  • Publication number: 20250314029
    Abstract: A tine replacement device for a muck rake designed to replace one or more broken tines. The device includes a body with at least one tine, one or more support prongs, and a rake connection. The body also features a first and second tine hole for coupling to the tines of the muck rake. The tine replacement device is made from durable and resilient material and can be secured to the rake using various types of connections such as zip ties, clamps, cable ties, or hook and loop ties. The invention also includes a method for replacing damaged or worn tines on a muck rake, which involves removing the damaged tines, sliding the tine replacement device over the muck rake's tines, and securing the device in place.

  • Patent number: 9695988
    Abstract: A pipeline-waste-gas reducer apparatus to reduce the amount of gas wasted by existing high-pressure pipelines having existing pipeline controllers and existing actuator-based control valves, by reducing the pressure of gas sent to existing pipeline controllers by a determined factor, consequently reducing the amount of gas wasted by the controllers, and then increasing control pressure returned by the controllers by the same factor, ensuring that the proper control pressure is sent to the existing actuator-based control valves.
