Title: Mark T. Klingensmith and His Concrete Pump Ring Patent.
Introduction
Mark T. Klingensmith is an inventor associated with Apollo, Pennsylvania, and Kennametal Inc. His patent work includes an invention intended to reduce wear in concrete-pumping equipment.
Latest Patents
Klingensmith is credited with 1 patent: “Ring for Concrete Pump.” The invention concerns a pivot pipe used in a two-cylinder thick-material sludge pump. As the pipe moves between the pump cylinders, its sealing surfaces and flow bores can experience abrasion and impact wear. The design reduces wear by securing monolithic wearing rings to the upstream end of the pivot pipe and to the outlets of both pump cylinders. These rings are made from hard materials, such as cemented tungsten carbide.
Career Highlights
Klingensmith’s patent reflects an engineering focus on improving the durability of concrete-pumping components. The use of hard, replaceable wearing surfaces addresses the demanding conditions created by repeated movement and contact within the pump.
Collaborations
Klingensmith’s listed coworkers include Gary John Condon and James Cavanaugh. His company affiliation is Kennametal Inc.
Conclusion
Mark T. Klingensmith’s concrete pump ring patent presents a practical approach to limiting wear in pivot-pipe pump assemblies through the use of durable monolithic wearing rings.
