Abstract: A tool for removing a metal plug from a tube with repeated pulling impulses includes a pneumatic cylinder defining an interior, cylindrical chamber. A distal end surface of the cylinder defines an anvil. A cylindrical slug, or hammer, is sealingly slidable within the chamber in response to a pressure difference above and below the hammer within the chamber. The cylinder is rigidly connected to the plug so as to hang therefrom, the weight of the cylinder providing a static pull force working in conjunction with the pulling impulses. A pulling impulse is provided by first raising the hammer above the anvil by pneumatically creating a first pressure difference wherein the pressure below the hammer is greater than the pressure above the hammer, then creating a second pressure difference wherein the pressure below the hammer is no greater than the pressure above the hammer in order to drive the hammer against the anvil at speed.

Abstract: A pneumatically-powered battering ram for striking objects quickly and effectively with an initial high striking velocity resulting in an increased peak force effective in breaking the target object. The battering ram includes an elongated hollow housing containing a mass to be propelled, preferably a piston, and a supply of compressed gas, preferably carbon dioxide disposed within the housing. A valve mechanism releases a portion of the compressed gas into a charge cavity located between the piston and the supply of compressed gas. A sear mechanism holds the piston in place against the pressure of the compressed gas in the charge cavity. When the battering ram is swung at an object such as a door, a trigger mechanism releases the sear mechanism which in turn releases the piston. The piston is then accelerated forward by the compressed gas charge. Consequently, as the ram reaches the door, so does the piston which is traveling at a much higher velocity than could be obtained solely by manual swinging.

Abstract: A tool for removing the axle shaft from a wheel hub includes a ram and guide assembly that makes the job quick, easy, and safe.

The solid impact releases the force that tightly binds the axle shaft to the wheel's lug studs. The ram is made of a relatively soft mild steel to prevent damage to the axle shaft.

Abstract: A removal system for a pin that connects a fifth wheel of a tractor to the tractor frame. The pin is modified by threading a hole in one end that receives a bolt on a washer; the washer when attached to the pin by the bolt prevents transverse movement of the pin in a first direction. The other end of the pin has another washer for preventing transverse movement in the opposing direction; that end of the pin couples to the end of rod on which is slidably carried a weight. The distal end of the rod has a stop. When the bolt and washer are removed from the first end and the weight is slung by a handle connected to the weight by a chain, the weight hits the stop which transmits the impulsive force along the rod to pin hammering it in the first direction. Depending on how tightly the pin is held in place, several attempts to hammer the pin out may be necessary, but while doing so the hands of the user are removed from the fifth wheel area.
