Latest Patents
Krebsbach holds a patent for a device known as the Precision Powder Hopper. This invention features a canister designed for storing particulate material and a rotatable carrier wheel that accurately meters small amounts of the material to a powder outlet. The carrier wheel is equipped with slots that receive specific quantities of material, which are tamped into the slots by a tamper assembly. This assembly includes a deflectable leaf spring that is mounted on the same shaft that rotates the powder carrier wheel. A cam and spoke arrangement allows the leaf spring to deflect cyclically in response to the rotation of the powder carrier wheel. Additionally, a cupped spring washer works in conjunction with the leaf spring to absorb some of the deflection, thereby reducing bending stress and extending the service life of the spring. The design also incorporates a novel seal that ensures effective powder containment.
