  • Patent number: 7891060
    Abstract: A clamp for an oil well line is disclosed, the clamp having a casing, typically a pair of wedge members defining a line receiving recess between them and wherein the wedge member are movable within a channel in the casing to move together and grip the line when axial force is applied to the line. The radially outermost faces of the wedge members are typically shaped to match the taper of the channel in the casing, and so are pressed together as they move axially down the tapered channel. One wall of the channel is typically movable to disengage from the wedge member when the gripping force is to be removed. The line-receiving recess can be in the form of an arc or a dog leg, and can be lined with a high friction material or a softer material to minimize damage to the line by the clamping force.

  • Patent number: 7415910
    Abstract: A continuous screw tightening machine including a driving machine (4) equipped with a grip handle (2); a tightening machine main body (3) with which a bit (7) for screw tightening is removably connected to the driving machine (4) through a reduction gear and a clutch; and a screw feed mechanism through which the bit (7) is rotatably inserted and which sequentially feeds a screw to the position where a tightening operation is to be carried out by the bit 7. The screw tightening machine also includes a screw feed mechanism main body (6) which is connected to the front of the tightening machine main body (3) so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction, a screw supply mechanism (110) which continuously supplies a number of single-part screws in sequence to the screw feed mechanism under the force of gravity, and a tip block (12) which is connected to the screw feed mechanism main body, providing a surface to be contacted with an object.

  • Patent number: 7077058
    Abstract: A fruit and vegetable peeler which is suitably used in general homes for peeling a small amount of fruits and vegetables, which is small-sized and light-weight, and which is further convenient in carrying and storage. A pair of clamp members are supported by a housing to lie in opposed relation, and a handle is fixed to a handle shaft extended externally of the housing. The housing accommodates a speed increasing gear mechanism for transmitting rotation of the handle shaft to a cup-shaped rotating blade, a transmission gear mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the handle shaft to the rotary shaft of the clamp member, and a rotating-blade swinging mechanism for converting the rotation of the handle shaft into a swing motion of the rotating blade along the circumference of a fruit/vegetable.
