  • Apparatus to mechanically load a compression member
    Patent number: 8360094
    Abstract: A compression generator uses a plurality of jackbolts threadedly engaged at a spaced apart relation about a bolt circle in a main core element. The main core element is releasable interlocked by threads, bayonet connection or other form of fasting system with the mounting element forming a fixed part of the mechanical connection. The jackbolts torqued to generate a pushing force in an axial direction for compressing a moveable part of the mechanical connection against a compression seat for forming a mechanical connection between juxtaposition fixed and moveable parts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 3, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2013
    Assignee: Nord-Lock Switzerland GmbH
    Inventors: Allan T. Steinbock, Robert C. Steinbock, Tony Felldin, Gerhard Ploke, Norbert Schneider
