Abstract: The invention relates to a method of burnisning for the purpose of imparting surface compression stresses to metal parts. The surface state of the region of the part that is to be burnished is measured initially, and the width of the disk to be used in the burnishing is deduced therefrom. Thereafter, the disk selected in this way is installed on a tool carrier, at the end of an associated flexure bar. Once installed in this way the disk is pressed against the part to exert a predetermined force thereon as a function of the desired surface compression stresses. Finally, burnishing proper of the part is performed using the disk. The burnishing method of the invention is particularly advantageous for use with light alloy wheels, e.g. wheels made of magnesium or of aluminum alloy.

Abstract: A pneumatically-powered battering ram for striking objects quickly and effectively with an initial high striking velocity resulting in an increased peak force effective in breaking the target object. The battering ram includes an elongated hollow housing containing a mass to be propelled, preferably a piston, and a supply of compressed gas, preferably carbon dioxide disposed within the housing. A valve mechanism releases a portion of the compressed gas into a charge cavity located between the piston and the supply of compressed gas. A sear mechanism holds the piston in place against the pressure of the compressed gas in the charge cavity. When the battering ram is swung at an object such as a door, a trigger mechanism releases the sear mechanism which in turn releases the piston. The piston is then accelerated forward by the compressed gas charge. Consequently, as the ram reaches the door, so does the piston which is traveling at a much higher velocity than could be obtained solely by manual swinging.

Abstract: A hydraulic tool for safely separating one multipin electrical connector from another. The preferred separation tool consists of a master cylinder which operates a pair of slave cylinders, each slave cylinder having a corresponding operative shaft and an extraction tab. The slave cylinders are variably spaced apart from one another such that they may be positioned on either side of mated connector pairs of different sizes and so that their extraction tabs may be slid between the connectors. When the master cylinder's plunger is operated, such operation is hydraulically transmitted to the operative shafts of the slave cylinders which extend outward and, once pressed against a substrate, causes the slave cylinders and corresponding extractor tabs to move away and separate one connector from the other. A second preferred separation tool includes an additional pair of extractor tabs, one at the end of each operative shaft, so that the tool can be used to separated a mated connector pair hanging in free space.
