  • Publication number: 20110319829
    Abstract: A patient-wearable system includes a drainage/supply mechanism having a proximal and distal tube, and a twist isolation mechanism defining a twisting force diffusion path for limiting transmitting twisting force between the proximal and distal tubes during passing fluids between an intraluminal device and a fluid reservoir. The twist isolation mechanism includes a mounting component, a control component, and a conduit component, the control component including first and second load reacting outboard body edges and the conduit component defining a middle lumen configured to fluidly connect with each of the proximal and distal tubes via proximal and distal couplings, and being mounted to the control component.

  • Publication number: 20070107274
    Abstract: A ground engaging tool retainer assembly includes three components: a pin, a washer, and a bolt. The bolt includes a threaded shank. When assembled, the threaded shank passes through a central bore in the washer and engages a matching threaded bore in the pin. The washer is trapped in a pocket between the ground engaging tool and the work machine. When the bolt and pin are attached to the washer, they are also trapped on the ground engaging tool and the work machine. When installed, the pin acts as a shear pin preventing the ground engaging tool from being removed from the work machine.

  • Publication number: 20070057575
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a track-type work machine including a vertical idler adjuster, a track-type work machine including a roller frame and an idler mounted proximate an end of the roller frame. The idler includes an idler shaft, and at least one support block supports the idler shaft. One or both of the idler shaft and the at least one support block includes a plurality of assembly orientations corresponding to different idler heights relative to the roller frame.

  • Publication number: 20060108870
    Abstract: A track type work machine is provided including a roller frame having a rotatable idler mounted at an end thereof. A gas spring is operable to absorb selected loads on the idler, and is isolated from loads transverse to a reciprocation axis of the gas spring by a recoil system. A method of providing for load absorption from the idler is also provided. The method includes positioning a gas spring between the idler and a roller frame of the work machine, and operably coupling the idler to the gas spring to selectively transmit loads from the idler thereto.

  • Publication number: 20060049692
    Abstract: A work machine, and a work machine idler mounting assembly is provided, including a frame, a mounting member proximate an end of the frame, an idler support block adjacent the mounting member. At least one removeable spacer is positionable between the idler support block and the frame to adjust relative positions thereof.

  • Publication number: 20050152745
    Abstract: A compactor tooth has a replaceable, ground engaging wear member mounted to a mounting block carried on the cylindrical exterior surface of a landfill-compactor wheel of a compactor machine. The mounting block has an external surface formed to engage a complementary internal cavity of the wear tip and includes a pair of circumferentially spaced sides oriented not more than 5 degrees from perpendicular to the cylindrical exterior surface of the wheel. The replaceable tip has a body with an exterior ground-engaging surface, a mounting end and a mounting-base receiving cavity opening through the mounting end. The cavity is configured to receive the mounting block thereinto and has a pair of circumferentially spaced side surfaces configured to be in close abutting relationship to a respective one of the circumferentially spaced sides of said mounting block.

  • Publication number: 20050055853
    Abstract: A tip assembly has a replaceable wear member mounted to an adapter carried on the cutting edge of an implement of an earth-working machine. The adapter has an external surface formed to engage a complementary internal cavity of the wear member and includes a pair of transversely spaced sides at least one of the transversely spaced sides include a guide arrangement and a retainer pocket positioned therein. The wear member has a body with an exterior ground-engaging surface, a mounting end, an adapter receiving cavity and at least one ear extending from the mounting end. The at least one ear is configured to be received by the guide arrangement when the wear member is positioned on the adapter.
