  • Publication number: 20180283091
    Abstract: A modular roll down airflow control apparatus for use in typically refrigerated and insulated truck or transport vehicle boxes. The modular roll down airflow control apparatus includes a curtain assembly, a mandrel assembly (upon which the curtain assembly may be wound under spring bias), a pair of brackets (coupled to a wall near a ceiling of a truck box or cargo compartment that support the mandrel assembly), locking brackets (coupled to a wall near a floor of a truck box or cargo compartment that hold the curtain assembly down by engaging rods disposed in the curtain at intervals), and a plurality of edging seals (that may be coupled to the side walls of the cargo compartment and the curtain edges press against to form a seal). Air pressure in the cargo box typically acts to advantageously press the curtain edges against the edging seals forming a seal to prevent the escape of cold air and maintain a refrigerated space in the cargo compartment.

  • Patent number: 10016706
    Abstract: A fluid filtering apparatus such as for filtering particulates and other materials from treated water includes a tank and a filtering region configured as a plurality of individual effluent regions, defined in part by channel frames, disposed between a plurality of influent regions interposed between the effluent regions. Filter plates having an opening therethrough covered by a filter media are removable receivable in the channel frames, such that filter media in filter plates in adjacent channel frames is in a facing, opposed, relationship. A double sided backwash shoe is scannable in the influent regions, to simultaneously clean opposed filter media exposed thereto. The backwash shoe is free to move inwardly and outwardly of the opposed filter media. Additionally, the tank may include a second filtering region, which is selectively isolatable from the first filtering region.

  • Patent number: 9988840
    Abstract: A flexible yet durable roll-down curtain is normally stored in a rolled condition, and is unrolled during use. The curtain includes plural, vertically spaced apart rods extending through a width of the curtain. When rolled, the curtain wraps around an elongate, spring-loaded mandrel assembly. The mandrel assembly couples with a pair of mounting brackets mounted at opposing sidewalls of a temperature-controlled compartment. A pair of locking brackets disposed directly opposite one another at opposing sidewalls engage opposing ends of a rod extending through the curtain, to retain the curtain in a deployed position. A flexible side seal provides a sealing engagement vertically along each side edge of the curtain. When deployed, the curtain extends from ceiling to floor, and from sidewall to sidewall, forming a barrier against uncontrolled air movement from a space on either side of the curtain to a space on an opposing side of the curtain.
