Moreover, a user may easily change to different brewing modes via the transverse driver, the longitudinal driver, and a solenoid valve connected to the brewing module.

Abstract: A mounting device and method of mounting an automatic stovetop fire suppressor are provided herein. Stovetop fires are a well-known residential and commercial hazard. Common parts are utilized across the stovetop fire suppressors employed in different stovetop configurations, reducing inventory count. The mount design can be automated for greater efficiency of time and labor and may provide increased production or throughput. A magnet is attached at the factory for the vent hood product, eliminating the need for such assembly by an end user. This attachment also alleviates loss or misplacement of the magnet during unpacking or installation. A threaded insert is staked to the fire suppressor can and affords reliable retention of the magnet to the fires suppressor can. The present designs enables formation of a consistent vent area in the fire suppressor can.

A shoe is further provided and has a pair of supplemental contact surfaces that are biased against the stud ball. The shoe provides the stud with a predetermined rotational torque and also adjusts for wear in the assembly to maintain the performance of the socket assembly.

Abstract: A forged crankshaft production method includes a first preforming step, a second preforming step, and a final preforming step. The first pair of dies includes web processing parts to come into contact with portions to be formed into arms and portions to be formed into weights integrated with the arms. Each of the web processing parts includes an arm processing part and a weight processing part. The arm processing part and the weight processing part form a recessed portion, and the width of the open side of the weight processing part becomes greater with increasing distance from the bottom of the recessed portion. Accordingly, in the blank, volume can be distributed between a portion to be formed into an arm and a portion to be formed into a weight integrated with the arm, and the material yield rate can be improved.

Abstract: A forged crankshaft production method includes a first preforming step, a second preforming step, and a final preforming step. In the first preforming step, sectional areas of portions to be formed into pins and sectional areas of portions to be formed into journals are decreased, whereby flat portions are formed, and the portion to be formed into the pin located at a second position is decentered. In the second preforming step, a portion to be formed into the pin located at a first position is decentered, and a portion to be formed into the pin located at a third position is decentered to a side opposite to the portion to be formed into the pin located at the first position. In a blank obtained thereby, portions to be formed into pins have been reduced and decentered, and the material yield rate can be improved.

Abstract: A replacement ball joint assembly (10) adapted to be pressed into a previously used and possibly distorted receiving hole (26) in a suspension component such as a control arm (28). A socket housing (12) of the assembly (10) includes a plurality of generally annular, concentric knurls (36) each having a respective crest portion (38) and separated one from another by intervening relief grooves (40). The crest portions (38) of the knurls (36) may be tapered so as to provide a lead-in feature to minimize misalignment during a press-in installation operation. The knurls (36) are preferably softer than the control arm material so that they yield during press-in rather than further disfiguring or enlarging the receiving hole (26). Displaced material from the crest portions (38) of the knurls (36) flows into the relief grooves (40).

Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing ring-shaped members at a good yield and high production efficiency. To achieve this object, the following is performed. A single (a sequence of) forging produces a joined body formed by radially coupling four cylindrical portions with different inner diameter sizes. A cylindrical member that has the largest inner diameter size and a cylindrical member that has the third largest inner diameter size after the forging are employed as ring-shaped members without change. A rolling process is performed on respective cylindrical member that has the smallest inner diameter size and cylindrical member that has the second largest inner diameter size to obtain ring-shaped members. Thus, two sets of ring-shaped members are obtained as two sets of inner rings and outer rings.

Abstract: In a method for folding a side airbag a first material layer and a second material layer are connected along a first edge portion by a first seam and connected along second edge portions by a second seam perpendicular to the first seam to bound a chamber. The two material layers are placed flat upon one another and a region of the second seam is slipped in a first direction inwards while forming a tip. A tip-distal end of the first and second material layers is folded several times in the first direction and the tip is folded, with the folded-over portion being slipped in the first direction inwardly. A gas generator is inserted in the first direction into the two material layers; and roll folding is carried out from an end in opposition to the gas generator in a second direction in transverse relation to the first direction.
