  • Nitrogen Blanketing System
    Publication number: 20180335180
    Abstract: A nitrogen blanket system for small fuel tanks is disclosed that includes tank empty-space pressure control for sealed tanks that can hold pressure. The system includes a fuel tank storing some volume of fuel, such as diesel fuel. The remaining empty volume is filled with nitrogen by the disclosed system. The nitrogen blankets the liquid fuel and fills the remaining space in the fuel tank to prevent the accumulation of moisture and thereby prevent corrosion within the fuel tank.

  • Folding device for heavy curtains
    Patent number: 4762361
    Abstract: A curtain-sided vehicle in which there is a multiple panel curtain suspended from rollers engaging a rail along the roof of the curtain-sided vehicle. On each end of the curtain is attached a sliding door structure which also has rollers engaging the rail running along the roof. Hooks on the bottom of the sliding doors and the curtain slidably engage the platform of the vehicle. The curtain is pleated when one of the doors is slid open to gain access to the cargo area of the vehicle. To aid in pleating the curtain, biased hinge devices, located in each panel, bias the curtain away from the cargo area and facilitate accurate and compact pleating of the curtain.
