Patent number: 7707866Abstract: A die separator cylinder for use in separating first and second portions of a metal forming die set comprises a housing including a bore. A piston is adapted to reciprocate in the bore between an extended position and a depressed position. The die separator cylinder further includes gas flow paths leading to and from the bore that define asymmetrical gas flow rates relative to each other so that said when the bore is charged with an inert gas, the inert gas biases the piston to the extended position with a force that varies depending upon a time interval elapsed since the piston moved from the depressed position to the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Barnes Group Inc.Inventors: Harold I. Lanterman, Henry J. Kelm, Terry L. Gang, Jr., Steven J. Reilly

Patent number: 7472897Abstract: A high-pressure, inert gas cushion assembly for the ram or bolster of a metal stamping press includes a manifold having fluid-flow passages defined therein, along with a plurality of cylinder mounting locations each in communication with at least one of the fluid-flow passages. A plurality of cushion cylinders are located respectively in the cylinder mounting locations. Each cylinder includes a body having an inner wall that defines a bore of diameter D. A piston is located in the bore and includes opposite inner and outer faces, wherein the outer face is oriented outwardly relative to the bore and manifold. A fluid seal is supported on the piston and is slidably engaged with the wall defining the bore. One or more bearings are supported on the piston and slidably engaged with the inner wall that defines the bore. The bearing(s) support the piston slidably in the bore for reciprocal sliding movement between extended and retracted positions.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2006Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Barnes Group Inc.Inventors: Harold L. Lanterman, Steven J. Reilly, Terry L. Gang, Jr., Henry J. Kelm

Patent number: 6796159Abstract: A fluid spring assembly. The spring assembly preferably includes a body that slidably supports a piston that is attached to a piston rod. The piston serves to define a fluid chamber within the body that is charged with a pressurized fluid medium. The piston is retained within the body by a rigid retainer member. A biasing member is provided between the retaining member and the piston for resisting the force generated by the fluid medium within the fluid chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Barnes Group Inc.Inventors: Henry J. Kelm, Steven J. Reilly, Walter Santee

Patent number: 6749185Abstract: A cushion assembly includes a lower end wall which is at least partially enclosed by a tubular cylindrical outer wall. An upper end wall is also partially enclosed by the outer wall. A tubular cylindrical inner wall extends between recesses in the lower end wall and the upper end wall. A piston is disposed within the inner wall and is movable along the inner wall toward the upper end wall under the influence of gas pressure. The piston is movable along the inner wall toward the lower end wall of the influence of force applied against the piston during operation of a press. A passage is formed between an end portion of the inner wall and the lower end wall to conduct a flow of lubrication liquid and gas to lubricate the piston.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2003Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: Barnes Group Inc.Inventors: Steven J. Reilly, Michael V. Sanchez

Patent number: 6142402Abstract: A take-up reel assembly for use with a tape cartridge in a cartridge-based tape transport includes a take-up reel and a leader block. The take-up reel includes an annular hub and first and second tape guides having first and second generally flat guide surfaces, respectively. The hub has an axis of rotation, an annular hub surface extending between the guide surfaces, and a hub slot extending from the hub surface toward the axis of rotation. The leader block is adapted to be attached to a free end of a length of tape stored in the cartridge, and is further disposable in the hub slot. The leader block includes an arcuate end surface having first and second leader-block edges that extend between the guide surfaces when the leader block is disposed in the hub slot. At least a portion of each of the leader-block edges extends in a direction non-perpendicular to the guide surfaces when the leader block is disposed in the hub slot.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1999Date of Patent: November 7, 2000Assignee: Storage Technology CorporationInventor: Steven J.

Patent number: 5472463Abstract: A pressure side integrated air filter assembly for a turbocharged engine includes an air filter carrier which is designed and arranged to receive an air filter element and which is adapted to mount to the intake manifold of the turbocharged engine. The air filter carrier which receives an air filtering element is disposed within the intake manifold and the intake manifold cover serves as the air filter cover. A peripheral flange on the air filter carrier is used to support the air filter assembly by being clamped between the intake manifold cover and the intake manifold. This peripheral flange substitutes for the intake manifold gasket. The air filter carrier and the air filter element each have a trapezoidal shape in cross section as a way to conserve space within the intake manifold.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1994Date of Patent: December 5, 1995Assignee: Cummins Engine Company, Inc.Inventors: Peter K. Herman, Roger L. Clark, Harry L. Maxwell, Steven J. Reilly

Patent number: 5313780Abstract: A free-floating damper system is provided wherein a damper housing is configured to receive a damper arm for free-floating movement in the x/y plane while restricting similar movement in the z plane. The damper arm is specially configured with first and second wear bushings positioned in a spring biased support to insure the frictional generation of coulomb dampening forces between the damper arm bushings and the damper housing. The damper can be fixedly mounted to a portion of a gas turbine engine such as the turbine frame and a portion of the damper arm can be attached through a mounting bracket to an accessory tube of the engine to dissipate vibrational forces which otherwise can damage the accessory tube.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1992Date of Patent: May 24, 1994Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Charles L. Williams, John G. Buechler, Tod W. Miller, Steven J. Reilly
