Oil Skimming Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
6663772, Dec 16, 2003
Filed:
Oct 1, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/967527
Inventors:
Von D. Rosquist - Levan UT, 84639
International Classification:
E02B 1504
US Classification:
2102423, 210540, 210923, 405 63
Abstract:
A system for recovering oil spilled on a body of water includes a buoyant containment boom of sufficient length to surround at least a portion of the spilled oil, the boom having a plurality of outer pipe sections, each outer pipe section being longitudinally perforated along one side that may be positioned against the spilled oil, a plurality of spaced-apart support members positioned within the outer pipe, and an inner pipe that is longitudinally perforated along one side, generally coextensive with the outer pipe, and rotatably positioned within said support members so that the perforations in the inner pipe sections may be positioned at a desired height within the outer pipe sections. The system also includes at least first and second suction pumps, the first pump acting to draw a water and oil mixture into the outer pipe, and the second pump acting to draw a mixture having a high percentage of oil into said inner pipe. Water is extracted from the mixture and the oil is stored.

Bed Or Bunk Torsion Spring Suspension System

US Patent:
47138513, Dec 22, 1987
Filed:
Jul 2, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/737395
Inventors:
Von D. Rosquist - LeVan UT
International Classification:
A47C 1916
B63B 2910
B60J 100
F16F 300
US Classification:
5118
Abstract:
A suspension system for a bed or bunk which is to rest on a substantially horizontally oriented deck and is particularly adapted for the sleeper compartments of large truck cabs and which substantially reduce the amplitude of vibrations and other disruptive movements of the truck. The system includes a lower support frame which is adapted to be on the deck. An upper support frame for supporting a mattress is positioned above the lower support frame. The two frames are interconnected by at least two torsion spring members wherein the upper support frame is free to move up and down relative to the lower support frame under the influence of the spring action of the torsion spring members. The spring action dampens the transmission of up and down movements from the truck to the upper support frame and the mattress positioned thereon.

Engine Brake

US Patent:
43334300, Jun 8, 1982
Filed:
Jun 15, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/048988
Inventors:
Von D. Rosquist - Levan UT
International Classification:
F02D 906
US Classification:
123321
Abstract:
An engine retarder brake for operating a valve in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine near the end of the exhaust stroke to thereby discharge compressed air and cause the engine to operate as a brake for the vehicle.

Hydraulically-Actuated Fuel Delivery Timing Advance Mechanism For Diesel Engines With Mechanical Fuel Injection Pumps

View page
US Patent:
20200309041, Oct 1, 2020
Filed:
Mar 26, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/365656
Inventors:
Von D. Rosquist - Levan UT, US
International Classification:
F02D 1/18
F02D 1/16
Abstract:
A variable timing apparatus, for an internal combustion engine equipped with a mechanical fuel injection pump, includes a tubular extender having a front flange bolted to the normal injection pump mount and a rear mounting flange bolted to the injector pump. The timing drive shaft is equipped with a male right-hand helically-splined drive. The injection pump drive is equipped with a left-hand helically-splined drive. A spring-biased, slidable coupler has a front end right-hand helically-splined socket that engages the male right-hand drive, and a rear end left-hand helically-splined socket that engages the male left-hand drive on the injector pump. After engine startup, oil pressure moves the sliding coupler axially rearward and rotates clockwise with respect to and as seen from the timing drive shaft. The injection pump drive also rotates clockwise, with respect to the coupler, thereby advancing injection timing.

Hydraulically-Actuated Fuel Delivery Timing Advance Mechanism For Diesel Engines With Mechanical Fuel Injection Pumps

US Patent:
20140196692, Jul 17, 2014
Filed:
Jan 16, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/157502
Inventors:
Von D. Rosquist - Levan UT, US
International Classification:
F02D 1/18
US Classification:
123502, 2988801
Abstract:
A variable timing apparatus, for an internal combustion diesel engine equipped with a conventional mechanical fuel injection pump, includes a tubular extender having a front flange bolted to the normal injection pump mount and a rear mounting flange bolted to the injector pump. The tubular extender houses a timing drive shaft has a first end directly coupled to the engine's timing drive and a second free end equipped with a plurality of helical splines. The injection pump drive is equipped with straight splines. A spring-biased, slidable coupler, having a front end equipped with helical splines and a rear end equipped with straight splines, couples the timing drive shaft to the injection pump drive. After engine startup, oil pressure moves the sliding coupler axially rearward approximately 1.0 cm. As the slidable coupler travels axially rearward, it rotates and advances the injection timing by approximately 25 degrees.
