  • Patent number: 11079036
    Abstract: A double action directional fluid flow valve includes a stepped piston connected with a poppet valve and moveable by a controller between open and closed positions by applying a continuous pressure to a small diameter piston face and selectively applying and removing pressure from a large diameter piston face to move the poppet valve between an open position and a closed position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 2, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 3, 2021
    Inventors: John Leslie Johnson, James G. Johnson
  • Publication number: 20210025321
    Abstract: A belt-driven attachment system is disclosed. The attachment system includes a mobile power unit with a drive pulley and a power unit interface for connection of an attachment. The attachment includes at least one driven pulley and a first belt guide to maintain the belt aligned with the at least one driven pulley when tension on the belt is released. The attachment also includes an idler pulley and an idler position assembly coupled to the idler pulley. The idler position assembly provides a first position setting for the idler pulley in which tension on the belt is maintained and a second position setting for the idler pulley in which tension on the belt is released. The attachment also includes a second belt guide to maintain the belt aligned with the idler pulley when tension on the belt is released.
