Abstract: A filter housing includes a first end, an opposite second end and a peripheral side wall, all defining, in a combination with each other, a hollow interior of the housing. An air inlet is provided adjacent the first end and an air outlet is provided in the second end. The air inlet and air outlet are in open communication with the hollow interior. One or more openings are provided through the second end, being disposed between the air outlet and the peripheral side wall. A filter cleaning apparatus includes the filter housing, a hollow filter within the hollow interior and a nozzle within the hollow filter. The nozzle is designed to purge contaminates from the filter with pressurized fluid supply. The contaminates can be removed through one or more openings. The apparatus can be used as an air intake pre-cleaner or as a main air filter for internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A trailer tow assist apparatus comprises a screw and nut drive with a housing, an actuation member coupled to a screw, a wheel assembly, a rigid member upstanding on said wheel assembly and a compressible and resilient member mounted within the housing in a contact with rigid member. A mounting member is provided for attaching the housing to the trailer frame or tow bar. The housing and the mounting member can be adapted with apertures for height adjustment purposes.

Abstract: A device configured for cleaning bag filters with compressed air comprises a frame having a hollow interior defining a wall of the frame and openings formed through a thickness of the wall so that the hollow interior is in open communication with an environment external to the frame. A mounting member is configured to be releaseably or permanently attached to one end of the frame and is further configured to be releaseably or permanently attached to a member configured to pass air flow therethrough.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning air filters utilizes a pressurized fluid flow, preferably air, to rotate a set of air spraying jets inside a hollow interior of a filter in order to remove particles from the filter. To ensure proper positioning of the jets in relation to the filter the present invention uses a set of plates with slots and pins, wherein the pins secure the apparatus on one end of the filter. The set of plates also at least partially blocks the flow of air out of the ends to more efficiently direct the flow of air from the jets to the filter. The jets then may be moved reciprocated along the length of the filter for cleaning purposes.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning an air filter includes a body, a closed chamber formed within the body, a fluid dispersing member having a portion thereof mounted for rotation within the body and passing through the chamber, a plurality of orifices formed through the wall of the fluid dispersing member and an arrangement for rotating the fluid dispersing member. The arrangement either includes a combination of nozzles secured to the fluid dispersing member and positioned within the chamber and an irregular inner wall surface of the chamber capable of providing resistance to a fluid flow discharged into the chamber or fins disposed on the fluid dispersing member and a passageway through the body for directing fluid under pressure onto the fins. Fluid supplied under pressure to the fluid dispersing member exits through the plurality of orifices toward an inner surface of a air filter filtering medium causing contaminants to exit therefrom.
