After fixing the tie rod in the cylinder, the two pulling arms drive the clamping arm pivot with respect to the pivoting hole. When the clamping arm pivots, the teeth section of the clamping arm clamps the tie rod, forcing the tie rod to rotate and become loosened. Because the clamping arm can completely pivot over the casing hole, the disassembling tool can easily disassemble not only tie rods with various sizes, but tie rods with even smaller sizes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2011Publication date: February 21, 2013Inventor: BING-SHENG CHEN

Publication number: 20130042470Abstract: An extracting tool for extracting an adapter from a socket includes an elongate body having a first linear portion arranged to extend along a first longitudinal axis, and a second linear portion arranged to extend along a second longitudinal axis, the second longitudinal axis extending in a direction transverse to the first longitudinal axis. The body further includes an intermediate portion disposed between the first linear portion and the second linear portion. At least a portion of the intermediate portion is non-coaxial with the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis. The second linear portion is offset relative to the first linear portion in a direction transverse to the first longitudinal axis, and includes a protrusion configured to engage the socket and/or adapter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2011Publication date: February 21, 2013Applicant: Advanced Interconnections Corp.Inventors: Michael J.

Publication number: 20130042471Abstract: A rivet setter that can efficiently and smoothly perform, and reduce the takt time for a rivet setting operation. The rivet setter can be configured to set a rivet sequentially fed from a rivet supplying means by inserting the rivet into apertures formed at predetermined positions on workpieces. The rivet setter can have delivery paths for delivering the rivet one by one by sliding the rivet down to a settable position and can have a hanging support portion formed in the settable position in the tip end of the delivery path for supporting the head of rivet and for hanging the rivet shank downward. The rivet setter can be configured to enable the rivet to be set in the apertures of the workpieces by moving the hanging support portion substantially horizontally while keeping the rivet suspended in the hanging support portion and inserted into the apertures of the workpieces.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2012Publication date: February 21, 2013Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA F.C.C.Inventor: Kabushiki Kaisha F.C.C.

Publication number: 20130042475Abstract: Polymer-based materials and processes suitable for producing panels, for example, panels for use in a fan shroud abradable seal of a turbofan engine. Such a process includes introducing constituents of an expandable foam material into a continuous forming apparatus that continuously compounds the constituents into a partially-cured compounded polymeric material, which is then continuously formed with the continuous forming apparatus to produce a continuous form having a constant cross-sectional shape transverse to a continuous forming direction of the continuous forming apparatus. A portion of the continuous form is then deformed to produce a preform, and the preform is cured within a restricted volume to cause the preform to expand and produce the panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2011Publication date: February 21, 2013Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Michael Dominic Schulte, Eric Joseph Aho, Peter Kennedy Davis, Wendy Wen-Ling Lin, Michael Joseph O'Brien, Brian Dominic Stephens
