  • Publication number: 20230389787
    Abstract: Endoscope or camera cleaning device having a jaw extending away from a tube. Sheath extends away from the tube. Sheath has sidewalls corresponding to another portion of the circumference of the tube and the sidewalls of the sheath and the sidewalls of the jaw being biased towards each other through at least one elastic member. Slider is coupled to the jaw and operable to translate with respect to the jaw. Wiper blade is coupled to the slider. Wiper blade has a lower edge that extends away from the jaw and extends beyond a centerline with respect to the tube. Wiper blade is operable to be engaged by a camera traversing through the attachment tube. Wiper blade crosses the centerline and allows the camera to pass beyond the wiper, which is operable to remove fluids and/or substances from the endoscope or camera.

  • Publication number: 20100044061
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for installing utility lines underground by using a vibratory plow. One aspect of the invention relates to using a resilient member attached to a vibrator assembly, where the resilient member stores the kinetic energy of the vibrator assembly downward movement. The kinetic energy is then released during the upward movement. The energy is applied to a plow blade so as to improve the efficiency of the plow blade as it is drawn through the ground. Another aspect of the invention relates to connecting the resilient member to the ground via a set of wheels that do not appreciably deflect during the downward movement.
