20150176243 | AIR DIVERTER FOR A VACUUM EXCAVATOR - An air diverter system for a vacuum excavator is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the system includes a bag house in communication with a debris tank. In addition, the system includes a filter housing secured to a side of the bag house and a valve housing interposed between the bag house and the filter housing. A valve member is mounted within the valve housing and is configured to rotate about an axis to define at least two different passageways for an air flow. The system also includes a selector for rotating the valve member and selectively aligning the passageway for the airflow between a vacuum pump inlet and either the filter housing or the bag house. | 06-25-2015 |
20150102184 | FOLDING HOSE STORAGE RACK - A folding hose storage rack is disclosed. The rack includes two spaced apart support members with each support member having a vertical member configured to rotate about a vertical axis, an upper arm extending outward from the vertical member, a lower arm extending outward from the vertical member, where the lower arm is aligned under the upper arm, and a boss along a lower edge of the lower arm. In addition, the rack includes a retainer having intersecting slots such that each slot is configured to receive the boss to prevent the support member from rotating. Each support member is configured to lift up to remove the boss from the intersecting slots, rotate to a desired position, and lower down to insert the boss into a desired slot of the intersecting slots. The intersecting slots form a T-configuration to rotate and secure each supporting arm to either side. | 04-16-2015 |
20140020268 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO EXCAVATE USING PNEUMATIC SHOCK WAVE - A system and method to excavate using a pneumatic shock wave is disclosed. The system includes a supply of pressurized fluid, a suction wand, and an air line in communication with the supply of pressurized fluid. A portion of the air line is integrated within the suction wand. The system also includes a dump valve interposed between the supply of pressurized fluid and the portion of the air line integrated within the suction wand. The dump valve is configured to rapidly discharge a pulse of the pressurized fluid out an open end of the air line to generate a shock wave at a distal end of the suction wand to fracture and dislodge soil so that the suction wand can excavate the soil. | 01-23-2014 |
