Publication number: 20180003011Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus of the present invention generally include a filtration assembly having a louvered shroud circumferentially positioned around a perforated inner pipe, such that at least a substantial portion of the shroud's inner surface contacts and frictionally engages the outer surface of the inner pipe. Embodiments of a method of the present invention generally include spirally wrapping a substantially flat strip of louvered material around the inner pipe, wherein adjoining edges of the louvered material abut and are at least partially welded together, to provide the shrouded pipe. Other method embodiments generally include an inner pipe having a louvered shroud positioned there around being introduced to a device operable to, dynamically or statically, radially compress the shroud such that at least a substantial portion of the shroud's inner surface contacts and frictionally engages at least a substantial portion of the outer surface of the inner pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2017Publication date: January 4, 2018Applicant: Delta Screen & Filtration, LLCInventors: Donald H. Michel, Steven Mark Everritt

Patent number: 9757813Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing wire wrapped screens utilizing a wire and support ribs is provided. The apparatus employs welding pressure control, utilizing a welding device mounted on a support assembly, wherein the support assembly is moveable in relation to a mounting structure and the wire and support rib weld pieces. Welding pressure is determined by a force measurement device, and a control and feedback system adjusts pressure. Mechanical actuator cylinders mounted on the support assembly and the mounting structure provide load balance. A method for making wire wrapped screens is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2014Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Delta Screen & Filtration, LLCInventors: Steven Mark Everritt, Carl Cooper, Art Parmely, Richard Grifno

Publication number: 20170204682Abstract: Embodiments of a jumper tube connection assembly generally include a retention clip having beveled and locking surfaces, a retention clip frame, and a biasing means, wherein the clip is restrained partially within the frame and is pivotable in response to a jumper connector contacting the beveled surface during shunt tube engagement therewith, and wherein the biasing means positions the locking surface to prevent jumper connector reverse movement. Other embodiments generally include a retention clip having a locking component, a retention clip support, and a biasing means, wherein the clip is restrained partially within the support and is pivotable in response to force biasing the locking component away from a shunt tube during jumper connector engagement therewith, wherein upon force cessation the biasing means positions the locking component in engagement with a jumper connector orifice, thereby preventing disengagement thereof from the shunt tube. Methods of utilizing the embodiments are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2017Publication date: July 20, 2017Applicant: Delta Screen & Filtration, LLCInventors: Stephen Ward, Steven Mark Everritt, Steven Camp, Vijay Rajkumar

Publication number: 20160356098Abstract: Embodiments of a jumper tube connector assembly generally include a jumper tube, one or more fasteners affixed to and biased toward the exterior thereof, and two connectors slideable thereon, wherein each fastener is biased against a connector exterior, whereby upon slidably engaging each connector with a shunt tube, biases cease and a fastener end surface prevents connector backsliding. Embodiments of a jumper tube connection assembly generally include a retention clip having a locking surface, or a pin-locking retention clip having a pin, wherein the retention clip/pin-locking retention clip is affixed to a shunt tube, wherein upon slidably engaging a connector therewith, reverse axial connector movement is prevented by the locking surface/pin. Embodiments of a leak-off tube retention system generally include a leak-off tube having one or more spring-loaded buttons and adapted to releasably engage upper and lower retainer fittings via orifices therein. Methods of using these embodiments are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2016Publication date: December 8, 2016Applicant: Delta Screen & Filtration, LLCInventors: Stephen Ward, Steven Mark Everritt, Steven Camp
