20100154661SELF-ADJUSTING STRIPPER PIN FOR STRAPPING MACHINE STRAP CHUTE - A self-adjusting stripper pin is for use in a strap chute for a strapping machine and includes a mount mounted to a fixed portion of the strapping machine, a reciprocating pin disposed in the mount for reciprocating movement relative to the mount and a pin spring disposed between the pin and the mount for biasedly mounting the pin to the mount. When the movable wall of the strapping machine is moved toward the fixed wall of the strapping machine, the pin moves out from the track to allow the strap to traverse therethrough and when the movable wall is moved away from the fixed wall, the pin is moved into the track to urge the strap out of the track. The spring positions the pin at about an outer edge of the track when the movable wall is moved away from the fixed wall.06-24-2010
20100308150ANTI-ROTATION SYSTEM FOR STRAP DISPENSER OUTER FLANGE - An anti-rotation system that prevents undesired rotation of an outer flange of a strap dispenser includes an anti-rotation element mounted to a shaft of the dispenser and the outer flange mounted to the anti-rotation element. The anti-rotation element and the outer flange have complementary mating surfaces such that when the shaft, on which the coil rotates, ceases rotation, the anti-rotation element, engaged with the outer flange, ceases rotation of the outer flange; thus, inertia of the coil cannot force the outer flange to rotate undesireably. A locking element abuts the outer flange to secure the flange to the anti-rotation element and a pin extends out from the shaft and inserts into a helical track in the locking element so that the pin rides in the helical track. The anti-rotation element also includes a through-bore for a fastener to secure the anti-rotation element to the shaft.12-09-2010

20090141511LIGHT BAR AND METHOD FOR MAKING - A light bar is described that is of a modular construction based on one or more large circuit boards that are populated with light beam assemblies and then fastened to an interior space of the light bar housing. Keys that automatically align the light beam assemblies on each of the boards precisely control placement of the assemblies on the board. In turn, each of the boards is keyed to the interior of the light bar housing so that when the board is fastened to the housing the light beam assemblies are automatically registered into alignment with the lenses in the housing so that the beams from the assemblies are properly oriented. The light bar is inexpensive to fabricate and can be assembled quickly and reliably, yet it provides for a high degree of customization, which is a requirement in the emergency vehicle lighting industry.06-04-2009

20080296013Top mounted injector for coiled tubing injection - A tubing injector unit for use in inserting and withdrawing coiled tubing from a well bore hole having in its structure a tubing injector component, a gooseneck component and a mounting component for connection of the overall unit to a supporting structure such as a mast. The mounting component has an upper area for carrying the gooseneck component thereon and a lower underside area forming an injector component supporting structure. The unit in operation thereby supports the injector component in a suspended condition beneath the mounting component so that the working forces which develop in inserting and withdrawing tubing in a bore hole are transferred separately to the mounting component by the injector component and the gooseneck component and thus directly to the supporting structure by the mounting component.12-04-2008
20090025980Modular coiled tubing and sectional pipe drilling rig - A drilling rig for use in both coiled tubing injection and rigid threaded pipe operations, and consisting of a number of separably transportable modules which are assembled on site for carrying out the operations. Included in the modules are a substructure component, a mast component and an injector component. In setting up for operation, the mast component is combined on site with the substructure component which supports the assembled rig over the borehole. The mast component in location provides a loading area to support the injector component in a position for ready loading of an injector included in the injector component into the mast when required for a coiled tubing operation.01-29-2009
20090255688COILED TUBING INJECTOR SYSTEM - A coiled tubing injector system which includes transport trailer components for separate transfer to and from a drilling site. Each component is taken to the site with its own transport tractor, a first component including a coil storage reel and a second component including a tubing injector carried on a mast which is raised from a horizontal transport position, through a stabbing and unstabbing position to a raised working position. When the components are arranged together in an end-to-end with the mast in a stabbing position, a tube gripping member is positioned between the storage reel and tubing injector for controlling the handling of a free end of the stored tubing for stabbing and unstabbing of the tubing injector.10-15-2009

20090022341Extreme Low Frequency Acoustic Measurement System - The present invention is an extremely low frequency (ELF) microphone and acoustic measurement system capable of infrasound detection in a portable and easily deployable form factor. In one embodiment of the invention, an extremely low frequency electret microphone comprises a membrane, a backplate, and a backchamber. The backchamber is sealed to allow substantially no air exchange between the backchamber and outside the microphone. Compliance of the membrane may be less than ambient air compliance. The backplate may define a plurality of holes and a slot may be defined between an outer diameter of the backplate and an inner wall of the microphone. The locations and sizes of the holes, the size of the slot, and the volume of the backchamber may be selected such that membrane motion is substantially critically damped.01-22-2009
20110132095Sub-Surface Windscreen for Outdoor Measurement of Infrasound - A windscreen is configured for measuring outdoor infrasonic sound. The windscreen includes a container and a microphone. The container defines a chamber. The microphone is disposed in the chamber and can be operatively supported by the floor. The microphone is configured for detecting infrasonic sound. The container is advantageously formed from material that exhibits an acoustic impedance of between 0 and approximately 3150 times the acoustic impedance of air. A reflector plate may be disposed in the container. The reflector plate operatively can support the microphone and provides a doubling effect of infrasonic pressure at the microphone.06-09-2011
