Publication number: 20250303451Abstract: A conveyor belt cleaning system is configured with waterproofing techniques throughout its entire body to prevent liquid from entering liquid-sensitive portions of the cleaning system, thereby reducing machine downtime or destruction. The conveyor belt cleaning system has a touchscreen control panel (i.e., a computing device) that controls the modular cleaning system's operations and one or more actuators that facilitate directional movement of the modular cleaning head. The control panel is comprised of the display, such as a touchscreen display, and the various computer-related components that effectuate the computer's operations, such as one or more processors (CPUs, GPUs, etc.), long and short-term hardware-based memory devices such as Flash memory, ROM (Read-Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), etc., network interface cards (NICs) for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and other wired and wireless forms of communications, among other operational components.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2025Publication date: October 2, 2025Applicant: Crossford International, LLCInventors: Gregory Wyatt, Timothy J. Kane, Evan Reyes, Russell Barnes, Robert Folchi

Publication number: 20230322498Abstract: A dynamic, reconfigurable, and modular cleaning device utilizes software, sensors, and modular components to provide a one-size-fits-all approach to cleaning conveyor belts. The cleaning device secures to a body or frame associated with a conveyor belt, in which an associated cleaning head cleans the conveyor belt's surface. The cleaning head has an arm that extends from its body and inserts into a corresponding opening on a connecting frame associated with the cleaning device. The cleaning head is then secured in place via a cylindrical pin that extends through aligned holes on the arm and the connecting plate. Insertion of the pin connects the components together, and removal of the pin enables a user to disconnect the cleaning head and swap a new one in its place, such as to provide a different cleaning action.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Timothy J.

Publication number: 20230180909Abstract: A comb shaped applicator nozzle used to dispense product from an aerosol canister or other similar standard dispenser to the hair or scalp of a user in a clean and efficient manner. The applicator nozzle includes a hollow base, a plurality of hollow tines extending from the base, and a stem also extending from the base. The stem has a tapered internal passageway which fits over a standard tapered dispensing nozzle. The taper of the stem passageway matches the taper of the standard dispensing nozzle. The friction between the two matching tapered surfaces causes the applicator nozzle to stay held in place when it is situated on the dispensing nozzle. When product is dispensed from the dispensing nozzle, it travels through internal fluid communication passageways of the hollow stem, hollow base, and hollow tines. The product exits through an orifice at the end of each tine and is deposited in thin streams onto the user's scalp or hair.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventor: Robert Folchi

Patent number: 11565888Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for an endless conveyor belt is provided. The cleaning apparatus is operable for a rotary cleaning head to perform a cleaning action on a first section of the endless conveyor belt. In an embodiment of the present invention, the rotary cleaning head comprises a rotating disc assembly. The rotary cleaning assembly is operable for a mobile mount to position the rotary cleaning head into a first cleaning contact position with the endless conveyor belt. To affix the rotary cleaning head assembly to a mount, a connecting portion having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end includes a first coupling is provided. Said coupling is capable of making a connection to and disconnecting from the mobile mount, and said distal end capable of making a connection and disconnecting from the rotary cleaning head and adapted for use with the rotary cleaning head.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2022Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Crossford International, LLCInventors: Timothy J.
