Patent number: 9354032Abstract: A device for measuring the normality of a hole in a work piece, especially in holes used in the building of aircraft. A probe fits within the hole to be measured and is fixed in the hole by contact at the upper end of the hole with a tapered portion of the probe, and at the lower end by a flared portion of the probe. An indicator assembly is connected to the probe by a bracket. The indicator assembly has an arm which contacts the surface of the work piece. The indicator assembly is rotated around the probe during use of the gage, and the arm is vertically displaceable as this rotation occurs. A dial indicator operationally connected to the arm will register any vertical displacement of the arm during its rotation, indicating any deviancy from normality of the measured hole.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: West Coast Industries, Inc.Inventor: Paul Joseph Shemeta

Patent number: 8240960Abstract: A depth stop attached to a drill for producing precise countersinking in drilled holes. The depth stop produces an accurate and precise countersink in drilled holes by limiting the depth to which a drill bit can drill through a work piece. An audible click occurs for every 7.5 micron change in depth in the preferred embodiment. The depth stop is configured such that attempts to over tighten the lock screw which fixes the depth amount will not damage or deflect the working parts of the device thereby producing accurate and repeatable results.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2008Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: West Coast Industries, Inc.Inventor: Paul Joseph Shemeta

Patent number: 7344341Abstract: A portable power drill having an automatic drilling cycle for feeding a rotating tool bit to a workpiece to effect the desired operation. The drill uses a rotary gerotor pump to pump hydraulic fluid used in its system, and pressurized air to operate the hydraulic pump. The drill has a clamping assembly which clamps the unit on a workpiece before the drill bit is advanced toward the workpiece. The drill also has an integral drill spindle-planet carrier area which adds to its operability and reliability.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2002Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: West Coast Industries, Inc.Inventor: Paul Joseph Shemeta

Patent number: 4665732Abstract: A method and apparatus for coldworking of holes using a split mandrel. The apparatus uses a mandrel having radially directed slots to permit contraction of its outer diameter as it is fitted within a hole. The mandrel contains a pilot inside the mandrel. After placing the mandrel and pilot within a hole to be coldworked, the pilot is pushed into the mandrel expanding the mandrel. The pilot and mandrel are then withdrawn through the hole, thereby coldworking the hole.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1983Date of Patent: May 19, 1987Assignee: West Coast Industries, Inc.Inventor: Franciscus Hogenhout

Patent number: 4597282Abstract: A method and apparatus for coldworking of holes using a split mandrel. The apparatus uses a mandrel having radially directed slots to permit contraction of its outer diameter as it is fitted within a hole. The mandrel contains a pilot having a larger diameter extending from the mandrel. After placing the mandrel and pilot within a hole to be coldworked, the pilot is pulled into the mandrel solidifying the mandrel. The pilot and mandrel are then withdrawn through the hole, thereby coldworking the hole.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1984Date of Patent: July 1, 1986Assignee: West Coast Industries, Inc.Inventor: Franciscus Hogenhout

Patent number: 4583388Abstract: A method and apparatus for coldworking of holes using a split mandrel. The apparatus uses a mandrel having a larger diameter end and radially directed slots to permit contraction of its outer diameter as it is fitted within a hole. The mandrel partially contains a pilot in its "at rest" state. After placing the mandrel and pilot within a hole to be coldworked, the pilot is pushed fully into the mandrel solidifying the mandrel. The pilot and mandrel are then withdrawn through the hole, thereby coldworking the hole. An air logic circuit accomplishes the pushing of the pilot within the mandrel and retraction of the pilot and mandrel.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1984Date of Patent: April 22, 1986Assignee: West Coast Industries, Inc.Inventor: Franciscus Hogenhout
