Patent number: 6286197Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an apparatus and method for removing a drive coupling component from an oil burner unit housing. A drive coupling comprises a first drive coupling end fitting disposed on an oil pump shaft, a second drive coupling end fitting disposed on a motor shaft and a drive coupling connector which connects the first and second drive coupling end fittings. The apparatus comprises a handle having a proximal and a distal end, a front wall contiguous with the distal end of said handle and including a proximal exterior surface and a distal interior surface. A receiver for receiving at least one drive coupling component is contiguous with the interior surface of the front wall. An engagement member, which engages a distal end of a second drive coupling end fitting, is contiguous with the distal end of the receiver.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2000Date of Patent: September 11, 2001Inventors: Nikolay Polkhovskiy, Alan Greenwood

Patent number: 4957676Abstract: Detaching a cured tire from mold sections of a tire mold during opening of the mold by communicating air under pressure into the space between the mold sections and confining the air in this space with a sleeve member supported on the upper mold section and slidably urged into sealing engagement with the lower mold section. Air under pressure is then communicated from the space between the mold sections to the spaces between the cured tire surface and the molding surfaces of the upper and lower mold sections to detach the tire. Sealing rings on the sleeve and on the upper mold section prevent leakage of the air under pressure from the space between the mold section. Spring means between the upper mold section and the sleeve member provide extension of the sleeve member into sealing engagement with the lower mold section.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 1989Date of Patent: September 18, 1990Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventor: Alan Greenwood

Patent number: 4715577Abstract: Injection molding a tread on an annular tire casing (44) positioned in a mold (10') by introducing a fluid molding compound (76',78') at high pressures and high temperatures into a tread molding space (105) through runner passages (114) extending from an edge (116) to a centerplane (20'--20') of the mold (10') and having gates (118) opening into the tread molding space (105). Alternatively the runner passages (56,58) may be defined by annular runner surfaces (60,62,64,66) in communication with the tread molding space (48) through annular gates (52,54). The fluid molding compound (76,78) may be ejected from annular transfer recesses (68,70) in the mold (10) by squeeze rings (84,86) movable into the transfer recesses (68,70) to introduce the fluid molding compound (76,78) into the runner passages (56,58).Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1986Date of Patent: December 29, 1987Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Alan Greenwood, Norbert Majerus

Patent number: 4316710Abstract: A duplex extruder head for receiving extrudate from each of two extruders to deliver a composite unitary extrudate such as tire tread stock has a cavity plug or vee-block insert secured in an open top channel-shaped receiver without bolts or hinges by a pair of slidable clamps. The head also has a transverse slot for slidably receiving a die assembly endwise into the slot. The die assembly is then elevated to operating position and securely clamped by a pair of wedge-like gibs. Clamping of either the insert or the die assembly is effected by hydraulic cylinder or equivalent means. The foregoing abstract is not to be taken as limiting the invention of this application, and in order to understand the full nature and extent of the technical disclosure of this application, reference must be made to the accompanying drawing and the following detailed description.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1980Date of Patent: February 23, 1982Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventor: Alan Greenwood

Patent number: 4124346Abstract: A die clamp fixing an extruder final product profile die is secured relative to an extruder die head vertical front face and conveniently removed or interchanged. The die clamp swings about a horizontal pin to a horizontal position where the final die can be lifted freely from or placed on the clamp. The arrangement provides for a flow distributing insert readily removed or interchanged in like manner.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 1977Date of Patent: November 7, 1978Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Alan Greenwood, Tim W.
