Abstract: In a hydraulic double-acting hydropneumatic pressure multiplying device suited for generating hydraulic pressure, and comprising a cylinder within which a piston is slidably mounted. The multiplying device is capable of generating hydraulic pressure in both the backward and forward strokes of the piston within the cylinder. For this purpose, the cylinder is closed at the bottom by a lower cap having an upwardly extending plunger received within a portion extending upwardly from the piston. The cylinder also provides an upper cap with a dome and the upwardly extending portion of the piston is reciprocating within this dome, thus defining between the portion of the piston and the dome a first pressure generating chamber, and within the upwardly extending portion of the piston and the plunger of the lower cap a second pressure generating chamber for obtaining hydraulic pressure in both of the strokes of the piston.

Abstract: An improved torque control mechanism for a rotary vane, air motor tool includes acceleration and speed responsive slidable elements positioned in grooves that lie in a plane transverse to the spin axis of the motor and which form an angle with the radii extending from the spin axis. The elements cooperate with a cam plate which operates a fluid supply valve to close off air supply to the tool whenever torque of the tool causes the speed of the motor to decrease below a threshold level. A bypass valve and passage is manually operable to initiate operation of the air motor. An auxiliary low volume, low pressure valve and passage permits an operator to provide minor adjustments of the orientation of the output shaft of the tool. For reverse operation, the speed and acceleration control is eliminated by operation of a reverse operation control mechanism.

Each axle differential assembly is rotatably supported within a housing by a pair of tapered roller bearings. The outer race of each bearing is located within an end of the carrier, while the inner race is positioned on a reduced diameter hub of a bearing retainer threaded into an opening in the housing.

Abstract: A cable lubricating device (1) including a split housing (2). Lubricant (25) is introduced into the housing through a vertically oriented orifice (6), the cable (37) advancing in a generally horizontal direction. A coupling adaptor (59) permits withdrawl of lubricant by a standard fitting (64) without danger of the collapse of hose (56) even at high lubricant discharge pressures. A series of sponges (18, 19) apply lubricant to the cable in a metered fashion. A method is also disclosed wherein lubricant may be "preloaded" into conduit (26) to enhance uniform lubricant distribution.
