US Patent:

53504810, Sep 27, 1994

Filed:

Aug 10, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/105982

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

Disclosed is a device to repair ruptures in the wall of a flexible pressurizable enclosure. The device has an apertured plate on the wall's outer surface, and has a threaded fastener protruding through the aperture and rupture into the enclosure. A butterfly member threaded to the fastener within the enclosure has clamping members swingable out from the fastener so that engagement surfaces on the clamping members face the ruptured zone of the wall. A layer on the engagement surfaces has a curable adhesive resin initially segregated from a setting agent therefor, which is also in the layer. The segregation of resin and setting agent is achieved by enclosing at least one of these substances in capsules distributed within the layer. Once the clamping members swing away from the fastener, turning the fastener moves the clamping members to press them on the inner surface zone of the enclosure wall. The wall is thus sealingly pressed between the clamping members and the plate on the wall's outer surface.

Abstract:

An industrial fluoroscope having a television camera optically trained on the area between the X-ray tube and the fluoroscope to provide pictorial information on the tube-test object spacing and the tube-fluoroscope spacing. The pictorial information is displayed on a television receiver remote from the X-ray room, hence safely away from the harmful X-rays. The televised information assists the human technician to remotely manipulate the test object and fluoroscope equipment without having to physically enter the X-ray room. A video recorder may be associated with the television receiver to provide a permanent record of the test object positionment in relation to the X-ray picture.

Abstract:

A miniature outdoor cooking unit includes a base that can be positioned on a ground surface to support a can containing flammable fuel. A protective tube is removably supported on the base to provide wind protection for the flame that is generated by the fuel. Horizontal bars on the upper edge of the tube provide a support for a pot or pan that is to be heated by the cooking unit.
