Latest Patents

Stahl's latest patents include a "Catalyst Changing System" and a "Catalyst Changer for Underfloor Type Catalytic Converter." The Catalyst Changing System is a unitary system designed for changing catalyst particles in a catalytic converter mounted in a vehicle exhaust system. This innovative system attaches to and hangs from the converter, applying rotary off-center vibration to collect liberated particles in a self-supporting canister. Additionally, vacuum means acting through the exhaust pipe aids in starting the emptying process and refilling the converter.

The Catalyst Changer for Underfloor Type Catalytic Converter is an improved device that facilitates the removal and replacement of catalyst particles or pellets in an underfloor type catalytic converter. This device includes a canister for containing catalyst particles, a conduit for conducting particles between the converter and the canister, and an eccentrically mounted vibrator to assist in the removal and replenishment of particles. The clamping means of the changer is designed to rigidly attach to the catalytic converter, ensuring that vibrational forces are effectively transmitted to the catalytic bed during the replacement process.
