  • Patent number: 8117772
    Abstract: A ground engaging tool system comprises a ground engaging tool such as a tip, an adapter mounted to or part of a work tool, and a rotating lock member. The ground engaging tool is attached to the adapter, and a post portion of the adapter slides into a slot provided on the lock. The lock is rotated so that the entrance to the slot is blocked and the post cannot slide out of the slot. The lock in this position is in a locking position, and the retention of the post in the slot of the lock retains the ground engaging tool to the adapter.

  • Publication number: 20120039733
    Abstract: Rotary piston steam engine with equal double rotary pistons is provided with a balanced rotary variable inlet cut-off valve for enhanced efficiency. The exhaust steam from the primary expansion is routed to secondary expansion avoiding back pressure for additional efficiency. The rotary valve has balanced dual inputs and outputs on opposite sides. The exhaust steam from the primary expansion is taken off when the trailing face of the rotary piston passes the inlet port of the expansion chamber housing, the exhaust outlet secondary expansion being placed approximately 180 degrees from the primary expansion inlet in the curved portion of the expansion chamber housing wherein back pressure is not imparted to the primary expansion.
