Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming attachment pads on a panel for attachment of a clinch nut thereto. The panel is formed between a forming die and a fixed anvil, which occupies a predefined net reference position. A face plate simultaneously “finds” the panel and is mechanically locked into position using a novel force applying device. The face plate maintains the location of the surface metal around the forming die, thereby forming a raised pad at the predefined net reference position. The novel force applying device includes self-contained piston modules positioned in tandem. Each module includes a housing having a void and a piston mounted within the void. The piston includes a driven and drive surfaces, wherein fluid pressure acts against the driven surface to drive the piston in an advanced direction such that the drive surface of the piston abuts another piston for cumulative effect.

Abstract: A cold rolling method for performing a series of processes including rolling and cutting of a workpiece in succession, wherein tensile forces are applied to the workpiece during processes from the rolling to straightening. To eliminate the processes of annealing, pickling and chemical conversion coating to accomplish cost reduction and energy saving. To reduce material loss to 5% or lower. To decrease dimensional variation among workpieces (within 0.05 mm or lower) and improve straightness of the rolled workpiece including end parts thereof after cutting (final precision of 0.1 mm).

Abstract: Boiler tubes are removed from a boiler vessel without damaging the vessel by severing the boiler tube near the exterior periphery of the vessel, and using a piloted rotary cutting tool fixtured with respect to the longitudinal axis of the severed boiler tube to remove all but a very thin shell of the severed tube. The rotary cutting tool is then withdrawn, and the remaining thin shell of the boiler tube is manually peeled away from the periphery of the boiler vessel opening. In a preferred implementation, the rotary cutting tool is annular, and a tapered cylindrical pilot having an outside diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the expanded portion of the boiler tube is retractably mounted within the annulus of the cutting tool.

Abstract: A guide tool for organizing and identifying telecommunications cables during network cabling installation. Said guide tool is comprised of a solid, flexible material with multiple openings arranged in a curvilinear pattern around an arch. Cables are placed through the openings and pulled a desired distance. The guide tool is then slid by hand along the cables and the cables are secured in a bundle as they emerge from the back of the guide tool. Upon reaching the desired distance, cables are removed and a subsequent set is placed through the openings. The arch is positioned so that the secured bundle of the initial set passes through the arch. This placement maintains the guide tool on substantially the same path as the initial set, enabling the user to secure the subsequent set along substantially the same path as the initial set. This process is repeated for remaining set.
