Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for delivering a plurality of materials has a first conduit with a chamber coaxially connected to a line. A second conduit extends from adjacent the first conduit through a sidewall of the first conduit to a coaxial location within the first conduit for injecting and directing at least one other material into and along the axis of the first conduit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
Mixing apparatus comprising: a first conduit having an axis, a sidewall, first and second ends, and a chamber extending axially therethrough, said conduit being coaxially attached at the first and second ends to a line; a second conduit extending through the sidewall of the first conduit and being sealably attached thereto, said second conduit having a chamber extending therethrough, a first end spaced from the first conduit and a second end coaxially positioned within the first conduit and directed along the axis of said first conduit; and an in-line mixing means positioned adjacent the second end of said second conduit and spaced from said second end a distance not greater than about the inside diameter of the first conduit, said second conduit second end being directed toward said mixing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
Mixing apparatus comprising: a first conduit having an axis, a sidewall, first and second ends, and a chamber extending axially therethrough, said conduit being coaxially attached at the first and second ends to a line; a second conduit extending through the sidewall of the first conduit and being sealably attached thereto, said second conduit having a chamber extending therethrough, a first end spaced from the first conduit and a second end coaxially positioned within the first conduit and directed along the axis of said first conduit; and an in-line mixing means positioned adjacent the second end of said second conduit and spaced from said second end a distance not greater than about the inside diameter of the first conduit, said second conduit second end being directed toward said mixing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
An apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the second end of the second conduit has a nozzle attached thereto.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the first conduit has a flange on the first and second ends for removably attaching said conduit to said line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
An apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the second conduit has at least one supporting element connected thereto and to a sidewall of the first conduit for maintaining the second end of the second conduit axially aligned relative to the axis of the first conduit.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
An apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the in-line mixer is within the first conduit.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
111 words
A method for mixing materials with an in-line mixer and forming an emulsion comprising: passing a water stream through a first conduit and directing said water stream into the in-line mixer; passing an oil stream into a second conduit; directing said oil stream along the axis of the water stream flowing through the first conduit; discharging the oil stream into the water stream and forming a composite stream; passing the composite stream through the first conduit a distance not greater than about the diameter of the first conduit to the in-line mixer with said water stream encompassing said oil stream; and mixing the composite water and oil stream with the in-line-mixer.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
111 words
A method for mixing materials with an in-line mixer and forming an emulsion comprising: passing a water stream through a first conduit and directing said water stream into the in-line mixer; passing an oil stream into a second conduit; directing said oil stream along the axis of the water stream flowing through the first conduit; discharging the oil stream into the water stream and forming a composite stream; passing the composite stream through the first conduit a distance not greater than about the diameter of the first conduit to the in-line mixer with said water stream encompassing said oil stream; and mixing the composite water and oil stream with the in-line-mixer.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method, as set forth in claim 6, including passing and directing an oil stream having synthetic rubber particles dissolved therein into the water stream at a location adjacent and upstream of the mixer.
