  • Patent number: 7971334
    Abstract: A bladed disk assembly device having a horizontal adjustable arm and a vertical pivot bar that is perpendicularly attached to a first end of the horizontal arm. A roller assembly is attached to a second end of the horizontal arm. A rotary table holds a disk that is circumvented by a blade positioning belt around an outer diameter of the turbine disk. A saddle is attached to the vertical pivot bar that is positioned beneath the disk.

  • Patent number: 7093669
    Abstract: An impact tool, comprising: a shaft; a stop on the shaft; a slider movable on the shaft for striking the stop to create an impact force; and a handle on the slider to allow a user to move the slider. The handle isolates the impact force from the user by being movably attached to the slider.

  • Publication number: 20040000220
    Abstract: A hand tool, comprising: first and second members, each having a jaw at one end and a handle at an opposite end, the members pivotable between an open position and a closed position; and a retainer for selectively maintaining the members in the closed position. The hand tool could be a plier tool with a pivot pin connecting the members and enabling the members to pivot between the open and closed positions. A method of securing a clamp to an object, comprising the steps of: providing an object; providing a flexible clamp; placing the clamp on the object; actuating the hand tool to draw ends of the clamp towards each other to reduce a gap therebetween; actuating the retainer on the hand tool to keep the reduced gap; providing a fastener; securing the ends together with the fastener; and releasing the tool from the clamp.

  • Patent number: 6588303
    Abstract: An anti-rotation device for a fastener, comprising: a first coupling for engaging a first fastener; a second coupling for engaging a feature located near the first fastener; and a flexible connection between the first and second couplings. The flexible connection limits rotation of the first coupling relative to the second coupling. The anti-rotation device could be part of a kit which also includes a holder. The holder comprises: a first opening for receiving the first coupling and a second opening for receiving the second coupling. The spacing between the first and second openings corresponds to the distance between the first and second fasteners. The anti-rotation device allows the operator to tighten or loosen a third fastener corresponding to said first fastener without manually engaging the first fastener.
