Abstract: A sweep removal tool includes a pair of claws with angled surfaces conforming to the top edge of the sweep stem to locate the tool and help distribute sweep removal impact forces. A retainer depressor centered below the claws moves the retainer to a release position and slides between the angled surfaces during sweep removal. The depressor shape assures desired tine contact, even when the sweep is at an extreme position in the range of possible mounted positions, while preventing damaging contact as the depressor moves relative to the retainer during sweep removal. A curved surface extends between the claws and the depressor and facilitates free pivoting of the tine about the claw contact points to depress the retainer. The tool bottoms against the sweep when the depressor is moved to the release position to prevent retained damage from removal impact forces.

The extractor has a gripping element, which has a tubular basic body, is axially adjustable in a guide tube and is provided at its outer ends with at least two gripping jaws having conical outer jacket surfaces. With the gripping jaws the gripping element can be attached to the center pin or the cylindrical section. The basic body can be pulled axially into the guide tube, as a result of which the gripping jaws are pressed by conical jacket surfaces radially inwardly in cooperation with the guide tube, so that a snug hold of the gripping jaws at the cylindrical pin or the cylindrical section is brought about.

Abstract: The invention comprises tools for forming beads on one or more filaments using a malleable material for the bead. The tools exert bead-forming forces radially inward toward the filament and axially along the filament toward the center of the bead. The tools comprise pliers with jaws which meet flush with each other over at least a portion of the jaw face. Aligned cavities are formed in each jaw face wherein each cavity's dimension across the jaw face is less than the width of the jaw face. Grooves, aligned generally transverse to the width of the jaw face provide a filament-receiving channel between the cavity and the edge of the jaw face. Malleable material encompassing the filament is aligned between the aligned cavities and the jaws are closed. The radial force of the cavity walls on the malleable material deforms the malleable material radially and the walls of the cavity exert a force axially to form a bead.

The end piece on the impeller can also be used as an end plate to engage a threaded shaft for jacking the impeller onto a pump shaft. An alignment cone can be added to the pump housing for aligning the impeller with the pump shaft and pump housing bore.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a door jack formed of a lever arm having a first end formed as a foot pedal and a second end connected by a hinge or universal joint to a doorholder.

When a workperson places his foot on the foot pedal and thus presses down the door holder in which the door 14 is contained lifts upward causing the door to be lifted vertically to any desired height. By moving the pedal in the horizontal plane, e.g. parallel to the floor the door will move in the horizontal plane in the opposite direction of the direction of the foot pedal due to the articulating member, e.g. the hinge or the universal joint. This causes the door to aligned in place.

This linear movement is adapted so that the trailing end-surface (1′) of the pulled rail section will be positioned adjacent a leading end-surface (1″) of an earlier laid rail section. In this position of the rail section, one or more of said devices (10, 10a, 10b) is/are activated to lower the rail section (1) onto rail-adapted, sleeper-associated fastener elements (81-84).

Abstract: A tool-actuated ejector for extracting electronic modular components. The ejector, which functions as a levered cam, has a body with a first end, a second end and a pivot located intermediate the first and second ends. A tool-receiving socket mounts at the second end. A tool, such as a screwdriver with a blade that matches the shape of the socket, actuates the ejector by applying a force to the socket. A cam, located at the first end, engages the electronic modular component. To provide a mechanical advantage, the distance between the tool-receiving socket and the pivot, which constitutes one lever arm, is greater than the distance between the cam and the pivot, which constitutes a second lever arm. In addition, a shock absorber mounts on the body and gliders extend below the body to provide stability and balance to the ejector. The ejector mounts in a casing having a tool passage that communicates with the tool-receiving socket and the exterior of the casing.
