Patent number: 11512646Abstract: An air starter for starting a turbine engine that includes a housing, a turbine, an output shaft, and at least one bearing. The housing can define an interior where the turbine couples to the output shaft. A primary air flow path extends through the housing where air from the turbine can be exhausted through a primary outlet or a cooling outlet.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Unison Industries, LLCInventors: Shiloh Montegomery Meyers, Subrata Nayak, Pradeep Hemant Sangli, David Allan Dranschak, Santosh Kumar Prasad, Marc David Zinger, Sharad Pundlik Patil, Harsha Sanjeewa Bulathsinghalage, Sumathi P

Patent number: 10495182Abstract: An apparatus for an air turbine starter for an engine. The air turbine starter includes a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet for communicating a flow of gas there through. A turbine member is journaled within the housing and disposed within the flow path for rotatably extracting mechanical power from the flow of gas and having a turbine output shaft. The air turbine starter further includes a planetary gear system drivingly coupled with the turbine output shaft and including a sun gear, a ring gear mounted to the housing, and a set of planetary gears operably coupling the sun gear and the ring gear with the sun gear is coupled to the turbine output shaft.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Unison Industries, LLCInventors: Subrata Nayak, Ravindra Shankar Ganiger, David Allan Dranschak, Marc David Zinger, Shiloh Montgomery Emerson Meyers, Pallavi Tripathi, Sharad Pundlik Patil, Mark Leslie Rickert, Harsha Sanjeewa Bulathsinghalage, Matthew Keith Murdock
