  • Patent number: 4775085
    Abstract: A semi-full cut semiconductor wafer is put on an adhesive sheet attached to a ring frame. Then, the semiconductor wafer is pushed upward from the back surface of the adhesive sheet by a rotatable breaking member in the shape of a disk the edge portion of which is triangular in section. In this state, the ring frame is moved so that the breaking member may not deviate from dicing lines, whereby the semiconductor wafer is divided into a large number of chips.

  • Patent number: 4773487
    Abstract: A speed limiter for setting the speed of an air tool has a flow passage body which screws into the air inlet of the tool. The body defines an axial air flow path therethrough with an annular land adjacent to internal threads. An adjusting insert is threaded to the internal threads and has a pair of opposed axially extending grooves formed in its periphery which extend further radially inward than the land. The size of the air flow passage and therefore the speed of the tool is varied by adjusting the insert toward or away from the land.

  • Patent number: 4773676
    Abstract: Continuous stationery capable of being easily divided up into individually separated sheets. The sheets 10 are joined at their transverse edges, 13, 14, 15 etc. Additional score lines 21 and 22 run transversely across the sheet and extend beyond longitudinal score lines 16 and 18 into the vertical margins. A row 27 of punched holes is formed adjacent score line 16. Information is printed on the area 25. To assemble the information, the vertical marginal portions are removed along score lines 16 and 18. The horizontal marginal portions are then removed by tearing along score lines 21 and 22, leaving a pile of printed separated sheets which can then be put in a loose-leaf binder to form e.g. an address book.

  • Patent number: 4771665
    Abstract: A blade quality monitor for use with cutter reels having specifically identifiable blades utilize a sensor to detect the position of a physical anomaly on the reel. Additional sensors sense the force at the interface between the cutter reel, the material wrapped thereon and the associated pressure roller. The position of the physical anomaly is correlated with the sensed force to determine the magnitude thereof at each blade which is indicative of the condition of the blade with respect to sharpness or intactness.

  • Patent number: 4771542
    Abstract: A hand-held power cutting tool has a generally cylindrical casing, which can be grasped in the palm of one hand, and whose rear portion housed an electric driving motor disposed in the casing with its axis of rotation lying along the longitudinal axis of the rear portion. Reciprocated by the motor via a drive transmission system is a cutter carrier mounted for reciprocatory movement in a bearing support structure. The cutter carrier carries a clamp by which a cutter is attached to the carrier. The carrier is reciprocated at a rate of between 4,000 and 12,000 movements per minute and with a stroke of from 4 to 12 mm for rapid cutting of thin material. The cutter may have a generally U-shaped blade.

  • Patent number: 4769911
    Abstract: A pipe cutting device comprises a housing to which a tool case is attached to be rotatable, and by rotating manually or electrically the tool case so that the openings of the tool case and a follow-up gear disposed in the tool case substantially align with the opening provided for the housing, is formed a pipe inserting passage for inserting a pipe from the opening side of the openings of these members towards the central portion of the tool case. Two driving gears meshed with the follow-up gear are driven by a motor through the power transmission mechanism to rotate the tool case. The rotation of the tool case drives the cam roller to operate the cam plate, and the clutch arm is rotated by predetermined angles by every one rotation of the tool case thereby to minutely rotate the eccentric cam by predetermined angles through the one-way clutch. The rotation of the eccentric cam rotates the lever mechanism which is operatively connected to the cutter.

  • Patent number: 4769909
    Abstract: An improved quick clamping device to hold armored cables such as BX cable for cutting. The device includes a handle for receiving the cable which is preferably U-shaped and which defines a cable receiving channel. A clamping handle is hingedly attached to one end of the cable receiving handle. A clamping stud with a two-sided stop adjustable along its length is slidably held between the clamping and receiving handles such that when the handles are compressed the clamping stud projects into the cable receiving channel and clamps the cable. A spring biasing means on one side of the stop serves to hold the handles in the open, unclamped position prior to use. A resilient means such as a bowed spring steel washer is provided on the other side of the stop which compresses as required to prevent excess clamping forces from being generated which might damage the clamp. A saw is preferably mounted on a pivoted saw handle to cut the cable which it is clamped.
