Interlocking hook assemblies for elastic and rigid straps and cords including a strap member and a pair of similar interlocking hook devices connected to each end of strap member which can be adjusted to desired length. Each interlocking hook device is provided with apertures which are fixedly attached to the distal end of the hook body opposite the hook. Each hook device can be connected, preferably in a locking manner, onto the other hook device creating a closed hook assembly thereby disabling the hooks to prevent entanglement of elastic or rigid straps when not in use or during storage and/or transportation. Multiple straps can be connected end-to-end forming an elongated elastic or rigid strap of desired length having closed central hooks with open hooks on each end. Interlocking hook assemblies for elastic or rigid straps and cords including two similar interlocking hook devices with a connector groove and a dual bar adjustable webbing slider for elastic or rigid straps and cord members. Each interlocking hook device is provided with a connector groove designed to allow each hook to engage the other within their respective grooves and to releasably lock them together.

A connection apparatus includes a first flange member having a threaded portion; a second flange member having a threaded portion; a central annular connecting flange positioned in between the first and second flanges; a pair of cross trunnion assemblies being next to and on opposing sides of the annular connecting flange; a pair of threaded collars connecting each trunnion assembly to the connecting flange and a flange; a plurality of key and slot connections that provide an interlocking interface between each flange and each trunnion assembly; and bolted connections the secure each trunnion assembly to the central annular connecting flange.

Driveshaft coupling

Universal joint () includes a centering mechanism (A) for supporting the universal and forcing the two joint halves to operate at the same angle thereby causing the joint to operate at constant velocity at all angles. Each shaft () of the joint () is rotatably connected to the centering mechanism (A). Movement of one of the shafts () at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the coupling yoke () is transmitted to the other shaft () by the centering mechanism (A) and the centering mechanism (A) causes the other shaft () to likewise move at the same angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the coupling yoke (). The centering mechanism(A) includes cam rods () supported within a cam tube (), which arrangement allows a full range of movement of the shafts () at angles of 90&#xb0;.

Cam bar centering mechanism

A two-tube centrifuge separates light material and heavy material from an input mixture. A hollow drive shaft rotates a central body member about an axis of rotation. Two hollow arm assemblies, each having circular cross-section, are mounted on diametrically opposite sides of the central body. Each arm assembly includes an outer housing tube, an intermediate tube, and an inner tube that is longer than the intermediate tube. An end cap having a removable plug is mounted on the outer end of the housing-tube of each arm assembly. The inner ends of all three tubes are mechanically interlocked in a manner to cantilever mount the inner and intermediate tubes to the central-body with their outer ends spaced from the internal surface of the end cap. An input-mixture path extends through the hollow drive shaft, through the central-body, and into a cylindrical space between the inner and intermediate tubes of each arm assembly. A heavy material exit path extends from the inner tube, through the central body, and into an exit cone that lies diametrically opposite the drive shaft and whose axis is coincident with the axis of rotation. A light material exit path extends from a cylindrical space between the inner and intermediate tubes, through the central-body, and through a wall of the exit cone. The inner tube of each arm assembly includes an auger. An electric motor drives the drive shaft. A hydraulic motor drives the auger. An oxidation reactor in a centrifuge for decanting lighter material from heavier material from a mixture of initial material and to perform an oxidation reaction process on the heavier material.

Oxidation reactor

A centrifuge having a housing having a body and an arm extending from the body, the arm attached to the body at a first end; a chamber defined in the arm; a first tube positioned within the chamber and comprising a porous sidewall; a second tube positioned within the chamber; a first flow path defined by the first tube and second tube; a second flow path defined by the second tube; a first exit in communication with the first flow path for evacuating a first material from the arm; and a second exit in communication with the second flow path for evacuating a second material from the arm. An input mixture enters the arm through an inlet. As the sludge flows along an outer flow region defined by the first tube and interior sidewall of the arm, at least a portion of a liquid passes through the porous sidewall of the first tube and into a middle flow region, analogous to the first flow path. The liquid may drain from the middle flow region through the first exit. Solids exit through the second exit.

Method of separating materials with a concentric tubular centrifuge

Universal joint () includes a centering mechanism (A) for supporting the universal and forcing the two joint halves to operate at the same angle thereby causing the joint to operate at constant velocity at all angles. Each shaft () of the joint () is rotatably connected to the centering mechanism (A). Movement of one of the shafts () at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the coupling yoke () is transmitted to the other shaft () by the centering mechanism (A) and the centering mechanism (A) causes the other shaft () to likewise move at the same angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the coupling yoke (). The centering mechanism (A) includes cam rods () supported within a cam tube (), which arrangement allows a full range of movement of the shafts () at angles of 90&#xb0;.

Concentric tubular centrifuge

A centrifuge for decanting lighter material from heavier material from a mixture of initial material includes a housing having a central body and a hollow arm extending from the body, the arm having a first end attached to the central body, and a second end extending away from the central body, and an end cap attached to the second end of the arm to form a chamber in the arm. A baffle is attached to the body and extends into the chamber, the baffle having a longer inner tube having an interior and a distal end, and a shorter outer tube. The longer tube is positioned inside the shorter tube and defines an inner space therebetween. An outer space is defined between the shorter tube and the hollow arm. An entrance path for the mixture of initial material is formed in the housing and communicates with the inner space. An exit path for the light material is formed in the housing and communicates with the outer space. An exit path for the heavier material is formed in the housing and includes the interior of the longer tube. A plug is formed in the chamber adjacent the end cap to engage the distal end of the longer tube and define a flow path to guide the lighter material to the light material exit path.
