  • Patent number: 5038523
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a rotary disk tool which utilizes pressurized water as the working fluid. When an operator engages a trigger on a novel control handle and valve assembly, pressurized seawater enters the rotary disk tool through the control handle and valve assembly into a seawater powered vane motor. The shaft of the seawater powered vane motor, is coupled to a drive gear. The drive gear, in turn, is in operative engagement with a driven pinion coupled to an output shaft which drives an abrasive disk. Seawater exhausted from the motor into a gear and pinion housing provides lubrication for the drive gear, driven pinion, and the bearings used with the gear and pinion. The seawater is then exhausted from the housing as a fan spray directed onto the back of the abrasive disk so as to reduce drag of the disk in water and to flush away loose material from the work surface.

  • Patent number: 4977966
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a rotary impact tool which utilizes pressurized eawater as the working fluid. When an operator engages a trigger on a novel control handle and valve assembly, pressurized seawater enters the rotary impact tool through the control handle and valve assembly and a reversing valve into a seawater powered vane motor. The shaft of the seawater powered motor, is coupled to a twin hammer impact mechanism by a novel coupling assembly with rotation of the vane motor driving the impact mechanism which translates vane motor power into impact torque. The impact mechanism is, in turn, sealed within a cavity in the front portion of the housing of rotary impact tool with lubrication and cooling of the impact mechanism being provided by a water soluble oil based lubricant which fills the cavity.

  • Patent number: 4953295
    Abstract: A seawater powered band saw having a rigid frame or housing, a control handle and valve assembly having a trigger which when engaged by an operator delivers pressurized seawater to a seawater powered vane motor, a novel seawater lubricated spur and pinion gear drive arrangment connecting the vane motor in a driving relationship to a band saw drive wheel, an idler take-up assembly to tension the saw blade and facilitate the changing of saw blades and a safety guard assembly to protect the blade when the band saw is non-operational and protect the operator when the band saw is operational.
