  • Patent number: 11110573
    Abstract: A novel de-coupling tool for push-fit connectors that employs a novel compression carousel including a parallel pair of clover-shaped discs slidably secured together by a central axle and a plurality of radially-spaced spindles, the discs being spring-biased apart by at least one spring. Each clover shaped disc is shaped with a plurality of radially-spaced open yokes of various sizes for capturing different sizes of push-fit couplings. The compression carousel is rotatable about the central axle to select an appropriately-sized pair of yokes depending on the size of the coupling. Both a vice-grip embodiment and a lever-operated embodiment are disclosed, in both cases that compress the opposing discs together.

  • Patent number: 11084234
    Abstract: A tire patch clamp assembly for sealing a cut in a pneumatic tire may include an inner plate inserted through the cut and placed on an inside surface of the pneumatic tire. An outer plate is placed on an outside surface of the pneumatic tire. The outer plate is coupled to the inner plate with a threaded rod and a secondary pin. A nut is coupled to the inner plate for receiving the threaded rod. A cam handle assembly is attached to the threaded rod and extends from the outer plate. The cam handle assembly turns the threaded rod in the nut to adjust the distance between the inner plate and the outer plate until the cut is sealed between the inner plate and the outer plate.

  • Patent number: 11022953
    Abstract: The low profile of the flexible tooling system disclosed allows for flexible tooling to be added to nearly all CNC machines with an accommodating z-axis height and allows easier relocation of the system from one CNC machine to another. The system includes one or more pods, each of the pods of the system replacing the function of four independent actuators of earlier systems but operating with a shared mechanical frame. Arranging the mechanism into groups of four allows for greater density of part support spacing, minimizes cable requirements, and allows for air, vacuum, and vacuum sensor requirements be localized on each pod. The pods allow for part supports to be spaced as close as 6? in the x and y axis. An increased variable position assembly density allows for greater flexibility to hold complicated parts.

  • Patent number: 11014320
    Abstract: An apparatus for applying pressure to at least a portion of an edge surface, which bridges opposing faces of a workpiece, comprises a frame, a first roller, a second roller, a rotation-control member, a first biasing member, and a second biasing member. The first roller and the second roller are coupled to the frame, are rotatable relative to the frame, and are translationally fixed relative to the frame. The rotation-control member is movable relative to the frame, controlling rotation of the first roller and the second roller relative to the frame. The first biasing member is configured to operate in compression along a second axis. The second biasing member is positioned, in compression, between the frame and the rotation-control member.
