  • Method and apparatus for creating rubber crumb from vehicle tires
    Patent number: 6601788
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for creating rubber crumb from rubber vehicle tires. The method provides for the soaking of a vehicle tire in a solvent, removal of the tire from the solvent, movement of the tire by a conveyor to an apparatus that applies physical pressure to the tire, while situated upon a circular screen which allows the physical pressure applied to fragment the tire into its component parts, pressing the rubber components through the screen with any remaining liquid and allowing the non rubber components to be removed for recycling purposes or to be discarded. The apparatus applies physical pressure to separate the rubber and non rubber components from one another.

  • Method and article for use in building construction
    Patent number: 4250670
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of building construction wherein the structural support for the roof of the building is encased in a layer of rigid foam to provide structural support for the roof. The method also contemplates utilizing one or more channel shaped structural members and filling the channel with rigid foam for the purpose of increasing its strength. The method also contemplates providing multiple roof supports and placing a layer of rigid foam between the supports for further structural support. Manifestly, the foregoing method is accomplished through use of a novel form of structural support comprising a channel shaped structural member filled with rigid foam. Two channel members may be placed in face to face or back to back relationship and filled with rigid foam where additional structural support is required.The present invention also encompasses a novel roof structure wherein the aforedescribed structural supports are formed as an integral part of the roof.
