  • T-Channel Speed Clamp
    Publication number: 20260226928
    Abstract: A t-channel speed clamp has a jaw assembly that moves inclined linearly relative to the base. A clamping knob is used transversely to secure the base to the work surface and advance the jaw toward the workpiece. The mechanism is comprised of (a) one or more springs to sequence the clamping force of the base to the work surface prior to initiating the clamping force of the jaw on the workpiece and (b) the jaw engages the workpiece either perpendicular or parallel to the work surface, exerting both vertical and horizontal force components on the workpiece.

  • DUAL SEAM ELECTRIC RESISTANCE WELDED TUBES
    Publication number: 20150174632
    Abstract: A method of continuously forming a dual seam welded tubular product includes the steps of providing two coils of sheet metal material, uncoiling the two coils and forming the material into opposing sections, bringing the two opposing sections together at a convergence angle of less than about 4°; and welding the two seams created between the two opposing sections. An apparatus is configured to bring the sections together at a convergence angle less than about 4° to produce the tubular product. The tubular product may have a diameter greater than 26 inches.
