Abstract: A work piece holder with clamping and rotation mechanisms in a support. A holder or brake exists next to a collet and sleeve assembly to restrain the assembly from rotating. Hydraulic pumps and connections operate on the mechanisms for the clamping and rotating actions. An electronic controller is connected with the mechanisms and operates the system in a sequence for selective machining on the work pieces.
Abstract: An animal collar having both elastic and flexible extendable and contractable characteristics and being made of a silicone rubber. The collar is of a serpentine shape which permits it to flex in the expansion and contraction of the circumference of the collar, and the elastic characteristic permits it to also expand and contract, all to accommodate the neck size of an animal and to support an identification tag.
Abstract: A vise for clamping workpieces of different sizes, and including two adjustable pieces, one of which gives a large adjustment and the other which gives a finer adjustment. A clamping jaw is included, and the adjustment pieces can be set so that there is desired clearance between the jaw and the workpiece prior to applying hydraulic force in the clamping action. Rotation restrictors apply to each of the rotationally adjustable members, and a spring returns the jaw to the unclamped or opened position.
Abstract: A vise having a base piece and an invertible V-block supported both laterally and downwardly on the base piece in either inverted position. A movable jaw operates toward and away from the V-block in distances in accord with the inverted position of the V-block, all to accommodate workpieces of different sizes and with only one invertible V-block which is snugly supported in lateral positions on the base piece and which is supported upwardly by shouldering on the base piece.
Abstract: A collet clamping mechanism having a sleeve with shoulders thereon, and an actuator for forcing against the shoulders for clamping a workpiece in the collet.
Abstract: A vise having a base portion and an upstanding tower thereon and with a movable jaw slidable on the upstanding tower by means of a control screw. Another screw is utilized to hold the upper jaw against the upstanding tower. A pair of V-blocks can be utilized for optimizing the range of utility with regard to sizes of workpieces.
Abstract: A collet clamp and releasing yoke apparatus having a support block and a cylindrical sleeve for receiving a collet. The collet is axially fixed, and the sleeve moves for contracting the collet to clamp a workpiece therein, and a yoke is employed for the clamping and releasing movement of the sleeve. A plurality of these assemblies can be positioned within the block so that a plurality of workpieces can be retained and worked upon.
