Publication number: 20220349395Abstract: The present invention provides a downhole suction rod pump assembly for use in pumping formation fluid from an oil well, and more specifically, provides a rotor operable to generate a vortex in a pump barrel without imparting torque to the plunger. The improvements to a suction rod pump assembly may be incorporated into any oil well pumping system having a linear rod and or rod string. The rotor vortex displaces formation fluid above a plunger assembly, thereby preventing heavier debris in the formation fluid from settling or lodging between a plunger and barrel boundary, thus extending the practical life of the pump.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2021Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventor: Jerry Mark Snow

Patent number: 6557792Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for storing and handling holiday light strings such as icicle lights. The device in accordance with the invention includes a vertically disposed rotatable spindle. The icicle light string can be conveniently wound on the spindle by rotating the spindle in the direction of winding. The device allows for ease of storage and handling of such light strings without any substantial tangling of the strings. When it is desired to mount the lights after a period of storage, the light strings can be readily unwound from the rotatable spindle and directly mounted at desired locations.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2001Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Inventor: Mark Snow
