Publication number: 20100139067Abstract: A riveting unit is assembled with an electric rivet gun, including a transmission unit, a clamping jaw having a locating portion driven by the transmission unit to be moveable between a first position and a second position, a first sensor detecting whether the locating portion of the clamping jaw is located at the first position, and a second sensor detecting whether the locating portion of the clamping jaw is located at the second position. When the locating portion of the clamping jaw is located at the first position, a blind rivet can be installed in the clamping jaw, and when the locating portion of the clamping jaw is located at the second position, the blind rivet can be ejected, and meanwhile the second sensor can allow the transmission unit to stop the movement of the clamping jaw, thereby preventing the clamping jaw from moving backwards excessively.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2009Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: TRANMAX MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventor: Hsin-Chi Chen

Publication number: 20100139068Abstract: In a fastener tool, a constant flow of compressed air is supplied. When the tool is not in use however the constant flow of compressed air results in wastage. The tool is therefore provided with a trigger (10) that is adapted when in a first position to stop the flow of compressed air through the tool in order to disable the tool and when in a second position to actuate installation means.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2006Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: AVDEL UK LIMITEDInventor: Aiden Robert Dear

Publication number: 20100139069Abstract: Methods are provided for repairing a frame configured to support a wind turbine generator. The method includes providing a frame support including a stand, tension member, and jack. The frame support includes a stand coupled to a first portion of the frame. The tension member is coupled to the stand and a second portion of the frame. The jack is configured to move the stand. The jack is actuated to move the stand and increase a tension in the tension member to move the second portion with respect to the first portion. The frame is repaired while the frame support is coupled to the frame. The jack is actuated to move the stand and decrease the tension in the tension member to move the second portion with respect to the first portion. The tension member is decoupled from the second portion. The stand is decoupled form the first portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2009Publication date: June 10, 2010Inventors: Jeffrey Michael Daniels, Christoph Spitzenfeil

Publication number: 20100139070Abstract: A device for producing a patterned plate from a tubular work piece is disclosed wherein walls of the tubular work piece comprise at least one forming surface. The device comprises a die and an electromagnetic actuator, wherein the die comprises a patterned surface with a pattern formed thereon and a fracturing part. The tubular work piece is disposed between the die and the electromagnetic actuator such that the walls of the tubular work piece correspond to walls of the die, and the forming surface corresponds to the patterned surface. When the electromagnetic actuator is supplied with a current pulse, an eddy current is induced in the tubular work piece, generating a repulsive force between the electromagnetic actuator and the tubular work piece. Therefore, the tubular work piece impacts the die, and the forming surface is deformed against the patterned surface and the fracturing part, thus replicating the pattern of the patterned surface onto the forming surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2008Publication date: June 10, 2010Inventors: Tung-Chen Cheng, Yu-Yi Chu
