  • Patent number: 7108794
    Abstract: A method of conveying and purifying fluids including stormwater by passing fluid through an assemblage of tires fastened together by physical and chemical means, and an apparatus for carrying out the same method, are disclosed. The apparatus according to the invention comprises a series of axially aligned used tires help together by adhesive and metal or plastic bands. Organic or inorganic filters at each end of the assemblage serve to further purify the fluid and reduce the possibility of insect breeding within the filter.

  • Patent number: 5641069
    Abstract: A process and apparatus are presented for mixed recyclable separation, storage and debris removal via gravitational and vibrational forces, three dimensional screening, negative sortation and positive ergonomically designed human sortation.Mixed recyclables placed within a tube are propelled upward for ergonomically advantageous manual sortation. Material not removed by the first sorter is negatively sorted onto vibrating parallel bars. Desirable materials pass through the bars into a vibrating concave funnel shaped screen. Dirt, debris and any materials smaller in size than the smallest desired recyclable are removed by vibrational and gravitational forces within the three dimensional screen. This results in removal of dirt and debris by outward movement through vertically and horizontally oriented screen voids, in contrast to existing systems in which two dimensional, horizontally mounted screens are employed.
