Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 A partially exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the flange assembly (20) according to the invention is shown in . The flange includes a mounting ring (22) and a gate (24). The mounting ring (22) includes a primary portion (26) and a secondary portion (28). The gate (24) includes a blocking portion (30) frangibly connected to a flange portion (32).

[0028] The main portion (26) of the mounting ring (22) is annular and surrounds the fluid passage (34). The main portion (26) of the mounting ring (22) includes a plurality of threaded bolt holes (36) spaced circumferentially about and parallel to the fluid passage (34). The main portion (26) of the mounting ring (22) also includes a notch (38) configured to receive the blocking portion (30) of the gate (24). The notch (38) preferably extends around the boundary of the fluid channel (34). Furthermore, the main portion (26) of the mounting ring (22) includes at least two threaded screw holes (40) formed ...

Abstract

A flange assembly comprises an annular mounting ring and a gate. The annular mounting ring is configured to be welded to the equipment and to connect an air cannon thereto. The mounting ring comprisesthreaded bolt holes and a slot and encircles a fluid passageway. The gate comprises a blocking portion that is frangibly connected to a flange portion. The gate is at least partially insertable through the slot such that the blocking portion is able to at least partially prevent fluid flow through the fluid passageway. The flange portion is configured to be securely attached to the annular mounting ring after the blocking portion of the gate has been frangibly disconnected from the flange portion.

Description

[0001] Statement Regarding Federally Funded Research or Development [0002] Not applicable. [0003] appendix [0004] Not applicable. technical field [0005] The present invention relates to bulk material handling / processing equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to flange assemblies for mounting air cannons to bulk materials processing equipment. Background technique [0006] Air cannons are used in the bulk material handling and processing industry to remove accumulated bulk material deposits from surfaces of bulk material handling / processing equipment such as kilns, hoppers and transfer chutes. Examples of air cannons are described in US Patent No. 7,837,062, issued November 23, 2010, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0007] An air cannon consists of a pressure vessel, exhaust valve and exhaust passage. The pressure vessel is periodically filled with a pressurized gas, such as air, from a pressurized gas source. ...
