  • Patent number: 11833536
    Abstract: A cover for protecting ground-installed structures includes a tube and a flanged portion. The tube defines an opening for receiving the ground-installed structure therein. The tube is formed by a circumferential wall having at least one removable formed therein. Each of the removables is configured to be selectively removed to promote entry of a fluid line or cable into the opening for connection to the ground-installed structure. A flanged portion extends radially outwardly from the tube with the flanged portion including at least one separation feature for changing a perimeter shape of the flanged portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7043187
    Abstract: A method and structure for an image processing apparatus that includes an image bearing surface adapted to receive electrostatically charged toner, a cleaning brush adapted to remove waste particles from the image bearing surface, a detone roller adapted to remove the waste particles from the cleaning brush, and a speed controller adapted to maintain a rotational speed of the cleaning brush above a minimum speed below which the waste particles would not be removed from the image bearing surface and below a maximum speed above which the waste particles would be thrown from the cleaning brush.

  • Patent number: 6690899
    Abstract: A conductive fur brush cleaning assembly for an image processing apparatus. The cleaning assembly has a casing, a plurality of rotating components within the casing and a plurality of sealing devices that divide the casing into a scavenging zone and a detoning zone. The sealing devices prevent airborne marking particles from traveling from the detoning zone into the scavenging zone.

  • Patent number: 6549747
    Abstract: A method and structure for a conductive fur brush cleaner assembly for an image processing apparatus is disclosed. The cleaner assembly includes a plurality of rotating components, an insulated outer cover surrounding the rotating components and a conductive inner cover surrounding the rotating components. The insulated outer cover prevents a charge from being bled from the conductive inner cover. The conductive inner cover accumulates a charge from the waste particles within the cleaner assembly such that the inner cover becomes biased.

  • Patent number: 4163333
    Abstract: A candle box having a solid bottom and back and further including side panels having openings to permit insertion of a candle and to admit air and light therein. A front panel having a transparent member with designs imprinted thereon completes the enclosure. A reflective surface mounted to the back member behind the transparent member reflects a candle placed within the box as well as reflecting the design imprinted upon the transparent front member and light admitted from the sides and top. The candle, the design and reflection can all be seen.
