  • Patent number: 11034031
    Abstract: A tool coupling includes a first tool part and a second tool part, the second tool part being movable in relation to the first tool part. The tool coupling further includes a first base part for detachably retaining the first tool part and a second base part movable in relation to the first base part for detachably retaining the second tool part. The first base part has a pusher movable in relation to the first base part for detaching the first tool part and the second base part has a cap movable in relation to the second base part for detaching the second tool part.

  • Publication number: 20110091302
    Abstract: Reactive fasteners are described herein. The reactive fasteners are utilized in place of jam nuts and Belleville washers providing for the storage of a pre-load and effectively providing a locking function to prevent unintended loosening of an associated bolt. The reactive fasteners resiliently deform under load to store pre-load or live load energy. Further, the reactive fasteners provide a means for interfacing with a self-reacting tightening power tool which can eliminate or minimize the need for reaction arms. The resilient deformation of the biasing fasteners permits the live load to be stored therein and accordingly lessens the risk of loosening of the bolted joint due to exteriorly applied forces such as, but not limited, to vibration and thermal expansion and contraction.

  • Patent number: 7857566
    Abstract: Several embodiments of reactive biasing fasteners are described. The fasteners are utilized in place of jam nuts and Belleville washers providing for the storage of a pre-load and effectively providing a locking function to prevent unintended loosening of an associated bolt. The embodiments resiliently deform under load to store pre-load or live load energy. Further, the fasteners provide a means for interfacing with a self-reacting tightening power tool thereby eliminating or minimizing the need for reaction arms. Additionally, several embodiments through the incorporation of a threaded bore effectively act to create a substantially torsionless live load on the portion of a bolt located in the bolt hole of a workpiece when in use. The resilient deformation of the biasing fasteners permits the live load to be stored therein and accordingly lessens the risk of loosening of the bolted joint due to exteriorly applied forces such as but not limited to vibration and thermal expansion and contraction.

  • Publication number: 20100235269
    Abstract: A method of processing asset data can include receiving data related to an asset from an electronic data warehouse at an adjustment system. The method can also include identifying a tax class of a plurality of tax classes based on the received data and storing the received data in association with the identified tax class. Further, the method can include determining based on the received data that the asset has been added, retired or depreciated during a time period. In addition, the method can include adjusting a value of the asset, wherein the adjusted value corresponds to an addition, retirement or depreciation of the asset.

  • Patent number: 7462007
    Abstract: Several embodiments of reactive biasing fasteners utilized in place of jam nuts and Belleville washers, providing for the storage of a pre-load and effectively providing a locking function to prevent unintended loosening of an associated bolt. The embodiments resiliently deform under load to store pre-load or live load energy. Further, the fasteners are adapted to interface with a self-reacting tightening power tool—thereby eliminating or minimizing the need for backup or secondary wrenches. Additionally, several embodiments, through the incorporation of a threaded bore, effectively act to minimize side loading on the portion of a bolt located in the bolt hole of a workpiece when in use. The resilient deformation of the biasing fasteners permits the live load to be stored therein. Accordingly, the risk of loosening of the bolted joint due to exteriorly applied forces such as, but not limited to, vibration and thermal expansion and contraction, is lessened.
