Abstract: A lifting sling assembly comprises a centering collar element forming a concentric sleeve around a central concavity, a centering housing element, a wire rope, and a lifting support. The centering housing element is defined by a concentric flange member forming a concentric sleeve around the centering housing element. The wire rope is inserted into the central concavity, and the centering collar element is swaged onto the wire rope. The centering collar element, the centering housing element, and the concentric flange member are integrated into a contiguous non-welded assembly such that the wire rope remains rigid within the centering collar member. The lifting support is a mechanical support lifting apparatus.

Abstract: A seal cartridge and barrel manifold seal are provided for use in a subterranean well and in a method to inject fluid, that is initially produced into the well from a subterranean formation or zone, into another subterranean formation or zone. The seal cartridge has two distinct annular seals positioned within opposite sides of a unitary housing to inhibit fluid flow through the housing in both axial directions along a rod that is positioned through the housing. A barrel seal manifold is provided that is unitary in design and has tapered flow surfaces thereby provided increased strength, flow dynamics and life.

Abstract: A support for moving a large appliance, particularly a washing machine or dryer, includes first and second brackets for mounting on a base surface, a slide assembly connected to the first and second brackets, and a frame for mounting the appliance. The frame is connected to the slide assembly for slidable movement relative to the first and second brackets whereby the appliance moves in unison with the frame. The slide assembly includes two sets of interconnected slide tracks cooperating with each other and a plurality of rollers to facilitate sliding movement of the frame. The perimeter of the frame is adjustable to accommodate appliances of varying depth.
