  • Patent number: 11883934
    Abstract: A tool assembly is provided for removing a component from a carrier. The component circumscribes and is mounted on the carrier. The tool assembly includes a tool head, an adaptor and an actuator. The tool head is configured to couple to the component. The adaptor extends longitudinally along a centerline between an adaptor first end and an adaptor second end. The adaptor is attachable to the tool head at the adaptor first end by a first quick coupler. The actuator includes a housing and a ram. The housing is attachable to the adaptor at the adaptor second end by a second quick coupler. The ram extends longitudinally along the centerline within the adaptor and the tool head to a ram distal end. The ram distal end is configured to engage the carrier.

  • Patent number: 11732614
    Abstract: A fixture assembly includes a support stand, a support platform and a platform adaptor. The support platform is rotatably coupled to the support stand and rotatable about an axis. The support platform extends circumferentially about a centerline angularly offset from the axis. The support platform extends longitudinally along the centerline to a platform top surface. The platform adaptor is disposed on the platform top surface and attached to the support platform. The platform adaptor includes a case receptacle formed by an adaptor top surface and an adaptor shoulder surface. The platform adaptor extends longitudinally along the centerline to the adaptor top surface where the adaptor top surface is configured to longitudinally engage and support the case. The platform adaptor extends radially relative to the centerline to the adaptor shoulder surface where the adaptor shoulder surface is configured to radially engage and position the case on the adaptor top surface.
