  • Patent number: 7599052
    Abstract: A defect marking device includes a flaw inspection device which has a plurality of light-receiving parts that identify reflected lights coming from an inspection plane of a metal strip under two or more of optical conditions different from each other; a signal processing section that judges the presence/absence of surface flaw on the inspection plane based on a combination of reflected light components identified under these optical conditions different from each other; and a marking device which applies marking that indicates information relating to the flaw on the surface of the metal strip.

  • Patent number: 7248366
    Abstract: The defect marking method comprises the steps of: installing a surface defect tester to detect surface flaw and a marker device to apply marking at defect position, in a continuous processing line of steel sheet; detecting the surface flaw on the steel sheet using the surface defect tester; determining defect name, defect grade, defect length, and defect position in the width direction of the steel sheet, on the basis of thus detected flaw information, further identifying the defect in terms of harmful defect, injudgicable defect, and harmless defect; applying tracking of the defect position for each of the harmful defect and the injudgicable defect; and applying marking to the defect position. The defect marking device comprises a defect inspection means having plurality of light-receiving parts and a signal processing section, and a marking means.

  • Patent number: 4440300
    Abstract: A device for holding pipes of different diameters in a nested state comprising a plurality of engaging members each having at an intermediate portion thereof an abutting portion adapted to contact the socket end of each diametrically small pipe for restraining the small pipe from moving axially thereof, each of the engaging members being provided at least at its one end with an engaging portion fittingly engageable in an annular groove formed in the inner periphery of the socket of the diametrically largest pipe; and one or more connecting means for removably connecting the engaging members together. The holding device comprises light-weight components, is simple in construction and can be attached to nested pipes easily for holding the pipes reliably at all times.

  • Patent number: 4434892
    Abstract: A device for holding nested pipes which comprises an abutting member adapted to bear against the socket ends of all the pipes, and radial-axial retainer means removably mountable on the abutting member and having an engaging projection fittingly engageable in an annular groove of the diametrically larger of two adjacent pipes included in the pipes and engaging stepped means engageable with an annular shoulder of the diametrically smaller of the two pipes. The device is composed of a small number of parts, is therefore inexpensive to make and easy to install on the pipes and reliably holds the pipes even when the two adjacent pipes differ greatly in diameter. Such devices are usable as units to provide a compact and lightweight overall holding device since a mount frame which would add to the weight of the device is not always needed.
