  • Patent number: 12551910
    Abstract: A foam generating device includes a housing defining an agitation chamber and a conditioning chamber. A cartridge assembly arranged within the agitation chamber defines an agitation flow path of the solution to increase a quantity of a gas in the solution. A conditioning assembly arranged within the conditioning chamber defines a tortuous flow path for the solution including a plurality of cylindrical discs configured to sequentially receive the solution. Each of the discs defines a plurality of radial ribs on a first side and on a second side opposite the first side, the first and second sides separated by a floor, and a disc passage defined in the floor. The conditioning assembly is adjustable in order to selectively define the tortuous flow path with a first quantity of radial ribs and second quantity of radial ribs in order to alter the aeration of the solution along the tortuous path.

  • Publication number: 20240409168
    Abstract: A split sprocket wheel designed for use with an endless track including two hub portions. The first hub portion defines multiple first wheel stud holes arranged around a circumference according to a vehicle wheel hub pattern, with each hole encircled by an outwardly projecting flange on an axial surface. The second hub portion similarly defines multiple second wheel stud holes distributed around its circumference, matching the pattern of the first wheel stud holes, each second wheel stud hole surrounded by a countersunk recess on the axial surface. The first and second hub portions interlock, with the flanges from the first hub portion fitting into the corresponding recesses on the second hub portion, thus securing the two components together.
