  • Patent number: 7125323
    Abstract: A clutch device for a rollers' swinging mechanism of a belt sander, which includes a roller set, a swinging gear set, is composed of a control bar, a linking member and a clutch member. The roller set is driven by the swinging gear set to carry out an axial movement. The control bar is set with an eccentric wheel at its lower side, and the eccentric wheel is connected with the linking member, which is pivotally connected with the clutch member at its other end. When the eccentric wheel is driven to turn around, the linking member moves successively the clutch member to work for controlling the swinging gear set to provide two operating models optional for the belt sander.

  • Patent number: 6206763
    Abstract: A brush deburring machine includes upper and lower synchronized dogged conveyors that translate workpieces between a pair of cylindrical wire brushes to remove burrs from the ends of the workpieces. A first support surface is defined on each of the dogs of the upper conveyor, and a second support surface is defined on each of the dogs of the lower conveyor. Workpieces are retained between the first and second support surfaces to prevent the workpieces from becoming unstable and shifting diagonally between the wire brushes, yet are permitted to rotate with respect to the first and second support surfaces to cause the entire circumference of the ends of the workpieces to be deburred.

  • Patent number: 6018860
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing wire or needles having a taper point and mechanically drilled suture mounting holes in the proximal ends. Needle or wire blanks are cut from a roll of wire and mounted to a carrier strip. The carrier strip and needles are moved through a succession of forming and trimming and grinding stations. The blanks are coined in a coining die to produce lateral wings of constant thickness. The blanks are preferably rotated in the strip while being ground. The strip and needle blanks are then moved to a bank of at least two drills wherein the proximal suture mounting ends of the needles are drilled.

  • Patent number: 5924911
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for grinding of preferably billets, blooms or slabs which are moved in a certain direction on a support. The method means that the grinding is performed in a track which is perpendicular to the travel direction of the billets, blooms or slabs. The invention also relates to an arrangement for performing the method, which arrangement is characterized in that the means carrying the grinding wheel is arranged on a table (14) which is moveable forward and backward in the travel direction of the billets, blooms or slabs (1), which table (14) in its turn is arranged on a frame or the like (16) which is moveable forward and backward in a direction which is perpendicular to the travel direction of the billets, blooms or slabs.

  • Patent number: 5361544
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for performing working operations, such as grinding, polishing and burnishing, on a workpiece. A first and a second working tool are disposed for working movement in, respectively a first and second axis in a first plane and a second plane. The first and second working tools are operated at right angles to one another. The working tools perform work on the workpiece sequentially such that only one of the working tools is in contact with the workpiece at a given time. In this manner, any residual stresses in the workpiece generated by either one of the working tools will be cancelled out by the other one of the working tools. In this fashion, internal stresses in the workpiece are relieved for preventing any flow or deformation of the material in the workpiece during operations thereon.
