  • Patent number: 5941654
    Abstract: A bus bar panel system utilizes a quick acting and simplified fastening system for making connections. The bus bar is preferably pre-perforated along the edges, although holes may be drilled at the time of fastening. The fastening system uses a stud having threads on one end for receiving the usual washers and nut. On the other end, usually away from the installer, the stud is provided with flats which engage an open slot or yoke on a keeper clip. The clip has a gauge flange to engage the edge of the bar or clamp through which the stud extends. The transverse dimensions of the open slot are related to the flats and the length of the slot to the distance of the perforations from the edge of the bar. The clip also includes a spring section which grabs the end of the stud holding the clip in place so that the installer has both hands free to secure the nut and washers.

  • Patent number: 5118250
    Abstract: A fluid motor includes a rotatable shaft and at least one disk attached to the shaft. An axial groove on the surface of the shaft forms a channel for communicating pressurized fluid into a receiving chamber in the disk. At least one outlet channel extends from the receiving chamber to a periphery of the disk. A part of the outlet channel defines a reactive channel across all or part of the width of the disk. Fluid from the receiving chamber is exhausted through the outlet channel to a chamber in an exhaust cage which surrounds the disk.

  • Patent number: 4530158
    Abstract: The device comprises a body having a longitudinal central bore for passing a probe therethrough intended to penetrate into the hole to be tested. The probe is fixed to the body by a matching socket having a locking screw. A ring is slidably mounted on the body, and secured against rotation by a screw engaged in a longitudinal groove of the body. A spring pushes the ring back with respect to the body, the movement being limited by a stop. The front part of the ring receives an insert stop coming to bear against the outer face of the workpiece to be tested. At the end of penetration of the probe into the hole, the rear part of the ring comes opposite an annular mark formed in the body.
