A skid for supporting a reciprocating pump assembly, the reciprocating pump assembly including a power end frame assembly having a pair of end plate segments and a plurality of middle plate segments disposed between the end plate segments. The end plate segments each have at least a pair of feet and the middle plate segments each having at least one foot. The skid includes a base and a plurality of pads extending from the base. At least a portion of the plurality of pads correspond to the end plate segment feet and at least another portion of the plurality of pads correspond to the at least one foot of each middle plate segment.

A pipe-shaped member of the present invention is a pipe-shaped member (1) which includes a flat plate portion (1h1, 1h2) placed in at least one end portion (1a1) of two end portions of the pipe, formed in a flat plate shape, and including groove-shaped recessed portions (ta1, tb1, tb2) formed in one and another extended surfaces in the flat plate shape. The recessed portions (ta1, tb1, tb2) are formed such that the flat plate portion (1h1, 1h2) has at least a substantially W-shape, in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the flat plate portion (1h1, 1h2), and with a depth not reaching a boundary (1ha) between one plate (1h1) and the other plate (1h2) of the flat plate portion (1h1, 1h2).

A fixed die and a punch, which moves toward and away from the die, are provided. A series of bulges is formed in sheet metal between depressions and projections of the die and projections and depressions of the punch. In forming, the punch moves toward the die such that the sheet metal is pressed between first convex sections and second and third convex sections of the die and the punch, and subsequently the sheet metal is pressed between fourth convex sections.

The present disclosure provides an adjustment aid for a joining device having a punch and a counter-tool which can be oriented coaxially to one another and can be moved axially towards each other for a joining movement relative to one another. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a method for adjusting a joining device with a punch and counter-tool. A grid marking is embossed in a reshaped test part with the assistance of an embossable grid marking on a punch surface or on a counter surface of the counter-tool. This grid marking is evaluable in comparison to the discernible impressions of the punch surface and counter surface of the counter-tool.

The inventive subject matter is directed to continuous electrochemical production of highly pure micro- or nanostructured lead that at least partially encloses the electroprocessing solvent and molecular hydrogen and optional guest compounds to form a mixed matrix. Such compositions are particularly suitable for cold forming of various structures and/or for alloy and composite material production.

A plurality of protruding portions is formed in a metal plate material through a plurality of steps by use of forming tools each of which includes a die and a punch. An arrangement pitch between a concave portion and a convex portion for use in forming the protruding portions in the die and the punch that are used in a post-process is made narrower than an arrangement pitch between a concave portion and a convex portion for use in forming the protruding portions in the die and the punch that are used in a pre-process.

A handcuff of the present invention includes a first forged cheek frame half including a first cheek arm and a first lockset cavity portion and a second forged cheek frame half including a second cheek arm and a second lockset cavity portions. When the first and second forged cheek frame halves are combined, the first and second lockset cavity portions portion combine to form a lockset cavity between the first and second cheek frame halves. A bow having outwardly facing teeth along a portion of the bow is rotatably fastened to the first and second cheek arms. A removable lock mechanism disposed within the lockset cavity, the lock mechanism comprising movable pawls corresponding to the teeth, wherein the pawls releasably engage the teeth when the bow is rotated into engagement with the lock mechanism.
