Patent number: 11014333Abstract: A method for assembling a reinforced non-compressible pipe support by inserting a plurality of generally cylindrical holes in a first sheet of insulation in a pre-determined pattern, inserting a similar group of holes in at least a second sheet of insulation so that the holes of both sheets line up when the first sheet is placed against a pre-determined cylindrical or flat form and the second sheet is placed on top of the first sheet thereby forming contiguous voids where mating holes are positioned adjacent each other, applying a pressurized flowable material to fill each void along its longitudinal axis, and curing the material until it forms a hardened material thereby forming the plurality of sheets into a non-compressible arcuate body having an inner radius of curvature that fits against a pipe or into a rectilinear block. Multiples sheets may be adhered and thermoplastic or resin used to fuse them together.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Rilco Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth L. Zagorski, Joseph A. Donoghue, Mike Bock

Patent number: 10962164Abstract: A pipe anchor is disclosed having a pipe trunnion stop for attaching to an outer surface of a pipe by welding. A mating top cradle and a bottom cradle generally encircle and hold a length of the pipe. The bottom cradle has a pass-through to accommodate the pipe trunnion stop. There is a base onto which the bottom cradle sets, the base includes a void into which the pipe trunnion stop is secured. An insulation layer is positioned between the pipe and the top cradle and bottom cradle, and around the pipe trunnion stop. A bolting assembly on the top cradle and a mating bolting assembly on the bottom cradle secure the top cradle and the bottom cradle to each other. Another embodiment includes multiple pipe trunnion stops along with respective pass-through and base void sections.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Rilco Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth L.

Patent number: 10252490Abstract: A reinforced insulation material having one or more sheets of insulation material having a plurality of voids in each sheet, wherein the sheets are operably connected to each other in a layered configuration, the voids mate to each other to create cylindrical or rectilinear pathways for insertion of adhesive or synthetic material to adhere the sheets into a layered or sandwiched configuration. The voids may be a variety of shapes including circles, squares, rectangles or other suitable shapes that upon formation of the layered sheets line up to permit insertion of material or dowels to create a reinforced assembly. The layers may be formed into a variety of shapes including a semicircular shape to go around a pipe, or a block of material. The finished assembly withstands compressive forces and provides insulation when in place around pipes or under tanks.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Rilco Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth L.

Patent number: 9855928Abstract: Push On and Pull Off Schrader and Presta Valve Air Filler Pump Head is disclosed. By using a simple sliding motion and a complete redesign on how the nozzle engages the valve, the invention takes into account the natural action of a hand performing the action where the fingers would naturally be especially in a tight space like that of one that could be encountered between spokes. The invention also takes advantage of dominant muscle groups in the hand and fingers to make the motion of valve engagement and disengagement easier.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Inventors: Clifford Currie, Joseph Donoghue, Murray Learmonth, Shi-ze Liu
