Inventors:

Allan H. McKinnon - Irving TX
Charles R. Kidd - Irving TX
Michael Gulla - Osprey FL

International Classification:

B05C 106

US Classification:

118258

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for treating the walls of apertures passing through a planar substrate with a fluid treatment solution. The method comprises placement of a pressurized fluid wedge beneath, above, or both beneath and above a planar substrate as it passes through a treatment chamber. The apparatus that forms the fluid wedge is a roller assembly comprising a roller within a shroud which carries fluid as it rotates through a gap between the roller and the shroud. The roller provides the dual function of forming the fluid wedge and conveying the planar substrate through the treatment chamber.

Abstract:

A bracket assembly for an exercise apparatus and the like is disclosed. The bracket assembly includes a plate member having a U-shaped chamber. The plate member includes a gusset extending from an outer side of the plate member. The plate member further includes a pin extending from the outer side of the plate member. The gusset receives a rack of an exercise apparatus. The pin inserts in one of a plurality of rack openings and connects the bracket assembly to the rack. A user places a barbell in the plate member through the U-shaped chamber. The U-shaped chamber allows the user to have a safe and controlled upward and downward motion for performing exercises with the barbell while in a seated or standing position. The U-shaped chamber acts as a holder for the barbell and prevents the user from tipping over or losing balance holding the barbell in the chamber.
