Abstract: A rake system and method may include a framework, a chain, an elongated rail, a support arm, and an engagement feature. The elongated rail may be pivotably connected to the framework. The support arm may be connected to the elongated rail at a first point and may be pivotably connected to the framework at a second point. The engagement feature may be connected to the support arm and may be configured to engage the chain. The rake system may be configured to discard debris.

Abstract: A logic that is used in water bar screen assemblies to control the flow of water through the assembly and to methods.

Abstract: A method may include providing a rake system with a framework, a chain having a plurality of skimmers, an elongated rail, a first support arm, a second support arm, a first guide device, a second guide device, and/or a screen, rotating the chain, receiving debris between the chain and the screen, and/or moving the debris along the screen, via a skimmer of the plurality of skimmers, to discard the debris.

Abstract: Rake systems for cleaning water streams and new and novel components for such rake systems.

Abstract: Novel chain links that are used in combination with essentially identical chain links to form a chain that is useful in flex rake apparati for use in cleaning water streams.

Abstract: Rotary screens used in rotary screening devices for cleaning water in which the prior art trunnion wheels on current state of the art rotary screening devices are substituted by a rocker shoe and a bearing on the rotary screen running on the rocker shoe.

Abstract: An autonomous, no touch, automobile wash assembly useful in home garages for washing automobiles. The device can operate over predetermined periods of time to completely wash an automobile without any person having to do any manual labor.

Abstract: A lift station maintenance device having as its essential features, a circular housing constructed from bars, interleaving self-centering augers for lifting flushable wipes through the system, spring snap options for retaining the bar in slots in top and base plates, and capability to remove large flushable wipes or equivalent materials from liquid sewage systems without clogging. Also disclosed is a lift station maintenance system.

Abstract: A single flight screw, a single flight high pressure screw pump and the use of the pump in a compactor for compacting and dewatering debris commonly found in waste water. The bore, screw diameter and the flight spacing are constant and the compression force is mostly axial. The work is done at the very end of the screw.

Abstract: A compactor for compacting and dewatering debris comprises a housing having an inlet for enabling debris to be delivered to forwarding augers which forward the debris to a compaction chamber at the discharge end of the housing. The chamber has an outlet opening of less cross-sectional area than that of the chamber, thereby ensuring compaction of the debris as it moves toward discharge. Debris enroute to discharge may be sprayed with water to remove sludge-like substances which otherwise would cling to some types of debris.

Abstract: A spirit leveling attachment for a power tool which is universally adjustable relative to the tool so as to enable the tool to be located in anyone of a number of selected positions of angularity and maintained in such position by visual reference to the spirit level. A magnetized support member having a partly spherical recess is mounted on the tool. The spirit level is formed with a partly spherical body member which is accommodated in the recess of the magnetized support member, enabling the body member to be magnetically retained in the recess in selected positions of adjustment relative to the support member.
