  • Patent number: 6786313
    Abstract: A rotational control apparatus (10) includes multiple facings (274-276) rotatable with and axially slideable relative to a mount (124) and which sandwich multiple friction plates (252, 253) rotatable with and axially slideable relative to a hub (12). To create turbulent air flow, the friction plates (252, 253) include an undulating outer circumferential edge (258) and a plurality of passages (260) in the interface portion and overlapping the inner peripheries (282) of the facings (274-276). An automotive clutch release type bearing (290) directly abuts between a piston (40) and the friction facing (274) and is encapsulated in the piston cavity (36) and a cavity (277) formed in the friction facing (274), with the friction facing (274) engaging the axial end (34) of the air chamber (24) when the facings (274-276) and the friction plates (252, 253) are disengaged. In the preferred form, the air chamber (24) and the mount (124) are of the same geometry and are machined from identical castings.

  • Patent number: 6742691
    Abstract: A nail stapler includes a gun and a magazine for receiving and supplying staple nails to the gun. The gun includes a shell, a solenoid received in the shell, a puncher received in the shell for movement from an original position to a punching position due to attraction by the solenoid, a pin secured to the puncher and inserted through the solenoid, a spring compressed between a portion of the solenoid and a portion of the puncher, and a security device received in the shell for buffering the puncher when the puncher is pushed from the punching position to the original position by the spring. The security device includes an elastic end for contact with the puncher. The nail elastic end of the security device includes a plurality of elastic elements. The puncher defines a cavity with a wall for contact with the elastic elements. The shell includes two halves each including a retainer formed on an internal face. The security device defines a groove for receiving the retainers of the halves of the shell.
