  • Patent number: 11260482
    Abstract: The flexible ring fitting device includes a flexible ring disposition mechanism 10 for disposing a flexible ring R relative to an annular groove G of a workpiece W and flexible ring assembly mechanisms 421 and 422 including an arm portion 424 rotating while pushing the flexible ring R along the outer periphery of the workpiece W. The flexible ring assembly mechanisms 421 and 422 are movable with respect to the workpiece W and include an elastic body 51 urging the arm portion 424 of the flexible ring assembly mechanisms 421 and 422 so as to press the arm portion 424 with respect to the workpiece W.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11117230
    Abstract: In a flexible ring fitting device 1, a flexible ring disposition mechanism includes at least two ring support members 411 and 412 disposed relative to each other and movable so as to be separated from each other. Notches 4113 and 4123 recessed in a direction in which the two ring support members 411 and 412 are separated from each other are formed along surfaces 4114 and 4124 of the two relative ring support members 411 and 412 in the relative surfaces 4114 and 4124 of the two ring support members 411 and 412. A flexible ring R is fitted into an annular groove G of a workpiece W by a workpiece disposition mechanism moving in one direction along with the workpiece W.
