With Yieldable Type Fastener Means Patents (Class 269/263)
  • Patent number: 8573577
    Abstract: A point-welding clamp structure for side by side tightly clamping and locating different plate-shaped metal pieces in their true relative positions so as to facilitate the point-welding operation. The point-welding clamp structure includes a body section and a base section for clamping the different metal pieces. A second adjustment section is disposed on the body section and a third adjustment section is disposed on the base section. By means of operating the second and third adjustment sections, the metal pieces with different thickness can be securely clamped and located by the point-welding clamp structure.

  • Publication number: 20080185761
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressing device for a clamping system. The pressing device is coupled to a clamping element of the clamping system. For this purpose, the pressing device has a pressing arm, which is operationally linked at one end to a clamping element of the clamping system and has an oblong hole on the diametrically opposite free end, in which a fastening rod for a clamping head is situated so it is longitudinally displaceable and rotatable. The pressing device additionally has a twist lock, which secures the angle between clamping head and pressing arm, having a twist lock plate and a lock pin.

  • Patent number: 5944330
    Abstract: A non-surface marring work piece lathe mate pad which is interposed and held between the work piece and a lathe's chuck jaws. Each lathe mate has two grooved surfaces extending around three of its sides and flattened front and back surfaces which engage the work piece and lathe's chuck jaw. Disposed within these grooves are two continuous expandable strap members which extend around the lathe mates and the chuck jaws to retain them in place. These end grooves in each lathe mate prevent slipping of the expansion members with respect to rotatable work piece holding chuck jaws.
