Patent number: 4815508Abstract: A veneer lathe has a frame, a support for rotatably drivingly supporting a peel block, and a knife for peeling veneer from the block. First and second "backup" rolls rotatably, drivingly engage the block during peeling thereof. The first roll is positioned along a first arc which is centred on a first pivot axis; and, the second roll is positioned along a second arc which is centred on the first roll.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1987Date of Patent: March 28, 1989Assignee: Durand-Raute Industries Ltd.Inventors: Paul M. Carter, Gary L. Wilson, Arthur H. Bucksdrucker

Patent number: 4796632Abstract: An adapter and standoff for an ultrasound probe includes a first compression molded coupler portion and a second compression molded receptacle portion which are assembled to define a fluid cavity for coupling ultrasound waves and a receptacle for receiving a probe head. The coupler portion includes a first housing with a coupling surface on one end thereof and an opening on an opposing end. The receptacle portion includes a second housing with a coupling surface on one end and an opening on an opposing end. The second housing is inserted into the opening of the first housing with the coupling surfaces and the first housing defining the fluid cavity, the opening of the second housing receiving a probe head. The second housing further includes a vent hole for venting air from the fluid cavity and a filler hole for receiving a needle and filling the fluid cavity with a fluid.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1988Date of Patent: January 10, 1989Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Ronald J. Boyd, Wing Law, Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4781229Abstract: A veneer lathe having a fixed roller, a slidably positionable pressure roller and a slidably positionable following roller. A following roller positioning means selectably positions the following roller with respect to the fixed and pressure rollers in response to a following roller position control signal. The rollers are rotated against a block positioned between the rollers, thereby rotating the block with respect to a knife, which peels veneer from the block. The pressure roller is slidably positionable in a first plane, and the following roller is slidably positionable into a selected location in a second plane, thereby affording precise control over peeling of the block.A knife positioning means controllably advances the knife into the rotating block in response to a knife position control signal. A knife angling means controllably positions the knife at a selectably variable angle with respect to the rotating block in response to a knife angle control signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1988Date of Patent: November 1, 1988Assignee: Durand-Raute Industries Ltd.Inventor: Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4619215Abstract: A deep vee entry hull is disclosed and includes a central running surface flanked in the after portion thereof, by inboard, intermediate and outboard running surfaces. The central and inboard surfaces terminate at the aft ends thereof in a first transverse step while the intermediate running surfaces terminate in a second transverse step aft of the first.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1985Date of Patent: October 28, 1986Assignee: Wood Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Forrest L. Wood, Dale H. Jensen, Kenneth P. Poley, Charles C. Hoover, Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4465009Abstract: High speed turning characteristics of a small vee type planing hull are increased by the use of after, outboard running surfaces which are concavely configured.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1981Date of Patent: August 14, 1984Assignee: Wood Manufacturing Co.Inventors: Forrest L. Wood, Dale H. Jensen, Kenneth P. Poley, Charles C. Hoover, Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4398483Abstract: Porpoising control in a high speed planing hull is effected during straight, on plane running and in turning maneuvers by a novel configuration of aft tapered wedges bridging the aft, exit ends of the outboard and next adjacent, inboard running surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1981Date of Patent: August 16, 1983Assignee: Wood Manufacturing Company, IncorporatedInventors: Forrest L. Wood, Dale H. Jensen, Kenneth P. Poley, Charles C. Hoover, Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4361102Abstract: High speed turning characteristics of a vee type planing hull are increased by the use of after, outboard running surfaces which are concavely configured and include transverse wedges across the after, inboard halves thereof.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1980Date of Patent: November 30, 1982Assignee: Wood Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Forrest L. Wood, Dale H. Jensen, Kenneth P. Poley, Charles C. Hoover, Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4233920Abstract: The performance characteristics of a vee type planing hull are significantly increased by a combination of features for reducing drag and increasing attitude control.Exemplary of the former are a concave running pad to which air is inducted to reduce hull drag and an angled transom terminating at a transverse hull "step" which permits the outboard propulsion unit to be carried higher reducing unit drag. The presence of longitudinal "wedges" increase hull lift as planing speed is approached allowing the hull to plane at a lower speed.Transverse wedge elements positioned outboard of the concave running pad maintain a stern lifting torque for controlling bow up angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1979Date of Patent: November 18, 1980Assignee: Wood Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Forrest L. Wood, Dale H. Jensen, Kenneth P. Poley, Charles C. Hoover, Gary L. Wilson
