Abstract
A pipe stop and stored energy dampening apparatus comprising a main body, a plurality of rollers connected to the main body, a gear connected to a first roller of the plurality of rollers, a gear lever connected to the main body and adapted to engage with the gear, a gear handle connected to the gear lever, and a clamp connected to the main body. Methods related to dispensing pipe or conduit or hosing from a spool or other device on which a pipe or conduit is wound or otherwise stored, controlling stored energy of the pipe or conduit in preventing injuries, and eliminating wasted pipe or conduit.
Claims22
A pipe stop and stored energy dampening apparatus comprising:
- a main body;
- a plurality of rollers connected to the main body;
- a gear connected to a first roller of the plurality of rollers;
- a gear lever connected to the main body and adapted to engage with the gear;
- a gear handle connected to the gear lever;
- and
- a clamp connected to the main body.
A method for dampening, guiding a direction of, and selectively stopping a traveling pipe, comprising the steps of:
- connecting a main body to a structure;
- adjusting a setting of at least two rollers for squeezing and applying tension to an outer surface of the traveling pipe;
- moving a pipe through a main body containing a plurality of rollers;
- and
- stopping one of the at least two rollers from rotating for stopping the traveling pipe.
A method for dispensing a pipe from a spool, comprising the steps of:
- winding the pipe on the spool and thereby creating stored energy in the pipe;
- and
- controlling stored energy of the pipe or conduit in preventing injuries.
