  • Patent number: 6434182
    Abstract: A clamp assembly for securing a plurality of windings of an induction coil in a fixed position includes a T-shaped latch bar formed of high strength insulating material. The T-shaped latch bar has a stem and a cross member. The stem is secured to a second winding of three end windings, which preferably is located between the terminal or endmost winding of the coil, and the third winding, by a pair of stud bolts which are welded on the second winding. The cross member extends in an axial direction between the three windings. A pair of lugs are welded onto the terminal winding and the third winding. The ends of the cross member are formed with a pair of notches into which the lugs are seated for stabilizing the terminal winding and the adjacent two windings.

  • Patent number: 4630781
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing crushing rolls from a crushing apparatus is disclosed in which arms means mounted on a movable frame supporting movable crushing rolls which move with the movable frame are utilized to remove stationary crushing rolls mounted on a stationary supporting frame to a position at which the stationary rolls may be lifted from the crushing apparatus. With the stationary and movable frames adjacent to each other, the arm means are placed in supporting engagement with the stationary crushing rolls mounted on the stationary frame. The crushing rolls mounted on the stationary frame are then released from its support so that the stationary crushing rolls are supported by the arm means. The movable frame is then moved away from the stationary frame to move the stationary crushing rolls supported by the arm means to a position at which the stationary crushing rolls may be lifted from the arm means.
