  • Clamping apparatus
    Patent number: 9346106
    Abstract: A clamping apparatus includes a base, a support mechanism mounted on the base, and a plurality of retaining mechanisms mounted on the base. A wheel rim is mounted on the support mechanism of the clamping apparatus to be worked by a wheel rim working machine. Thus, each of the retaining mechanisms of the clamping apparatus presses the inner wall of the wheel rim to position the wheel rim in place when the wheel rim is worked by the wheel rim working machine, so that the wheel rim is positioned by the clamping apparatus, and will not slip or detach from the clamping apparatus due to the high speed operation of the wheel rim working machine.

  • Overhead travelling crane system
    Patent number: 9199827
    Abstract: An overhead travelling crane system includes a conveyor device, and two clamping devices connected with the conveyor device. The conveyor device includes two lifting units and a traversing unit connected with the lifting units. When in use, each of the clamping devices is moved upward or downward by operation of each of the lifting units of the conveyor device, and is moved leftward or rightward by operation of the traversing unit of the conveyor device. In addition, each of the clamping devices is extended outward to clamp the wheel rim or retracted inward to loosen the wheel rim.
