Emanuele CHECCACCI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11814978
    Abstract: A mounting system for supporting rotating machinery is described. The system comprises a base frame having an upper side for mounting the rotating machinery, and a lower side. A set of main supporting members are arranged according to a triangular arrangement and forming a three-point mounting arrangement defining a mounting plane. Moreover, a set of auxiliary supporting members, having a variable stiffness in at least one direction, are provided and are configured and arranged such as to increase the stiffness thereof when the base frame is subject to an overload, thus reducing load on the main supporting members.

  • Patent number: 11473297
    Abstract: A panel for machinery enclosure, particularly for turbomachine enclosures. More specifically, a multilayered panel including several different layers each performing a specific function. In particular, the multilayered panel is capable to provide high levels of jet fire and fire/blast protection together with high performances in term of noise abatement with a lighter structure with respect to the panels of the prior art.

  • Patent number: 11346492
    Abstract: A fixing system for a panel, particularly for a noise absorption panel, including an omega stringer having a substantially omega-shaped cross-section, wherein the omega stringer includes a central portion and two lateral foot portions; a flat bar longitudinally directly connected to the central portion of the omega stringer; a sealing gasket arranged longitudinally onto the lateral foot portions of the omega stringer or onto the flat bar; wherein height of omega stringer is selected so that, when a panel is clamped between the omega stringer and the flat bar, the sealing gasket is compressed between panel and fixing system.

  • Patent number: 11125114
    Abstract: A turbomachine base plate is disclosed. The base pate includes an upper metal plate and a lower metal plate. The upper metal plate forms a turbomachine supporting surface. The base plate further includes an intermediate layer between the upper metal plate and the lower metal plate and bonded thereto. A frame extends peripherally around the intermediate layer.

  • Patent number: 10794120
    Abstract: The plant module comprises a base deck, a frame and a plurality of pieces of equipment mounted to the base deck and/or the frame; the base deck comprises of a grid of base beams; some of or all the beams of the base deck and optionally some of or all the beams of the frame are perforated, in particular castellated-type or cellular-type, so that they have a plurality of holes, in particular web-openings, for receiving conduits and/or pipes and/or trays.

  • Patent number: 10487973
    Abstract: A mounting system for supporting rotary machinery on a supporting structure of an off-shore installation, the system including a base frame provided with an upper side, for mounting the rotary machinery and a lower side, a set of at least four supporting members arranged at the lower side of the base frame and adapted to be placed on the supporting structure to act as an intermediate layer or frame between the base frame and the supporting structure in mounting condition. The supporting members include resilient elements generating a reaction force when subject to load and are configured to transfer to the base frame stresses and/or strains lower than allowable limits also in case of deformation of the supporting structures; the base frame has stiffness such as to guarantee design acceptance criteria for example for rotary machinery alignment, terminal points or interface point displacement, dynamic behavior or like parameters.
