Abstract: An electronic actuated clutch for a winch. The winch having a motor and drive shaft which are engagable, via an electronically actuated clutch, to a spool. The clutch being operated by a solenoid which engages the clutch via a yoke. The clutch is operable between an engaged and disengaged position through energizing and de-energizing the solenoid. Operation of the clutch moves it linearly along the axis of the drive shaft into and out of engagement with the spool. Operation of the electronically actuated clutch may be done via a remote control.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a data storage system in a communication network, which enables distributed storage of data. The system includes front end nodes, storage nodes, super nodes and management nodes. The operation units are located in the front end nodes, the super nodes or the storage nodes and each adapted to operate a first data GUID by a preset fixed offset to derive a second data GUID, to determine, from loop link information obtained from the management node and the second data GUID, a super node with a node identifier closest to the second data GUID, and to forward a service request carrying the second data GUID and a backup flag to the determined super node. The invention further discloses a data information processing method using the system.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a tapered braking device for electric winches which disposes a section of gear shaft, a section of core shaft, a wedge shape support, braking plates, an elastic element, a wedge shape piece A, a wedge shape piece B, a braking clutch base and so on in a gear box of an electric winch. When a motor works, the section of core shaft of the motor can drive the braking clutch base and the wedge shape pieces A, B to rotate, until a gap is formed between the friction faces of the wedge shape support and the wedge shape piece B and the braking plates so that the braking action stops. When the motor suddenly stops, a heavy load lifted by a tight wire rope reel provides a reverse pulling force so that the wedge shape piece B produces a reverse thrust force to push the friction faces of the braking plates, so the braking effect is achieved quickly.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a plane braking device for electric winches and electric winch which disposes a section of hollow gear shaft, a section of core shaft, a fixing ring, a wedge shape support, a stopping piece, a braking plate, an elastic element, a wedge shape piece B, a wedge shape piece A, a braking clutch base and so on in a gear box of an electric winch. When a motor works, the section of core shaft of the motor drives the braking clutch base and the wedge shape pieces A, B to rotate, until a gap is formed between the adjacent braking plate and stopping piece between the braking clutch base and the wedge shape piece B, so that the braking effect disappears. When the motor stops suddenly, a heavy load lifted by a tight wire drum provides a reverse pulling force so that the wedge shape piece B produces a reverse thrust force to push the friction planes of the braking plate and the stopping piece, so the plane braking effect is achieved quickly.

Abstract: An automatic winder has a base, motor, a transmission device and a reel. The motor is mounted on the base. The transmission device connects to the motor and has a pair of high-speed gears and a pair of low-speed gears. The reel is mounted on the transmission device and has a spool of a cord. When the motor is overloaded, the motor connects to the pair of the low-speed gears to drive the reel to prevent the break of the motor.

Abstract: A manual hoist with overload preventer wherein rotation in the winding direction under overload is automatically arrested; however, when an overload develops after hoisting or pinching of a load, unwinding is possible. The apparatus includes an operation ring, and a friction ring and a drive ring both being capable of engaging the operation ring. When the driving ring is turned in the winding direction, the operation ring remains engaged with both the friction ring and the drive ring, enabling the relative rotation of the drive ring and the friction ring. When the drive ring is turned in the unwinding direction, the drive ring and the friction ring are rotated as a unit through the operation ring.

Abstract: In a hand hoist in which a driven member 15 and a biasing drive member 16 are threaded onto a driving shaft 11, an overload avoiding arrangement for the hoist, which is so arranged that a manually rotated member 21 is supported by a support frictional surface 16d of the biasing drive member 16 and a frusto-conical frictional surface 22b of a frusto-conical friction member 22, while the frusto-conical friction member 22 unrotatably supported on the biasing drive member 16 so as to be displaceable in an axial direction, is depressed in the direction of the support frictional surface of the biasing drive member 16, by an adjustable nut 26 of the outer end of a boss 16a of the biasing drive member 16 and a belleville spring 23.

Abstract: A hoist having a worm safety device in which the worm is continuously meshed with a worm wheel coupled to the drum. The worm is accelerated to a speed greater than that of the worm wheel and at a torque sufficient to overcome the frictional contact between the worm and worm wheel when the hoist direction is reversed.

Abstract: A grooved winch drum is driven by a reversible hydraulic motor. A pump supplies fluid to the motor through a system using an electrically controlled four-way, flow direction valve associated with a counterbalance valve and a manually adjustable flow control valve. The four-way valve controls the direction of drum rotation and the flow control valve regulates the drum rotational speed. The motor drives the drum through a planetary gearing which includes a ring gear normally held from rotation by a friction clutch band, spring biased into engaged position but releasable by the application of hydraulic pressure from a separate pump supplied through a second system that includes a second flow control valve. The flow control valves for the motor and clutch are each associated with a cam operator mounted on a shaft rotated by a lever which also carries a three position electrical switch to control the four-way valve.

Abstract: An anchor windlass has a shaft on which an anchor-line sprocket is freely rotatable between an abutment fixed axially on the shaft and an entrainment emenet fixed rotationally but axially shiftable on this shaft. A nut threaded on the shaft bears via a stack of spring washers on this entrainment element and can be screwed axially forwardly on the shaft to wedge the sprocket between the entrainment element and the abutment to rotationally couple the sprocket to the shaft, and can be screwed axially backwardly on the shaft to allow free rotation of this sprocket on the shaft. A pawl and cam mechanism serves to automatically rotationally temporarily arrest the nut to screw it in the desired direction for coupling the sprocket to the shaft or uncoupling it therefrom.
