Publication number: 20060197422Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting mechanism with an elongated shield made of transparent material, a burner disposed in the center of the shield, sealed-off burner connectors including both a proximal burner connector and a distal burner connector, each of which projects diametrically away from the burner in the longitudinal direction of the shield so as to extend into a proximal and a distal end region of the shield. Supply leads pass into the shield by way of a crimped part thereof and are joined there to the burner connectors. In the region of the crimped part a supplementary space is provided that is open to the interior of the shield and into which at least a certain region of the proximal burner connector extends.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2005Publication date: September 7, 2006Applicant: FLOWIL LIGHTING INTERNATIONAL (Holding) B.V.Inventors: James Hooker, Gunther Van De Poel, Marc Adolf

Patent number: 4202224Abstract: For use in rotating a bushing of an assembled track, wherein the bushing is press-fitted into apertures of a pair of links, first and second members are securable to one and the other of such pair of links, and a rapidly extendable and retractable cylinder interconnects the first and second members for providing a vibratory motion which, for optimum results, should be at resonant frequency to the links while rotational torque is being applied to such bushing.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1978Date of Patent: May 13, 1980Assignee: Caterpillar Tractor Co.Inventors: James A. Hooker, Dean W. Martin, Shellie O. Williamson

Patent number: 4061073Abstract: A controllably deformable fastener assembly has a fastener, clamping means, and a crushable element. The fastener has a threaded shank portion, a head portion and a shoulder portion on the head portion. The shank portion is of a material having a preselected tensile yield load. The clamping means is provided for screw threadably receiving the shank portion of the fastener, including a shoulder portion that is movable towards the shoulder portion of the fastener for securing a first member to a second member. The crushable element is disposed therebetween and is of a material that is controllably plastically deformable at a preselected load which is less than the preselected tensile yield load of the shank portion of the fastener.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1977Date of Patent: December 6, 1977Assignee: Caterpillar Tractor Co.Inventors: Rollen G. Easter, James A. Hooker
