Patent number: 12228356Abstract: A grit blasting arrangement for cleaning chemical reactor tubes includes means for ensuring the grit blast nozzle is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the tube to be cleaned. The grit blasting device for cleaning tubes spaced apart by upper and lower tubesheets. The grit blasting device includes a grit blast nozzle mounted on a positioning frame and projecting outwardly with an outlet directed into a tube opening during a cleaning operation. The device includes a plurality of stop pins mounted on the positioning frame designed to abut a tubesheet and to define an imaginary plane coplanar with the tubesheet. The plurality of stop pins when abutting the tubesheet prevent the outlet of the nozzle from extending into the tube causing a venturi effect.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Tubemaster, Inc.Inventors: Clifford L Johns, Dennis Patrick McAndrews, Stephen W Brewer

Patent number: 11027183Abstract: A climbing structure includes a support frame and a wall assembly. The wall assembly comprises a chain arranged as a loop with an array of climbing panels attached to the chain so as to maintain a configuration that rotates the climbing panels downward as the user climbs to achieve a continuous climbing experience. A lower shaft assembly includes a shaft that rotates based on an angle of the wall assembly. A sprocket is mounted to the shaft such that the shaft and the sprocket rotate independently to maintain tension on the chain as the climbing panels rotate downward. A cable hub assembly is rigidly attached to the shaft and secures a cable that is attached to the support frame. A disc braking system includes a disc rigidly attached to the shaft and a caliper mounted on bearing bolts such that the disc braking system fixes the angle of the wall assembly without affecting the continuous climbing experience.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Brewers Ledge Inc.Inventors: George W. Brewer, W. Conant Brewer
