HANDRAIL CATCH BASKET
20200386003 · 2020-12-10 ·

The present invention is a handrail catch basket designed for working on the opposite side of a handrail. During operation, the basket is placed under a drop hazard that is being worked on and is placed so as to capture objects that may drop inadvertently. The basket has a chamber to contain tools, and a 360-degree trough around the main chamber to contain the parts or tools, if inadvertently angled while removing. The basket may also have ready anchor points to attach tethers, and stabilizer brackets that will hold onto a handrail and keep it from tipping during use. The base is a strainer which allows water to run through to keep the parts wet which helps reduce radioactive contamination from spreading.

Tensioning device and method for tensioning a workpiece
10800020 · 2020-10-13 · ·

A tensioning device for tensioning a workpiece includes a main body having a chamber, a fluid inlet providing fluid communication between a fluid source and the chamber, a puller member supported in the main body and configured to engage the workpiece, and a piston positioned in the chamber and coupled to the puller member. Movement of the piston moves the puller member along a piston axis in at least a first direction. The tensioning device further includes a sensor coupled to the piston and operative to measure a displacement of the piston and/or the puller member in a direction parallel to the piston axis. The sensor generates a signal indicative of the displacement.
