Chien-Hsiang TSAI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10144101
    Abstract: A headstock assembly for a machine tool includes a mount having a female threaded bore, a headstock mounted slidably relative to the machine base, a drive member mounted on the headstock, a spindle, and a spindle extension. The spindle has an intermediate segment disposed in a chamber of the headstock and coupled to be driven by the drive member so as to permit the spindle to rotate about a spindle axis. The spindle extension is coupled to be rotatable with the spindle, and has a male threaded segment configured to be in threaded engagement with the female threaded bore so as to permit the headstock to be linearly moved relative to the mount.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9308593
    Abstract: An angle-adjustable thread processing machine includes a base, a rocker arm, a rocker-arm toothed wheel, an idle wheel, a driven toothed wheel, and a processing unit. The base includes a power source with a drive shaft. The rocker arm is fixed to the drive shaft which rotates about a drive axis. The rocker-arm toothed wheel is pivotally sleeved on the drive shaft. The idle wheel is pivotally disposed on the rocker arm and engaged with the rocker-arm toothed wheel. The driven toothed wheel is pivotally disposed on the rocker arm to engage with the idle wheel and rotates around a driven axis which is located a first distance D1 from the drive axis. The processing unit includes a machining spindle fixed to the driven toothed wheel, and a machining head which rotates around a machining-head axis which is located a second distance D2 from the driven axis, and D1=D2.

  • Patent number: 9144836
    Abstract: A feeding device includes a fixing base. A motor is fixed to the fixing base. The motor has an output axle. A transmission axle is fixedly connected to the output axle. The feeding device further includes a feeding block having a side fixedly connected to the transmission axle. The feeding block has a feeding notch. The feeding notch is formed around the transmission axle circumferentially. Hence, once a slender material enters the rotational space of the feeding block, the motor drives the feeding block to rotate, whereas the slender material is pressed by the feeding notch of the feeding block and sent out as a result of the continuous rotation of the feeding block. Hence, the feeding device not only enables continuous material conveyance but also allows the slender material to be conveyed smoothly even when the slender material is slightly bent or deformed.
