Abstract: A hollow shaped socket insert adapter rotatively driven by a single socket driver for tightening, loosing, and removing various sizes of nuts/bolts. The socket insert adapter defined by an outer configuration that includes a plurality of outer flat walls having a shape and size to conform to and to fit into a cavity of a socket driver body of the socket driver, the outer configuration defining a plurality of outer flat walls and further defining one or more rounded outer corners. The socket insert adapter further defined by an inner configuration having one or more inner flat walls and one or more rounded inner corners. The hollow shaped socket insert adapter may include a rim on one end that enhances structural integrity, inhibits disengagement with a socket driver, and facilitates manipulation of the socket insert adapter.

Abstract: A pneumatic tensioning device (10) maintains a desired tension in a thread (18) as it is fed from a spool to a knitting or fabric weaving machine. A first tubular member (40) has an inner passageway (42) extending the length of the tube (40) that permits thread advancement therethrough. A second tubular member (46) surrounds the first tubular member (40) so that the inner walls of the second member and the outer walls of the first member define an outer passageway (48). An airflow is directed through the outer passageway in a direction that is the same as the direction of thread advancement. An orifice (54) communicates the airflow from the outer passageway (48) into the inner passageway (42) in a manner so that the direction of the airflow is reversed. The airflow thus flows in a direction that is opposite to thread advancement, wherein such opposing airflow causes a certain amount of tension in the thread.
