Abstract: A biasing assembly for a punching device that includes a punch support member adapted to support a punch and including a head portion and a main portion extending from the head portion. The main portion has a recessed surface. A retaining member is coupled to the punch support member with the punch support member being slidable with respect to the retaining member. A coupling member is disposed between the main portion of the punch support member and the retaining member. A portion of the coupling member engages the recessed surface. A biasing member is supported between the head portion of the punch support member and the retaining member. The punch support member is movable between at least first and second positions with respect to the coupling member.

Abstract: An adjustable punch tool assembly has quick release mechanisms which provide for rapid removal and replacement of the stripper plate and punch without the use of tools. The stripper plate quick release mechanism includes slides mounted for axial movement along a front end of the guide. The lower portion of each slide has an opening provided therethrough for receiving a spring-loaded button protruding from the outer surface of the guide. Ball bearings are provided for radial movement between the circumferential groove in the outer edge of the stripper plate and the annular, sloped grooves located along the upper, inner surfaces of the slides.

Abstract: A testing apparatus of a steering system is provided to correctly detect load in a direction in which steering reaction force acts, the load being applied to the steering system. A tie rod connected to a rack of the steering system is connected to a steering-angle vibrating unit via a torque lever, relay links and a drive link. A front link of the drive link and a link disposed parallel to the torque lever are provided in a swingable manner. Both ends of each of the relay links are respectively connected to the torque lever and the link disposed parallel to the torque lever, and the torque lever is swingable with respect to the link in a direction in which road-surface reaction force acts. Transducers are provided at intermediate portions of the relay links, respectively. A vertically-vibrating unit is connected via the torque lever to the rack.
