Publication number: 20130087964Abstract: A preform clamping head which is mounted at the lower part of a heating chain (8) includes an integral annular sleeve body (1), the outer surface of which inclines outwardly from bottom to top and the upper part of which is provided with a retracting space (2) for the inward retracting of the annular sleeve body when it is pressed. The invention has simple manufacture process and low manufacture cost. By means of the integral molding mode, the axial requirement of the preform clamping head is easier to satisfy, so that the bottle preform clamped on the outer surface of the sleeve body is capable of rotating stably along the heating chain and can be heated more uniformly during the heating process.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2011Publication date: April 11, 2013Applicant: GUANGZHOU TECH-LONG PACKAGING MACHINERY CO., LTDInventor: Jiesheng Zhang

Patent number: 8408529Abstract: The problem of firmly gripping a cylindrical component over a range of permitted diameters is solved by providing a protrusion on the surface of a cantilevered seat, the seat being substantially complementarily curved to accommodate the cylindrical component. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention a clamp for holding a cylindrical component is provided comprising at least one curved seat having at least one protrusion, the curved seat being cantilevered by a first end. The protrusion is configured to contact the cylindrical component under load such that a concentrated load is exerted on the curved seat between a first end and a second end causing the curved seat to be elastically deflected.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Arc Machines, Inc.Inventor: Mindaugas E.
