  • Patent number: 6827540
    Abstract: A power bridge rollout service system for removing and installing a power bridge, the power bridge having a housing with an external bus assembly. The power bridge rollout service system includes a roller assembly, an enclosure assembly, and a dolly assembly. The roller assembly is structured to support the power bridge and has a plurality of wheels. The enclosure assembly has a frame assembly structured to support the power bridge and has two wheel tracks. The dolly assembly has a frame assembly, a vertical lifting device, and a plurality of wheels. The vertical lifting device and wheels are coupled to the dolly frame assembly. The vertical lifting device acts upon a work platform such as a skid table assembly. The skid table assembly has a generally flat lifting plate. The skid table assembly may be raised so that the lifting plate is at the same general height as the frame assembly wheel tracks.

  • Patent number: 4789323
    Abstract: Apparatus for forming graphite into packing rings utilizes a press to compress the graphite within a movable die. The graphite is supplied to the press by the combination of a turntable-type feeder and a tubular feeder which places increments of the graphite in dies carried by the turntable. The punch has a retractable pin which cooperates with a lower core pin to maintain the interior diameter of the rings as they are formed. The press and turntable are connected for synchronous operation.
