Title: Anthony S. Loc and His Linear Compressor Invention.

Introduction

Anthony S. Loc is an inventor associated with Alhambra, California. His recorded patent concerns a linear compressor designed to support controlled piston movement and reduce unwanted lateral forces.

Latest Patents

Loc is credited with 1 patent, titled “Linear Compressor Including Reciprocating Piston and Machined [Spring].” The invention describes a compressor with a reciprocating piston that changes the volume of a compression chamber. A moving-coil motor drives the piston against an integrally machined double-helix spring.

The spring’s two resilient helical members are arranged to counteract one another’s lateral reaction forces. In one configuration, the members share a twist direction, interleave along the longitudinal axis, and are rotated approximately 180 degrees relative to each other. An alternative configuration uses helices with opposite twist directions, separated along the axis and joined at their inner ends by a center member.

Career Highlights

The available information associates Loc with Raytheon Company. His patent reflects work on compressor mechanisms, particularly spring arrangements intended to guide reciprocating motion while balancing lateral forces.

Collaborations

Gerald R. Pruitt is identified as Loc’s coworker. The available details do not specify Pruitt’s role in the patent or the nature of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Anthony S. Loc’s recorded invention focuses on a linear compressor whose specially arranged spring supports piston motion and helps balance lateral forces.
