Publication number: 20150045129Abstract: A trapdoor mechanism and method of providing a trapdoor mechanism for initiating descent into a slide ride is disclosed. Aspects of invention are directed to an energy efficient mechanism capable of dropping slide riders into the entrance of a slide ride. The trapdoor mechanism utilizes momentum produced by the force of gravity to swing the trapdoor to an open position, to a closed position, and back to the open position. A control device may be utilized to apply force to the trapdoor during its transit between the open position and closed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 29, 2012Publication date: February 12, 2015Applicant: Whitewater West Industries Ltd.Inventor: Daniel Pierre Brassard

Publication number: 20100062169Abstract: Devices and methods described herein operate with high temperature parts, such as heated metal parts obtained from a furnace via a conveyer. For example, in an embodiment, heated parts are coated with a coating solution by spraying the solution onto the parts without a quenching process. Methods and devices in embodiments allow cutting the volume of coating solution required for coating parts. Further, by not quenching the heated parts, heat remaining in the parts after coating process can be utilized for subsequent heat-requiring steps. Further, dispensing flow rate of the coating solution can be adjusted by a pump, thereby controlling coating density and temperature of the parts. Coated parts can dry without forced air, additional heat, or additional time. This allows a secondary operation shortly after the coating process, for which a dry surface is required.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2009Publication date: March 11, 2010Applicant: JN MachineryInventor: Daniel PIERRE

Patent number: 6455490Abstract: A non-spray-dried granular component suitable for use in a particulate zero-phosphate laundry detergent composition comprises from 10 to 30 wt % of organic surfactant and from 20 to 50 wt % of zeolite MAP, the component having a bulk density not exceeding 700 g/l. The component may be prepared by a mixing and agglomeration process using a high-speed mixer, a moderate- or low-speed mixer, and a gas fluidization granulator. The component may be used in conjunction with a spray-dried granular component of lower bulk density, for example, a spray-dried detergent base powder containing organic surfactant and zeolite A, or a spray-dried sodium-carbonate-based adjunct.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2000Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA Division of Conopco, In.cInventors: Daniel Pierre Marie Berthod, Christophe Michel Bruno Joyeux, Johannes Hendrikus Langeveld

Patent number: 6435053Abstract: An actuating arrangement (14) for a front end loader or the like is provided with a locking bar (52), an adjustable carrier (46) and an interlock (44). The interlock (44) is activated upon movement of the carrier (46) out of an operating position and prevents the locking bar (52) from being brought into a position in which the actuating members (40) can be activated. The interlock prevents unintended activation of the loader when the carrier (46) is in the non-operating position and prevents the carrier from being moved from the operating position unless the actuators (40) are blocked from movement.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Lionel Guiet, Daniel-Pierre Bignon
