Thomas Krugerke has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7288223
    Abstract: A method and apparatus in which a granular adsorbent, absorbent, chemisorptive, or catalytic material, particularly activated carbon is intermixed with (a) meltable polymer(s), and that the resulting mixture is heated under pressure and pressed into a molded piece (2). We propose to heat the mixture under pressure in a connecting part for a respirator or fan filter unit or in a connecting part (1) for an adapter for a respirator or fan filter unit, thereby positively and/or non-positively compacting it with said connecting part, and to make the connection between said connecting part (1) and said compacted mixture gastight.

  • Patent number: 6953318
    Abstract: The invention relates to a volumetric control for blower filter devices in which a control unit (5) determines a differential pressure between measuring points (1, 2) that is converted into a control signal for the fan output. To this end, at least two measuring points (1, 2) are arranged in the airflow behind the fan impeller (3) and in front of the consumer, in particular, the breathing hood (4). The measuring points (1, 2) can be located in the airflow inside the case filter device behind the impeller wheel (3) and in front of the outlet of the blower filter device or one measuring point is placed in the airflow inside the housing of the case filter device behind the impeller wheel (3) and one is placed in the vicinity of the connection of the breathing hood (4) or both measuring points are located in the breathing hose (8).

  • Patent number: 6429165
    Abstract: A polymer-bonded granular adsorptive, absorptive, chemisorptive, or catalytically active material and a process for producing molded bodies from this material. An objective was to develop a polymer-bonded granular adsorptive, absorptive, chemisorptive, or catalytically active material which is capable of forming an open-pore and sorptive foamed body at increased temperatures while not reducing the specific surface of the active material and with a binding effect only during the mixing and processing phases, as well as a process for producing molded bodies from this material. This objective was met by mixing and processing an adsorptive, absorptive, chemisorptive, or catalytically active fine-grained material together with a finely particulate, meltable polyethylene with the addition of a binding agent having an oligocondensate basis.
