Abstract: A horizontal hinged closure with a large diameter track ring attached directly to the rear of a female threaded head. The threaded female head is designed to removably attach to a male threaded structure. A bearing ring with cam followers that engage the track ring to allow the threaded head to be rotated relative to the male threaded structure to attach and remove the threaded head there from. The bearing ring is attached to a hinge arm that allows the removed threaded head to be moved away from the male threaded structure and then rotated about a vertical axis. Direct attachment of the large diameter track ring to the rear of the threaded head moves the center of gravity forward, resulting in the threaded head remaining essentially vertical when it is removed from the male threaded structure and thereby making it easier to reattach to the male threaded structure.

Abstract: A stabilizer for vertically driven pumps in which a bearing is supported on the drive shaft approximately half way between the pump and the motor. The stabilizer bearing prevents bowing of the drive shaft which would cause considerable wear on the pump packing resulting in leaks. The stabilizer bearing is supported by adjustable arms each of which have an end which is bent to a 90.degree. angle and then twisted. Each of the ends of oppositely disposed support arms are twisted 90.degree., left and right respectively, after being bent so that the arms will counteract any torque on the drive shaft.

Abstract: A bearing take-up apparatus is provided which allows easy removal of a bearing block supported by the bearing take up apparatus. Two slotted end walls extend from a base to support the threaded rod used with the bearing block and to prevent lateral movement of the rod. A covering piece has holes in one of its ends, which line up with a hole in an end wall. A throughbolt secures the covering piece to at least one of the slotted endwalls via holes in the endwalls, so that the throughbolt forms a hinge for the cover piece, when the other end of the covering piece is released. The threaded rod can be lifted and the bearing removed, when the cover piece is hinged upwards, about the throughbolt. The cover piece includes components to hold the threaded rod down when the cover piece is secured at both of its ends.

The top piece is a rectangular member having a male cylindrical surface formed to mate with a female cylindrical groove formed axially with respect to a rotor in the bearing shell, and a female cylindrical surface formed perpendicularly to the male cylindrical surface. A middle piece having a top surface adapted to conform with the female cylindrical surface of the top piece and a flat bottom surface which is mated with the top piece and inserted within a keyway formed in the bearing pedestal. Thereafter, a bottom piece in the form of a variable thickness shim is inserted between the flat bottom surface and the keyway to align the rotor.

Abstract: A telescopic assembly includes a yoke supported for rotation on a stationary member, a shaft fitted in telescoping relation inside the yoke, rotatably supported by a movable bracket and capable of being reciprocated together with the movable bracket relative to the yoke, a screw rotatably retained by a stationary bracket, and a nut threadedly engaged with the screw and fixed to the movable bracket. When the screw is rotated, the nut provided on the movable bracket moves axially along the screw so that the movable bracket is moved toward or away from the stationary bracket. Hence, the shaft supported by the movable bracket is displaced axially forward or backward, depending upon the direction of screw rotation, relative to the yoke, thereby enabling the portion of the shaft projecting from the yoke to be adjusted in length.

Abstract: A watthour meter frame for an electric watthour meter includes pairs of orthogonal machined plane surfaces against which bearings are urged for accurately positioning the ends of a disk shaft of an electric watthour meter. Clearances are provided in the watthour meter frame for machining all pairs of machined surfaces without either changing the cutting tool or rotating the watthour meter frame. Worm gear bearings are similarly positioned in the watthour meter frame against three machined plane surfaces which may be machined in the same operation, and with the same cutting tool, as used in forming the pairs of machined surfaces for the disk shaft bearings. The worm gear bearings include a cylindrical barrel which is resiliently urged into contact with a pair of plane machined surfaces in a bearing well and a positioning flange having a bearing surface which is resiliently urged into a face surface surrounding the bearing well.

Abstract: This is a method for supporting a pump shaft, or the like, within a tubing wherein bearing supports are provided which can be inserted and removed from the tube for maintenance purposes, or the like, with or without disturbing the location of the tube, and wherein the method is practiced by utilizing expanding bushings within the tubing, which bushings will support a shaft extending through the bushings. The bushings are caused to clamp to the internal surface of the tubing by means of an expandable split sleeve as a part of each such bushing which is normally of a smaller size than the interior of the tubing, but which is caused to expand by having a tapered inner surface which is forced upward on a tapered supporting surface by means of a threaded sleeve and, thus, is caused to expand against the interior of the tubing.
