  • Patent number: 7472633
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus includes a frame, a rotating disk fitted on the frame, platforms on the rotating disk, an inner rotating member fitted on the frame, a clutch, and an actuating mechanism for moving the clutch; the platforms have clamping jaws for clamping a work piece; the clutch is joined to the inner rotating member, and can be engaged with and disengaged from a transmission gear rotated with a power source; after one of the platforms is secured to the inner rotating member, the actuating mechanism will exert force to separate the clutch from the transmission gear, and the clamping jaws clamp the work piece, and next the clutch is engaged with the transmission gear; thus, the power source causes rotation of the transmission gear, the clutch, the inner rotating member, and said working platform so as to test whether the work piece is positioned in balanced position.

  • Patent number: 7066063
    Abstract: A turret of a lathe has a power transmission that is used for moving a tool Disk secured on a shaft to a secured position where the disk is engaged with a clutch. The transmission includes a piston, and a force multiplier unit, which includes a ring, a sleeve secured to the piston, and steel beads. The ring has first sloping trenches. The sleeve has sloping trenches that are less steep and opposing the first trenches, and has recesses connected to the trenches. The steel beads are held in respective ones of the spaces defined by the sloping trenches and the recesses, and are positioned next to a gear secured on the shaft such that when the piston is actuated for moving the tool disk towards the secured position, the steel beads will push the gear with multiplied force output while being rolled along the sloping trenches.
