  • Publication number: 20220296035
    Abstract: A sugar cone toasting assembly includes a spike that has a pointed end to penetrate ground near an open flame. A rod is removably attachable to the spike and a barrier is removably attachable to the rod. In this way the barrier can be elevated above the ground when the rod is attached to the spike and the spike is inserted into the ground. A plurality of holders is each disposed on the barrier and each of the holders extends over the open flame when the spike is inserted into the ground. Each of the holders has a curved portion forming a circle to receive a pointed end of a sugar cone thereby facilitating the sugar cone to be toasted by the open flame.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a modular crash attenuator system including an array of attenuator segment pair assemblies. Each attenuator segment pair assembly includes a first attenuator segment and a second attenuator segment, a tensioning assembly configured to removably couple the first attenuator segment adjacent to the second attenuator segment, and a coupling assembly configured to removably couple the attenuator segment pair assembly to at least one other attenuator segment pair assembly. The crash attenuator system additionally includes a barrier attachment assembly disposed at a first end of the array and coupled to at least one attenuator segment pair and an end cap assembly disposed at a second end of the array, the second end being opposite the first end.

  • Patent number: 11427977
    Abstract: Barricade systems are provided. A barricade system includes a first handle recess, a first channel extending to the first handle recess, a first handle portion including a first handle and a first handle post, and a first leg portion including a first leg and a first leg post. The first handle extends perpendicularly from one end of the first handle post. The first leg extends perpendicularly from one end of the first leg post. The first handle post and the first leg post are rotatably connected to each other. The rotatably connected first handle post and first leg post are disposed within the first channel. The barricade system switches between a stowed state and a deployed state by rotating the first handle post 180 degree. The 180 degree rotation of the first handle post facilitates a 90 degree rotation of the first leg post.

  • Publication number: 20220099185
    Abstract: A pressure retained gasket seal provides enhanced resistance to hydraulic unloading by including a notch formed in a rear face of the gasket groove, thereby reducing intrusion of process fluid behind the gasket and improving hydraulic retention of the gasket seal. Embodiments increase the process fluid pressure limit of the gasket seal by a factor of two or three compared to gasket seals of the prior art. In embodiments, the gasket groove has a dovetail cross-section, thereby increasing resistance to process fluid pressure by requiring compression of the gasket before it can be dislodged from the groove. Embodiments form the gasket from flexible graphite, which can be initially shaped as an annulus and then forced by an applied load into the gasket groove in conformance with the notch. Embodiments include compressing the graphite to within 50% or even 70% of its maximum density during installation thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220049771
    Abstract: A high temperature secondary seal between a rotating seal face adaptor sleeve and a rotating shaft does not consume additional axial space beyond the axial space occupied by the secondary seal. The seal includes a single ring drive collar comprising a plurality of radial directed bolts in tapped holes. As the bolts are tightened they enter a cylindrical cavity in the drive collar and impact therein a sloped surface of a crush ring. The vertical force thereby applied to the crush ring displaces the crush ring axially into a secondary graphite sealing element, thereby crushing the secondary sealing element against the adaptor sleeve and shaft, and forming a seal there between. The crush ring sloped surface can terminate in a vertical face, so that upon sufficient displacement of the crush ring the bolts abut the vertical face and impact the shaft, fixing the drive collar to the shaft.
