Title: Innovations by Timothy A Lyon
Introduction
Timothy A Lyon is an accomplished inventor based in Claremore, OK (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of pipe fusion technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Rack type pipe feeder for a pipe fusion machine." This invention features a rack that feeds sticks of pipe to a machine for serial fusion to the trailing end of a pipeline. Multiple independent spaced apart feeders support transverse bundles of sticks of pipe on beams. The legs that support the beams above the ground are equipped with jacks to vary the height and slope of the beams. The slope is designed so that sticks tend to roll toward the lower front end of the beam, where roller assemblies receive the sticks of pipe as they are manually rolled off the beams, one at a time. All of the rack components are modular and interchangeably connectable, allowing the feeder to be quickly adapted for various conditions and applications. Additionally, the level of the lead end of the pipe can be hydraulically adjusted for vertical orientation with the fusion machine, and the pipe can be fed on by hydraulically powered rollers to provide a single operator system.
