Abstract: An automatic debris removal system for screening an effluent stream. The automatic debris removal system comprises a support frame positioned proximate the effluent stream, a bucket positionably connected to the frame, and a camming system attached to the support frame and the bucket. The bucket includes a screening portion and is positionable within the effluent stream to screen and collect the debris. The bucket is positionable within the support frame, and upon raising the bucket past a selected position, the camming system causes the bucket to rotate and dump the debris held therein.

Abstract: An automatic screening apparatus for removing debris from a liquid stream includes a drive mechanism mounted to a support frame. A screen connects to the support frame and collects debris while allowing the liquid to flow through. The drive mechanism positions and interchangeably couples to a first carriage assembly and a second carriage assembly. The first carriage assembly includes a rake that removes the collected debris from the screen. The second carriage assembly includes a bucket that removes the debris collected from the rake. A plunger directs the debris from the rake into the bucket. At selected intervals, the drive mechanism decouples from the first carriage assembly and couples to the second carriage assembly, whereupon the second carriage assembly is positioned to dump the bucket. After dumping the bucket, the drive shaft is decoupled from the second carriage assembly and coupled to the first carriage assembly, whereupon the cycle is repeated.

Abstract: A clamping device (1), particularly a machine vice (1), has a body element (2), a jaw (3) attached thereto, and an oppositely placed movable jaw, for displacement by a drawbar (4). The drawbar has a compression bar to be arrested at varying distances from the fixed jaw, and a force amplifying arrangement (5) acting on the spindle. The force amplifying arrangement includes at least one cylindrical tube (9) and at least two plungers (10, 11) that are movable in concentric cylinders. Two compression chambers are provided, an outer, low-pressure chamber (12) and a high-pressure chamber (14) acting on the clamping plunger (11) from the direction of the drawbar, wherein a functional connection is established between the two plungers so that at least one rod (18) having a smaller diameter than the diameter of the plungers and connected to the outer compression plunger (10) acts on the high-pressure chamber (14), which is filled with pressurising medium, preferably oil or liquid grease.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tensioning device, in particular a machine vice, with a base body, with a stationary jaw attached thereto and with a movable jaw opposite this, for whose adjustment there is provided a tension rod, wherein the tension rod comprises a support bearing via which the movable jaw is supported by way of a compression rod. The object of the invention is to specify a tensioning device which permits a quick tensioning also of differently dimensioned subjects and furthermore offers the largest possible protection from contamination of the functional parts. This object is achieved in that the movable jaw is formed lockable at various distances to the stationary jaw with the compression rod, preferably by way of clamping bodies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping device (1), particularly a machine vice (1), having a body element (2), a jaw (3) immovably attached thereto, and an oppositely placed movable jaw, for the displacement of which a drawbar (4) is provided, wherein the drawbar (4) is furnished with a bearing member on which the movable jaw is supported by means of a compression bar, and the movable bar is configured so that it may be arrested with the compression bar at varying distances from the fixed jaw, and a force amplifying arrangement (5) acting on the spindle is provided. The object of the present invention is to describe a clamping device that is as compactly configured as possible.
