  • Patent number: 10609946
    Abstract: A system for liquid treatment of items in a container, includes a first conveyor; a second conveyor separated from the first conveyor and at approximately the same elevation as the first conveyor; a tank positioned between the first and the second conveyors, wherein a top opening of the tank is lower in elevation than the first or second conveyors; and a cradle section positioned between the first and second conveyors, wherein the cradle section includes a cradle having a third conveyor at a lower section and a lever connected to the cradle to lift the cradle to an elevation where the third conveyor is approximately at the elevation of the first and second conveyors and to lower the cradle into the tank.

  • Patent number: 9980558
    Abstract: A mounting assembly 100 for mounting a roller brush 12 onto a cleaning apparatus includes a mounting flange 102 and an end cap 104 interconnected together by extension springs 176 spanning therebetween. An idle shaft 106 is slidably mounted in the mounting flange 102 by a bearing interface 108. The distal end of the idle shaft 106 is fixed to the end cap 104 so that the springs 176 that urge the end cap 104 into engagement with the mounting flange 102 also bias the idle shaft to extend forwardly of the mounting flange while also permitting the idle shaft to retract to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the roller brush with the mounting assembly 100. The bearing interface 108 is designed to permit the projecting proximal end of the idle shaft to tilt upwardly to facilitate engagement with and disengagement from the roller brush 12.
