  • Patent number: 4950392
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing contaminates from caustic washing solution used in jet washers and the like such that the washing solution can be used for extended periods without replacement or disposal. The apparatus includes a filtration tank adapted to be connected to a tank of a jet washer for receiving caustic washing solution. The filteration tank houses a filter bag, and a pump is disposed in the filtration tank. The pump forces caustic washing solution through the filtration bag, to provide for removal of oil and grease from the washing solution, and also pumps washing solution into the tank of the jet washer to thereby cause flow of washing solution between the tank of the jet washer and the filtration tank.

  • Patent number: 4803783
    Abstract: An apparatus for gauging the diameter and concentricity of a bore in a workpiece, the bore having an inner surface, the apparatus comprising a base, a first surface engaging member supported by the base for movement along an axis and relative to a reference point, a selectively adjustable second surface engaging member supported by the base for movement along the axis, the second surface engaging member and the reference point defining the diameter of a circle, a third surface engaging member movably supported by the base and located on the circle, the third surface engaging member moving in response to movement of the second surface engaging member to maintain location of the third surface engaging member on the circle, the first, second, and third surface engaging members being adapted to be housed in the bore and to engage the inner surface of the bore, and the first surface engaging member being biased away from the second surface engaging member and against the inner surface of the bore, and a gauge for
