  • Patent number: 4678381
    Abstract: A Portable Machining Turntable (PMT) (1) used in combination with a milling, grinding or drilling machine (101) to allow both single and compound angles to be worked. The PMT (1) is comprised of an integral housing (2) enclosing an electric stepping motor (23) that through two pulleys (22), (24) and a timing belt (27) drives a worm drive assembly (17). The worm (21) drives a worm gear (43) that rotates a rotary head (36). The power to operate the motor (23) is supplied and controlled by a conventional numerical control system. However, the PMT (1) includes a mechanical override that allows the rotary head (36) to be manually rotated. To operate the PMT (1) it is mounted to a mill bed by standard clamp blocks inserted into hold-down slots (14) located on the lower walls of the housing (2). The work piece is then attached to the rotary head (36) and the head is rotated to the desired work angle.

  • Patent number: 4407275
    Abstract: A semi-rigid annular ring having individual expandable chambers on the internal wall that are distended separately by fluid pressure. A multi-port flexible conduit connected to the ring having individual ports for each chamber. Fluid pressure is supplied through the conduit manually by a bulb or electrically by a pump through a circular valve plate allowing the chambers to expand and contract in linear sequence. When a penis is placed into the ring and fluid pressure is applied, blood is forced to the end of the organ through the successive expansion and contraction of the bellows in wave fashion mechanically creating an erect condition of the organ.
