  • Multiple orientation pool skimming net with three-point leveraging configurations
    Patent number: 9528288
    Abstract: An improved pool skimming net apparatus has a net member including a frame and a net held by the frame. The frame has parallel elongated top and bottom frame portions, an elongated handle member pivotally attached to the top frame portion by an articulated joint member, an elongated retainer member pivotally attached to the top frame portion at a distance from the articulated joint member, a handle clamp member attached to a distal end of the retainer member and adapted to releasably hold a portion of the handle member, and a secondary handle clamp member fixedly attached to the top frame portion at a distance from the articulated joint member and adapted to releasably hold a portion of the handle member, such that when the handle member is held by the handle clamp member an acute angle is formed between the handle member and the top frame portion.

  • Suspension for the pivoting vane actuation mechanism of a variable nozzle turbocharger
    Patent number: 4804316
    Abstract: An improved suspension for a pivoting vane actuation mechanism is incorporated into a variable nozzle turbicharger in order to prevent vane binding. The mechanism includes a plurality of rotatable vanes mounted to a nozzle ring and a means for rotating the plurality of vanes. The nozzle ring and the means for rotating are coupled together so that thermal growth does not cause misalignment of the two.

  • Gas seal vanes of variable nozzle turbine
    Patent number: 4659295
    Abstract: A turbocharger having a variable nozzle vane assembly to be used in association with an engine. A nozzle ring having a plurality of rotatable vanes mounted thereto defining an annular passageway within the turbine housing through which exhaust gas passes upstream of a turbine. Included is a means for rotating the plurality of vanes and a means for preventing binding of the components during thermal cycling.
