Abstract:
An alignment apparatus suited for aligning structural members, such as, but not limited to pipes, structural beams, lumber, or any other suitable member. The alignment apparatus comprises a mounting base, an alignment receiver, and a fastening element. The mounting base comprises a first mounting body, a mounting cavity, and a second mounting body. The alignment receiver comprises a first receiver panel, an alignment cavity, a fastening aperture, and a second receiver panel. The mounting base is perpendicularly connected adjacent to the alignment receiver. The first receiver panel and the second receiver panel are vertically connected adjacent to the mounting base. The alignment cavity is positioned between the first receiver panel and the second receiver panel. The fastening aperture traverses through the first receiver panel. The fastening element is selectively connected along the fastening aperture.
Abstract:
A method for rehabilitating a pipeline with a liner includes providing a coupling member to connect a liner to a pipeline element. A first alignment element is connected to an end of the host pipe and a second alignment element to an end of the coupling member to axially align both components. A length of the liner is provided through the pipe and the coupling member to expose a joining section of the liner outside the pipe. The coupling member is brought towards the pipe such that the first and second alignment elements mate and the joining section of the liner is received in the coupling member. The joining section of the liner is pressurized to engage an interior surface of the coupling member, and a curable resin composition of the liner is cured to form a functional joint between the coupling member and the liner joining section.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a tube positioning device for setting a tube within a narrow passageway. The tube positioning device includes a flexible elongated member that removably secures to a handle and a fitting member. The elongated member includes a first end and a second end, wherein each the first end and the second include a fastener. The handle includes a gripping member perpendicularly affixed to a connection member, wherein the connection member includes a fastener on a first end that removably secures to the first end of the elongated member. The fitting member includes a pair of fasteners disposed on opposing ends thereof, wherein a first fastener removably secures to the second end of the elongated member and a second fastener removably secures to a tube.
