Abstract: A handwheel lock particularly designed for use with a hatch cover on a vessel such as a railroad tank car. The apparatus is used with a threaded bolt such as an eye-bolt and includes a handwheel assembly which surrounds a nut which is threadedly connected to the bolt. The handwheel includes a pair of spaced apart sets of ratchet teeth and the nut includes a detent arrangement. In one embodiment, a spring is used to bias the handwheel to a position in which the detent on the nut is in engagement with one set of ratchet teeth so that the handwheel can be turned to tighten the nut on the bolt. If the handwheel is turned in the other direction, it will merely ratchet on the nut and torque will not be transmitted to the nut. To loosen the nut, the handwheel must be lifted against the force of the spring so that the detent engages the other set of ratchet teeth to thereby permit the transfer of torque from the handwheel to the nut. In a modified form, springs are used to center a handwheel so that the detent is between a first and second set of ratchet teeth. In order to tighten the nut on the bolt, the handwheel must be pushed down and then rotated. In order to loosen the nut, the handwheel must be lifted and then turned. A simulated lock is positioned in the handwheel to give a visual impression that a key is required to loosen the handwheel.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing aqueous liquid having a lower content of solids, if any, from a flowable material, containing aqueous liquid as a continuous phase and suspended solids as a discontinuous phase, to obtain a product having a higher solids content, has two endless, driven belts of elongated porous sheets. The belts are supported so that one belt has its path of travel inside that of the other belt. The outer belt is supported so that it has an upper horizontal run through three zones. The inner belt is moved in the same direction and has upper horizontal runs through the first and third of those zones. At the intermediate zone the belt moves downwardly and then upwardly. The outer belt overlies and abuts the inner belt at the first and third zones and is spaced from it at the intermediate zone. The sheet of the inner belt is resilient, compressible and made of cellular material capable of absorbing an aqueous liquid by a wicking action, whereas the sheet of the outer belt is a fine-mesh sheet with pores providing passage of the liquid through the sheet by the wicking action of the abutting cellular sheet of the inner belt while most of the solids are retained on the outer belt. A feeder for delivering flowable material on to the outer belt is mounted adjacent the beginning of the first zone. At the intermediate zone a pair of opposed rolls compress the inner belt to remove aqueous liquid. The inner belt is a composite assembly of the sheet of cellular material, a backing sheet and overlying strands secured to the backing sheet at widely spaced locations to avoid affecting substantially the planarity of the outer surface of the sheet of cellular material.
