020174574Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mounting arrangement for a cutting tooth for a trencher chain. The tooth includes a base portion aligned along a first plane. The base portion includes structure for allowing the cutting tooth to be connected to the trencher chain. The tooth also includes a distal portion that is generally obliquely aligned with respect to the first plane. A curved transition is located between the distal portion and the base portion. The curved transition curves away from the first plane and at least partially forms a cupped portion that is effective in the trenching operation. The base portion also includes a recess into which the mounting hardware can fit, to protect the mounting hardware from wear.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2001Publication date: November 28, 2002Inventors: Jerome Robillard, Brian Kenkel, Keith A. Hoelting, James V. Reeves

Publication number: 20020100192Abstract: A plowing apparatus for installing multiple utility lines having a plow is adapted to be attached to a prime mover for cutting and opening in the ground to a predetermined distance below the surface of the ground as the prime mover moves along the top of the ground. A utility line guide chute is disposed behind of the plow and is operatively attached to the plow. The guide chute includes a forward wall, bottom wall, a first and second side wall operatively attached to the front wall and at least a partially opened top for receiving utility lines to be installed into the ground as the plow moves forwardly. Divider members are disposed between the first and second guide walls for guiding the multiple utility lines in the top of the guide and out a lower rearward portion of the guide whereby utility lines can be laid into the ground at predetermined depths in vertically spaced relationships with respect to each other as the plow and guide chute move forward.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2001Publication date: August 1, 2002Inventors: Brian Kenkel, Keith A.
