  • Piling anchor
    Patent number: 5553978
    Abstract: Expansible anchors, particularly a pivotable anchor for pilings. The anchor is characterized by a backing plate which is secured to the lower exterior portion of the piling. A pivot bracket extends laterally outward of the backing plate to support a pivoting arm and thrust plate. As the piling is being driven, the pivoting arm and thrust plate are pivoted upwardly in substantial alignment with the piling vertical axis. As the piling is driven and set, the pivoting arm and thrust plate are pivoted downwardly to a laterally outward locking mode. The surrounding marine surface then settles upon the thrust plate, locking the piling in place.

  • Exhaust silencer
    Patent number: 4598791
    Abstract: An exhaust silencer for an internal combustion engine, has an inlet, a noise-attenuation chamber containing a noise-attenuation matrix, and an outlet. The noise-attenuation chamber is of rectangular cross-section, and has one transverse dimension which is substantially larger than the other transverse dimension. The noise-attenuation matrix is constituted by a plurality of flat plates made of a material which is heat resistant and corrosion resistant, the plates being placed in spaced parallel relationship.
