  • Publication number: 20230193650
    Abstract: A deployable shelter having an inflatable frame arrangement over which is disposed a flexible, the shelter having a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration, which in the deployed configuration the inflatable frame has at least two arched frame members, at least one elongate upper frame member linking together the arched members and two elongate side members, each linking the leg portions of the arched members, the elongate side members connected to the leg portions of the arched frame members so as not to be in contact with the ground or base sheet, in use, and defining, on each leg portion, a foot projection configured to make contact with the ground or base sheet. The deployable shelter is portable and rapidly deployable through inflation of an inflatable frame, of being configured to minimize contact of inflatable elements with the ground.

  • Patent number: 10974894
    Abstract: A manway gate assembly couples to a tank and provides a liquid tight seal. The manway gate assembly includes a gate selectively slideable in a first linear direction between an open position, a closed position, and/or an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position. The manway gate assembly includes one or more locking members arranged adjacent to the gate and moveable between a locked position and an un-locked position. When in the locked position, the one or more locking members apply a biasing force to the gate in a second linear direction perpendicular to the first linear direction to seal the gate to the tank and provide a liquid tight seal.

  • Publication number: 20190177081
    Abstract: A manway gate assembly couples to a tank and provides a liquid tight seal. The manway gate assembly includes a gate selectively slideable in a first linear direction between an open position, a closed position, and/or an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position. The manway gate assembly includes one or more locking members arranged adjacent to the gate and moveable between a locked position and an un-locked position. When in the locked position, the one or more locking members apply a biasing force to the gate in a second linear direction perpendicular to the first linear direction to seal the gate to the tank and provide a liquid tight seal.
