Patent number: 11897099Abstract: A fastener extractor and dislodging tool apparatus includes a torque-tool body, a threaded opening, a plurality of engagement features, and a release bolt. The plurality of engagement features that grips the lateral surface of the stripped fastener is radially positioned around a rotation axis of the torque-tool body. The plurality of engagement features being perimetrically connected around a base of the torque-tool body thus delineating a socket body that removes the stripped fastener. The threaded opening traverses through the base so that the release bolt can be threadedly engaged with the threaded opening, opposite of the plurality of engagement features. When the stripped fastener is jammed within the plurality of engagement features, the release bolt can be threadedly moved into the space between the plurality of engagement features thus dislodging the stripped fastener from the torque-tool body.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: GRIP HOLDINGS LLCInventors: Paul Kukucka, Thomas Stefan Kukucka

Patent number: 9157469Abstract: A two-piece locking nut assembly for securing a mantle to a head assembly of a cone crusher. The two-piece locking nut assembly includes an inner nut and an outer nut. The inner nut includes a set of axial bores that each receive a jackscrew. Once the locking nut assembly is in position on the head assembly, the series of jackscrews are tightened to exert a force on the mantle that is counteracted by forces through the inner nut and into the head to create a locking force between the locking nut assembly and the head assembly. The outer nut is turned along the inner nut to hold the locking nut assembly in place. Once the outer nut is moved into position, the jackscrews are removed such that the outer nut continues to apply the locking force between the mantle and the head through the locking nut assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2011Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Metso Minerals Industries, Inc.Inventors: Walter R. Marks, Edward L. Snow

Patent number: 8950292Abstract: A device is for tensioning a rod having a threaded portion and includes an actuator adapted to provide a tensioning axial force and a tie-rod adapted to transmit the axial force from the actuator to the threaded portion of the rod. The tie-rod includes a plurality of jaws, the jaws being movable radially between a closed position at which the jaws are engaged with the rod threaded portion and an open position at which the jaws are disengaged from the threaded portion, each jaw having an outer surface. A locking element includes a sleeve slidable axially along the tie-rod and disposable about the jaws, the sleeve having an inner frustoconical surface contactable with the outer surfaces of the jaws.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2011Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Aktiebolaget SKFInventors: Didier Declerck, Valérie Loiseau

Patent number: 5446774Abstract: A tool for checking the required spacing between adjacent fingers of the spud in a control rod drive. The tool is a GO-NO-GO gauge with tight tolerance. The spud finger gauge has two circular cylindrical pins of different diameter. One pin (i.e., the GO pin) has a diameter less than the required spacing between adjacent fingers of the spud. The other pin (i.e., the NO GO pin) has a diameter greater than the required spacing between adjacent fingers of the spud. The spacing is correct if the GO pin passes through the spacing and the NO GO pin does not.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1994Date of Patent: August 29, 1995Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Harry I. Russell, Bettadapur N. Sridhar

Patent number: 4823636Abstract: A wrenchable C-clamp is formed with a hexagonal portion coaxial with a clamping screw and sized to fit standard open end and box wrenches. A user can apply a wrench to the wrenchable portion to hold the C-clamp in a desired position while a clamping screw is actuated.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1987Date of Patent: April 25, 1989Inventor: Charles R. Suska

Patent number: 4562389Abstract: To permit reliable turn-OFF of the motor when the torque of the motor is sufficient to provide for reliable seating of a screw or nut being driven thereby, start conditions of the motor are sensed, either in form of low-current condition or high power factor; high-torque conditions are sensed by low power factor, or high-current, in dependence on the desired torque level which results, respectively, in a comparatively steep phase angle-torque or current level-torque curve. A switch control is energized to turn-OFF the motor current if the phase angles, or the motor current, respectively, are beyond predetermined levels. To prevent in-rush current, or high power factors from affecting the operation of the turn-OFF system, timing circuits are provided to disable the turn-OFF system when the motor is first turned-ON or if the phase angle difference, as determined by time-comparator networks, between current and voltage, is below a predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1983Date of Patent: December 31, 1985Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Jundt, Gunter Schaal, Fritz Schadlich, Hans-Joachim Vogt, Steffen Wunsch

Patent number: 4166313Abstract: A typical embodiment has an end fitting for a nuclear reactor fuel element that is joined to the control rod guide tubes by means of a nut plate assembly. The nut plate assembly has an array of nuts, each engaging the respective threaded end of the control rod guide tubes. The nuts, moreover, are retained on the plate during handling and before fuel element assembly by means of hollow cylindrical locking cups that are brazed to the plate and loosely circumscribe the individual enclosed nuts. After the nuts are threaded onto the respective guide tube ends, the locking cups are partially deformed to prevent one or more of the nuts from working loose during reactor operation. The locking cups also prevent loose or broken end fitting parts from becoming entrained in the reactor coolant. A tool for selectively locking and unlocking the nuts is presented.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1977Date of Patent: September 4, 1979Assignee: The Babcock & Wilcox CompanyInventor: Lewis A. Walton
