  • Timed rotation tool assembly and actuator
    Patent number: 7210720
    Abstract: A fluid-powered tool assembly having first and second tool members, a body, and first and second rotatable shafts. The first shaft is attached to the first tool member for rotation therewith about a first axis, and the second shaft is attached to the second tool member for rotation therewith about a second axis. A linear-to-rotary force transmitting member is mounted for reciprocal longitudinal movement in response to selective application of pressurized fluid thereto.
    Type: Grant

  • Hydraulic collection tool
    Patent number: 6612051
    Abstract: A tool assembly using a fluid-powered actuator and including first and second tool members. The first tool member is pivotably connectable to a boom arm of a vehicle or stationary support platform for rotation about a first axis. The first tool member is also attached to a body of the actuator and the second tool members is attached to a shaft of the actuator so that operation of the actuator rotates the second tool member relative to the first tool member about a second axis spaced apart from the first axis and independent of rotation of the first tool member about the first axis. The second tool member is positioned to cooperatively engage the first tool member to assist in collection operations. The actuator has a generally cylindrical body with an output shaft rotatably disposed therein for rotation about the second axis.
