Abstract: Embodiments herein are directed to a linear accelerator assembly for an ion implanter. In some embodiments, a LINAC may include a coil resonator and a plurality of drift tubes coupled to the coil resonator by a set of flexible leads.

Abstract: A wheel handling apparatus has an upright frame movably supporting a carrier connected to a wheel holder and a power unit for operating the wheel holder. A winch mounted on the carrier is used to move the carrier along the frame. The wheel holder has a body rotatably mounted on the carrier and a cone head connected to the power unit. The body supports arms that are moved into engagement with a wheel when the head is moved by the power unit into the body.

Abstract: An expandable joiner is used to secure tubular frame members of a pickup truck box rack in end-to-end relationship. The joiner is adaped to be located in adjacent end sections of the tubular members. The joiner has a longitudinal channel separating a pair of jaws. The jaws have adjacent spaced surfaces providing the longitudinal channel. Each spaced surface has a plurality of longitudinal grooves therein. Screws threadably engage the jaws longitudinal grooves to expand the joiner to releasably couple the frame members in end-to-end relationship.

Abstract: An apparatus for spreading the bead of a pneumatic tire from a rim has a double acting piston and cylinder assembly that moves to an extended spread position and a retracted position. The piston and cylinder assembly has a cylinder, a piston slideably disposed in the cylinder and a piston rod connected to the cylinder. A first jaw connected to the piston rod is adapted to engage the rim supporting the tire. A second jaw is secured to the cylinder for engagement with the bead of the tire. A rod and tube guide structure connected to the first jaw in the cylinder maintains the jaws in longitudinal alignment during the extension and contraction of the piston and cylinder assembly. A control valve mounted on the cylinder has a pair of valving members interconnected with a pivoted beam so that the valving members function together to selectively move the jaws to an expanded spreading position and a retracted position.

Abstract: A rack assembly having a plurality of tubular members adapted to be mounted on a pickup truck box. The sides of the rack assembly taper upwardly and outwardly to increase accessibility to items contained in the truck box. A plurality of tubular joiners located within adjacent end sections of the tubular members releasably couple the members in end-to-end relationship. The outer surface of each joiner has a circumferential annular groove intersecting at least one longitudinal groove adapted to cooperate with an inwardly extended tab provided on one of the end sections to lock the tubular members together.

Abstract: A reversible seat located in a vehicle for seating passengers in a forward direction or alternatively in a rearward direction. The seat apparatus has a frame carrying a backrest cushion and a seat cushion. Two pairs of legs attach the frame to a support secured to the floor of the vehicle. A releasable lock assembly has upright support members which engage pins in the legs to hold the frame in a first seating position and in a second seating position. A release arm connected to one of the legs is operable on application of force thereto to move the members from the pins whereby the frame can be moved to its second seating position.
