  • Patent number: 11964368
    Abstract: An impact tool includes a housing that includes a motor housing portion, a front housing portion coupled to the motor housing portion, and a D-shaped handle portion extending from the motor housing portion in a direction opposite the front housing portion. The impact tool includes an electric motor supported in the motor housing portion, a battery pack supported by the housing for providing power to the motor, and a drive assembly for converting a continuous torque input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece capable of developing at least 1,700 ft-lbs of fastening torque.

  • Patent number: 8870136
    Abstract: The subject invention is a clamp that has two halves of an annular ring hingedly connected at one end and capable of being securely fastened to each other at the opposite end. The annular ring is sized to fit tightly around a vertical support post. An upper surface of the annular ring has an upper annular channel, while the lower surface of the annular ring has a lower annular channel. When the clamp is fixed to the vertical support post, a horizontal support adaptor may fit into both the upper and lower annular channels. A resilient engagement strip or button on the adaptor is placed into contact with the lower annular channel in this position and frictionally engages the lower annular channel to prevent lateral movement of the adaptor on the annular ring until such time as the adaptor may be securely attached to the annular ring.

  • Publication number: 20110139031
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for connecting a rail bogie to a bimodal hauling vehicle and converting the vehicle for use over either a railway or roadway are disclosed. An illustrative system for connecting a rail bogie to a bimodal hauling vehicle includes a receiver unit coupled to the vehicle. A king pin and bogie locking mechanism on the receiver unit can be used to releasably secure the rail bogie to the receiver unit during transitioning of the vehicle from a highway mode of operation to a railway mode of operation. The bogie locking mechanism can include a number of lock jaw members and a lock jaw actuator, which can be engaged to actuate the lock jaw members between an unlocked position and a locked position about a number of locking pins on the rail bogie frame.

  • Patent number: 5503821
    Abstract: An improved process for the recovery of high grade energy from a contact sulfuric acid manufacturing process. Improvements include: injection of steam between an intermediate catalyst stage and a heat recovery absorption tower and/or a heat exchanger for transfer of heat from conversion gas to high pressure boiler feed water; use of a condensing economizer for recovery of the vapor phase energy of formation of sulfuric acid from a wet conversion gas; and use of heat recovery system absorption acid for preheating air to a sulfur burner, the heat transferred to the combustion air being recovered at high pressure and temperature in a waste heat boiler.
