  • Patent number: 11759914
    Abstract: A vise assembly is disclosed. In one example, the vise assembly includes a vise body and a jaw pusher movably coupled to the vise body. The jaw pusher includes a jaw insert having a first top edge and a second top edge, where the first top edge is an outward extending radius edge. A jaw is provided having a jaw top and a jaw bottom, the jaw bottom including a recess for receiving the jaw insert, the recess including a ramped surface extending longitudinally along a top edge for receiving the jaw insert radius edge and wherein the positioned on the jaw pusher without the use of tools.

  • Publication number: 20050047935
    Abstract: The subject system provides a use of clean and environmentally friendly steam technology in place of a compression ignition system. The system used a free piston pump having a double acting pump. A first valve and a second valve are actuated by steam or hydraulically driven providing a fast response. And, each of the first valve and the second valve can be adapted to operate as a 3-way valve having an open position a closed position and an exhaust position. The design allows an improvement over existing compression ignition systems and can utilize a super low emission external combustion system as a power source which operates at a greater efficiency and decreases fuel consumption via regeneration. The present system can expand the steam until the quality drops below 1 into the region of saturated vapor. This adds to the potential efficiency by extracting more energy from the steam in the system. The system converts steam power to hydraulic power.

  • Publication number: 20030201344
    Abstract: A nozzle assembly includes a nozzle body with a valve seat and a nozzle member that is partially positioned within the nozzle body. At least one of the nozzle member and the nozzle body defines a supply passage. There is a segment of the supply passage positioned above the valve seat and has a spiral shape. The nozzle member moves between a first position, a second position, and a third position. When the nozzle member is in the first position, a lower portion of the nozzle member is in contact with the valve seat and the supply passage is closed. When the nozzle member is in the second position and the third position, a lower portion of the nozzle member is out of contact with the valve seat and the supply passage is opened. When the nozzle member is in the second position, fuel is injected at a relatively high included angle. When the nozzle member is in the third position, fuel is injected at a relatively low included angle.
