Title: Innovations by Edward Van Gool
Introduction
Edward Van Gool is an accomplished inventor based in Surrey, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the field of hydrodemolition, showcasing his expertise through his innovative patents. With a total of two patents to his name, Van Gool has developed advanced systems that enhance the efficiency and safety of hydrodemolition processes.
Latest Patents
One of Van Gool's latest patents is a "Shielding system for hydrodemolition apparatus." This invention features a loop whose ends are secured to opposite sides of a reciprocating nozzle carrier. The loop is supported by a structure surrounding the frame along which the nozzle carrier moves. It overlays portions of gaps through which nozzles extend to work on an underlying surface. The nozzles have access to the surface through gaps under the nozzle carrier, while the remaining gaps are covered by the loop, which is drawn or pushed by the nozzle carrier during its reciprocation.
Another notable patent is the "Top-down hydro-demolition system with rigid support frame." This invention describes a hydro-demolition device and a top-down method for deconstructing structural surfaces. The device includes a rigid support frame mounted above the work-face on the structural surface being deconstructed. The frame supports cutting nozzles that move up and down along the surface. The nozzles are mounted on a carriage that is movably connected to the rigid frame, allowing for various movements toward and away from the work-face.
