Abstract: An improved shaft safety pneumatic valve system in combination with a pneumatic expanding core shaft, is provided. The valve system provides a threaded air valve with a disk threadingly engaging the threaded air valve and a corresponding adapter fitted onto an air gun and adapted to engage the threaded air valve via the threaded disk. The threaded disk acts as a shroud about the air valve preventing an operator's finger from entering the bearing tube aperture to release air from the air valve.
Abstract: A safety chuck mounted to equipment that process web material is provided. The safety chuck is provided with a die spring connecting a moveable jaw with a spindle, said spring urging the moveable jaw into a fully closed position. A number of magnets mounted on a mounting flange will engage the moveable jaw, overcoming the spring's force and holding the moveable jaw in a fully open position. Rotation of the spindle releases the magnets allowing the spring to force the moveable jaw back into a fully closed position.
