  • Patent number: 10894709
    Abstract: Provided is a mobile fluid pumping system which may include a reservoir and, a pump actuated by a reversible motor. In the first configuration, the reversible motor is operated in a first direction causing a fluid to flow in a first direction and operated in a second direction causing fluid to flow in a second direction thereby providing means to fill a reservoir and then transfer fluid from the reservoir to a vessel or tank. The fluid delivery device provides means to substantially evacuate fluid from any connectors in the system thereby avoiding problems otherwise associated with remaining fluid that may freeze. Further, the device is designed to provide a closed load and unload system meeting ISO 022241.

  • Patent number: 10821873
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a multi-featured trailer designed with transporting hazardous material in mind. The trailer design allows a driver without a hazardous materials transport license or commercial driver's license to legally transport the trailer when it contains hazardous material. It includes a unique hand-rail and bracket system designed to allow the trailer to employ standard sized rails which provides structural support and economic advantage. Further, the inventive trailer features means to accommodate several different tanks together or alone, comprising different capacities and sloped bottoms, in addition to tools and/or machines while employing the same frame, axles and wheels. Employing the inventive design further allows each tank trailer to be “assembled to order” providing a significant manufacturing advantage.

  • Publication number: 20180229993
    Abstract: This invention pertains to the field of fuel storage and transport and, more particularly, to an assembly employed to transport at least two different fluids, comprising means to heat and maintain the temperature of at least one of the fluids, independently of the temperature of the other fluid. The assembly may include a container for each of the different fluids, and means to heat may include an active heater or simply employ heat provided by operation of an associated motor, combined with a conduit positioned along a surface of one of the containers. The assembly further comprises means to load and to off-load each fluid, separately.

  • Publication number: 20140338757
    Abstract: Disclosed is an actuator that may include a handle, a telescoping assembly connected to the handle, and a cable. In example embodiments, the telescoping assembly may include a sleeve, a sliding member configured to move along the sleeve, and a movable stop. In example embodiments, when the movable stop is in a first position the movable stop may prevent the sliding member from moving beyond a first point in the sleeve and when the movable stop is in a second position the movable stop may allow the sliding member to move beyond the first point in the sleeve. In example embodiments, the cable may be attached to the telescoping assembly and the cable may be configured to operatively move the movable stop.

  • Patent number: 7971841
    Abstract: A motorcycle saddlebag hanger is described which includes a vertically disposed support which is secured to a wall or which may be free standing. The hanger includes two identical structures formed thereon for supporting a pair of motorcycle saddlebags when the saddlebags have been removed from a motorcycle. The saddlebags are secured to the hanger utilizing the hardware which normally secures the motorcycle saddlebags to the motorcycle. The hanger may also be free standing. Further, the hanger may be a two-component hanger so that the saddlebags may be positioned in either a vertically spaced-apart manner or in a horizontally spaced-apart manner.
