Patent number: 11940295Abstract: A universal mounting system for insulated instruments includes a mounting plate which engages openings in mating parts of a self-supporting insulated enclosure. The plate supports the instrument and the enclosure independently and allows all connections to the interior of the enclosure to be made through the plate. The plate is bent to an L-shape, with one leg supported by a support structure and the other leg supporting the instrument and enclosure. A termination of a traced tubing system is housed in an enclosure mounted to an opposite side of the mounting plate. The mounting plate includes a collar, cutouts in mating sections of the enclosure fitting over the collar to mount the enclosure to the mounting plate. Illustratively, the mounting plate includes a mount plate portion connected to a supporting structure, and an instrument plate mounted to the instrument.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Obcorp, LLCInventors: Marcus C. McCarter, Warren J. Gross

Patent number: 11137089Abstract: Tubing bundle supports comprise body parts clamped around split rotatable sleeves. In one embodiment, spring mounted peripheral shoes and rotatable tubing bundle support sleeves allow metal tubes and tubing bundles to be routed inside a conduit in spaced apart positions and resistant to vibration. In another embodiment, split pillow block sections are clamped around a split rotatable sleeve. In an embodiment, the split pillow block support is held to a strut channel by a strut channel nut.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: OBCORP, LLCInventors: Marcus C.

Patent number: 9461448Abstract: A tool for removing a jacket from a tube or cable comprises a first through-hole extending through a body of the tool tangent to an anvil. A cut head pivotably mounted to the body includes a depression and a cutting blade mounted to extend into the depression a distance less than the expected thickness of the jacket. The cut head may be raised, then lowered onto a jacketed tube or cable inserted into the first through-hole. Rotation of the tool or the tube or cable scores the jacket circumferentially. A hook blade extends into a second hole in the body at a non-radial orientation to the hole, the hook blade being positioned to engage an inner surface of the jacket when the jacketed tube is inserted into the second hole, and to cut a longitudinal slit in the jacket from a free end of the jacket to the circumferential score.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: O'Brien Holding Co., Inc.Inventor: Marcus C.
