Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly (100) for securing a gear-box (101) using a spring-loaded lock pin (105) wherein the gear-box (101) is locked with a ferrule (103) by means of a spring-loaded lock pin (105) which enables lock and unlock of the ferrule (103) through a ‘press and release’ mechanism. The spring-loaded lock pin (105) comprises an internal keyway (106) for facilitating anti-rotational movement of spring-loaded lock pin (105) and slot recess (107) for enabling hassle-free lock and unlock between the ferrule (103) and the gear-box (101). Further, external keyway (102) provided in the gear-box (101) mates with the internal keyway (106) etched in the spring-loaded lock pin (105) for facilitating anti-rotational movement of spring-loaded lock pin (105) under locked and unlocked condition of the ferrule (103).

Abstract: The present invention discloses a swaging die holder for the flexible shaft operations. In the preferred embodiment, the swaging die holder comprises of an elliptical die holder slot, a stress relief slot, a radius curve, a recess and an insert. The die holder slot at top of the die holder allows each die holder to mount to the machine. The insert is adapted through the recess at the bottom of each die holder and designed to produce the different output profiles at the end of the flexible shaft. The insert is made of HSS material with cobalt content to achieve optimal life. The insert is further re-grinded or re-sharpened for same or other profile applications of the flexible shaft.
