  • Patent number: 11312459
    Abstract: A device to support an outboard motor in a raised position, the device including an elongated support body having first and second ends, a coupling member provided at the first end of the support body and configured to be removably coupled to a stern bracket, and a pair of stabilizing members coupled proximate the second end of the support body, wherein the second end of the support body is configured to contact a motor bracket to maintain the outboard motor in the raised position, and wherein the pair of stabilizing members are configured to be fixable in a position to contact opposite sides of the outboard motor to stabilize the outboard and inhibit lateral movement.

  • Patent number: 10710245
    Abstract: Presently disclosed systems and methods provide for a quick-change clamp arm that may be coupled to and removed from a robot end effector via a quick-change feature coupled to the robot end effector. Systems may include a plurality of such quick-change clamp arms that each may be coupled to a given robot end effector such that when one is removed, a different respective quick-change clamp arm may be coupled to the robot end effector. The robot end effector may be configured to perform a task to one side of a workpiece, while the quick-change clamp arm applies a stabilizing normal force to the other side of the workpiece. Due to the interchangeable nature of presently disclosed quick-change clamp arms, systems may reduce the number of robot end effectors required for a given manufacturing process. Related methods of removing and coupling quick-change clamp arms to robot end effectors may be automated.

  • Patent number: 10648213
    Abstract: A hinge includes a fixed component defining a vertical axis. The fixed component includes a first support surface with a circular lug path and a first recess formed in the first support surface at an end of the circular lug path. The hinge also includes a pivotable component pivotable about the vertical axis and translationally movable along the vertical axis. The pivotable component includes a first lug extending from the pivotable component in a first direction. The first recess receives and constrains movement of the first lug. The first support surface supports the first lug along the circular lug path and constrains translational movement of the pivotable component in the first direction as the pivotable component pivots about the vertical axis. In the open position, the pivotable component is translationally movable in the first direction and the first lug is receivable into the first recess.
