Patent CA-2506604-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHWARTZ RICHARD J
IPC: F16C1/02
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: A wire wound flexible shaft has layers of wire wound one upon another, with a dry film of lubricant bonded to the outer surfaces of a number of the outer layers; or if desired, to the outer surfaces of all layers of the shaft. The lubricant is applied by preheating the partially completed flexible shaft to a temperature substantially above 212~F but below the decomposition temperatur e of the lubricant. A liquid medium comprising a carrier and particles of the lubricant is sprayed onto the shaft surface, causing the liquid to vaporize and the lubricant particles to be deposited on the shaft. One or more successive wire layers may then be wound onto the partially completed shaft and the spraying step repeated. Thereafter the shaft is heated to cause the lubricant particles to bond to the adjacent wire layers and to reduce intern al stresses in the shaft.

Filed: 2006-04-13
Abstract: The Canadian National Research Council has decreed that the most important factor for reducing unwanted plumbing noise in any plumbing installation is pipe isolation.   ASHREA has established that homes are considered quiet at NC-30. We have established that flushing the average Canadian toilet generates over 60dB of noise therefore 30 db of noise has to be removed before plumbing is considered quiet. Research and testing has established that plumbing noise is annoying.   The conical configuration of the ST-ISO-20 allows for the isolation material to conform to any size of pipe The conical shape / configuration of the ST-ISO-20 allows for the isolation material to automatically adjusts to accommodate various pipe sizes and loads.     The ST-ISO-20 can reduce plumbing noise by 27-24 dB.
