  • Flexible cable support and guide device
    Patent number: 6516602
    Abstract: A flexible support and guide device includes a movable cable holder wound around a pair of pulleys rotatably supported on opposite ends of a support rod. The cable holder is comprised of a looped belt trained around the pulleys, and a pair of flexible tubes carried on an outer circumferential surface of the belt with ends of the tubes confronting each other mutually, the tubes accommodating within them cables. The cable holder has a movable end formed jointly by one pair of mutually confronting ends of the two tubes for enabling connection of the cables to a mobile machine or a movable machine part, and a fixed end formed jointly by the other pair of mutually confronting ends of the tubes for enabling connection of the cables to a fixed external power source.

  • Speed increasing and accumulating conveyor chain
    Patent number: 5746304
    Abstract: The speed increasing and accumulating conveyor chain of the present invention can convey a conveyed object faster than the running speed of the chain, and keep the conveyed object stopped while continuously running the chain itself. The load roller with a larger diameter and the running roller with a smaller diameter are coaxially and rotatably mounted on the connecting pin, which is secured to the link plate, respectively. The frictional material is mounted on the load surface of the load roller, wherein the frictional material provides the load surface of the load roller with a larger frictional force than that of rotatable surface between the load roller and the running roller.
