  • Patent number: 4575292
    Abstract: A boring head is retained to a connecting shaft by means of a cylindrical fastening spigot, using a retaining screw with a conical end which engages a conical transverse bore in the spigot such that the boring head is tightened by wedging effect against the connecting shaft. The fastening spigot is provided with a cylindrical transverse bore, at an approximate right angle to the conical transverse bore in the spigot, and a longitudinally displaceable drive pin is supported in the cylindrical transverse bore such that the ends penetrate, with slight play, into recesses in the connecting shaft. During the transmission of torque, the drive pin is automatically centered so that the forces developed are evenly distributed between the two ends of the drive pin, so that the device is particularly suitable for the transmission of high torques, whether of a gradually increasing or an impulse type, and is usable either with a clockwise or a counterclockwise movement.

  • Patent number: 4344574
    Abstract: A cross-flow nebulizer is manufactured from first and second deformable tubular members each having a substantially constant external diameter and a central passage of substantially constant diameter extending from a forward end to a rearward end. A forward end portion of each tubular member is deformed to provide the forward end with an orifice of reduced diameter of desired size, and the forward end portions of the tubular members are positioned in an angular spaced relationship with the orifices closely adjacent. The relative positions of the orifices are adjusted to provide a satisfactory spray when gas is passed through one tubular member and the other tubular member is connected to a source of liquid, and the tubular members are integrally connected to maintain the forward ends in the adjusted position.
