Patent number: 6155402Abstract: A conveyor system having an infeed conveyor section, an outfeed conveyor section, and a working conveyor section positioned in between and in line with the infeed and outfeed conveyor sections. The working conveyor section includes a base and a frame which is movably mounted relative to the base between a lower position and a raised position. In order to move the frame between its lower and raised position, a driver is rotatably mounted about a substantially horizontal axis to the base while an elongated drive link has one end pivotally connected to the frame and its other end pivotally connected to the driver at a position radially spaced from its axis. A drive mechanism selectively pivots the driver between first and second rotational positions which are spaced substantially 180 degrees from each other. In doing so, the coaction between the driver and the drive link moves the frame between its raised and lowered position.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1998Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignee: Valiant Machine & Tool Inc.Inventor: Patrick M. Murphy

Patent number: 6020918Abstract: An improved apparatus for inspecting and video taping pipelines is provided. A tubular vessel accommodates a video camera. A plurality of scuba lights are adjustably mounted to the periphery of the tubular housing at the front end of the apparatus. A dual-section guide leg is provided which has limited upward and downward movement and limited forward and rearward movement. An elastic member controls the upward/downward and forward/rearward movement of the guide leg to provide a shock absorber system. The guide leg engages the top inside surface of the pipeline as the apparatus is carried down the pipeline by the current. The angle of inclination of the apparatus may be controlled with weights, foam and the position of the guide leg.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1997Date of Patent: February 1, 2000Inventor: Patrick M.
