| 20090013518 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TENSILE STRESS OF A SHANK, SUCH AS A SCREW OR DOWEL PIN, AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD - In a method for controlling tensile stress of a clamping rod, such as a screw or pin, by the axial extension of the rod and the positioning of at least one retaining member, before the rod is released, such that the latter is blocked at the two ends of the useful clamping length with a residual clamping tensile force, measurements are made which represent the elongation of the rod in the stretched state under a measured extension force and of the rod after release in relation to the rod before extension, by comparing values supplied by at least one sensor during extension and after release with a reference value supplied by this sensor before extension, and, on the basis of these data, a residual clamping force in the useful clamping length of the released rod after extension is calculated. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20120066885 | SINGLE RETAINER MOUNTED RISER - A fastening device and method for mounting equipment to a framing member. The invention includes a single breakaway fastener that is pretentioned using a biasing member to fracture on a predetermined force applied to the fastened joint to avoid damage to the secured equipment. In one example the device and method includes the fastener having a reduced diameter portion that is positioned between an annular plate and the framing member. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20120204408 | ROBOTIC SAFETY STOP FOR AUTOMATED STORAGE LIBRARY - A connector has first and second ends. The first end is configured to contact a door of the automated storage library when the door is in at least a first position. A safety stop is connected to the second end of the connector and adapted to move from a down position to an up position. The safety stop is in the down position when the door is in the first position. The connector is adapted to travel in a lateral direction corresponding to a similar movement of the door as the door is opened between the first position and a second position, causing the safety stop to move from the down position to an up position to prevent travel of the robotic accessor beyond the safety stop. | 08-16-2012 |
| 20130180095 | Method and reel device for threading tendons into ducts - A method is described for threading a tendon into a duct from an opening at an intermediate point along the length of the duct. Opposite ends of the tendon are threaded from a reel into the two halves of the duct. The tendon is wound on to the reel such that both ends of the tendon can be unwound into the duct simultaneously. A reel and a method for winding the tendon on to the reel are also claimed. The method and reel are particularly suitable for threading coated steel tendons into PT ducts in tall structures such as containment vessels. | 07-18-2013 |
| 20160047458 | Method of Installing a Motor on a Gear Box - A method of mounting a motor to a gearbox includes positioning a coupling along an input shaft of the gearbox from a starting position to a first alignment position. In the starting position, the coupling drivingly engages a greater portion of the gearbox input shaft than in the first alignment position. In the first alignment position, the coupling operatively contacts the motor output shaft. Another step includes rotating the coupling so that the coupling aligns with the motor output shaft. Another step includes axially positioning the coupling at a second alignment position such that the coupling drivingly engages both the motor output and the gearbox input shafts. Another step includes positioning the motor to allow mounting of the motor on the gearbox with the coupling at a third alignment position drivingly engaging a greater portion of the motor output and the gearbox input shafts than in the second alignment position. | 02-18-2016 |
| 20160069365 | TOOL COUPLER FOR A CLAMPING SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR FOR CLAMPING A WELDING SADDLE TO A PLASTIC PIPE, AND A CLAMPING SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR CLAMPING - A tool coupler for a clamping system, in particular for clamping a welding saddle to a plastic pipe, comprising a body having a drive end and an opposite output end, a first positive engagement means being formed at the drive end and a second positive engagement means being formed at the output end, the first positive engagement means being adapted to engage a torque wrench to drive the body, and the second positive engagement means being adapted to engage a slotted strap shaft of a tensioning ratchet of a clamping system to transfer torques by positive engagement. | 03-10-2016 |
