View page
US Patent:
6412837, Jul 2, 2002
Filed:
Dec 28, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/749366
Inventors:
David M. Futa - South Bend IN
Assignee:
Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc. - South Bend IN
International Classification:
B66C 104
US Classification:
294 3, 294 655, 414606
Abstract:
A grapple provides a body and a tine. The tine has first and second ends and a plurality of arms located at the first end. The arms are separated by a pair of outer slots and at least one inner slot. The inner slot extends further into the tine relative to the pair of outer slots.

Methods And Apparatus To Make Rubber Crumb Particles

View page
US Patent:
20090114749, May 7, 2009
Filed:
Nov 1, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/981896
Inventors:
David M. Futa - South Bend IN, US
International Classification:
B02C 4/02
US Classification:
241 30, 241206
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to make rubber crumb particles, are disclosed. An example method comprises rotating a pair of rigid rolls disposed closely adjacent one another via self-aligning bearings that support the rigid rolls with a preset gap therebetween, feeding material between the rigid rolls, and maintaining the preset gap to exceed the elastic limit of the material.

Cooling Apparatus Used In Recycling Scrap Tires

US Patent:
20130109293, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Oct 31, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/317867
Inventors:
David M. Futa - South Bend IN, US
International Classification:
F24F 7/00
F24F 7/007
US Classification:
454338, 454254
Abstract:
The apparatus or “chiller” uses an upward stream of ambient air drawn through the upright housing to cool crumb rubber particles that are deposited into and fall through the housing. The chiller includes an upright chiller housing and an array of internal baffles disposed within the lower section of the housing. Crumb rubber deposited into the chiller housing falls through the upward air flow within the chiller housing and cascades around and through the baffle array before exiting the chiller. The baffle array inside the lower section of the chiller housing slows the fall of the crumb rubber, thereby increasing the dwell time through the chiller to provide enhanced cooling. The baffle array also creates a more turbulent air flow through which the crumb rubber falls. The rising turbulent air mass enhances the transfer of thermal energy from the falling crumb rubber.

Apparatus And Method For Producing Crumb Rubber

View page
US Patent:
20130193245, Aug 1, 2013
Filed:
Jan 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/385017
Inventors:
David M. Futa - South Bend IN, US
International Classification:
B02C 17/16
US Classification:
241 27
Abstract:
The apparatus and method produces fine mesh crumb rubber and provides for independently driving two parallel rolls, with one roll turning at tip speeds far above conventional cracker mills. Turning the roll at a rate (rpms) that results in “hyper” outer roll surface speeds between 1000 ft/min and 1300 ft/min., which is four and a half times the normal maximum speed of conventional mills yields several unexpected and beneficial results. The previously expected effects of operating at surface speeds about 400 ft/min are reduced or eliminated.

Electromagnet

View page
US Patent:
54102898, Apr 25, 1995
Filed:
Oct 12, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/135158
Inventors:
David Futa - South Bend IN
Assignee:
Delta Star Electric, Inc. - South Bend IN
International Classification:
H01F 500
H01F 720
H01F 1700
H01F 2728
US Classification:
335299
Abstract:
An electromagnet is provided having a housing and a coil disposed therein. The coil comprises three strips of material placed adjacent one another in an interleaved fashion. The coil comprises a strip of insulation, a magnetic strip, and an electrical conductor strip. The magnetic strip extends radially for only a portion of the coil. The electrical conductor strip comprises two separate materials. In one embodiment, the electrical conductor strip comprises a segment of bare copper, and a segment of bare aluminum.

Grapple

View page
US Patent:
61682195, Jan 2, 2001
Filed:
Apr 3, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/054727
Inventors:
David Futa - South Bend IN
Assignee:
David M. Futa - Barrington IL
Carlton G. Smith - Latham NY
Lance E. Long - Mishawaka IN
Steven B. Begyn - Latham NY
Jack Long - South Bend IN
International Classification:
B66C 104
B66C 304
US Classification:
294 3
Abstract:
A grapple includes a ferrous body with a plurality of tines pivotally connected thereto. A magnetic coil is disposed within the ferrous body. When the magnetic coil is energized, it creates a magnetic field within the area defined by the tines. The tines are also magnetized by the field. Additional magnetic coils may be added to one or more of the tines.
