A park lock for an output drive gear includes a pawl, a rotational cam, and a rotational spring. The pawl has an engagement protrusion that extends outward from a body disposed on a pawl rotational shaft, such that rotation moves the engagement protrusion toward the output drive gear. The rotational cam rotates such that a circumferential side engages with a portion of the pawl opposite the engagement protrusion, causing rotation of the pawl about the rotational pawl shaft to move the engagement protrusion towards the output drive gear. The rotational spring maintains tension on the pawl and cam such that the engagement protrusion maintains an engagement with the output drive gear based on rotation of the cam and a speed of the output drive gear.

A device for forming circumferential grooves in pipe elements uses multiple geared cam bodies mounted on a carriage which rotates about a fixed pinion. The gears engage with the pinion which causes the geared cam bodies to rotate relative to the carriage. Traction surfaces and cam surfaces on the cam bodies traverse the outer surface of the pipe element and impress a circumferential groove therein. To substantially prevent rotation of the pipe element the pitch circle diameter of the pinion equals the outer diameter of the pipe element and the pitch circle diameters of the traction surfaces equal the pitch circle diameters of the gears.

A cam-operated rapid fire triggering device for use with a gun having a trigger includes a body member having a front and rear faces and the front and rear faces extending between a first and second ends, the body member having an elongate and planer configuration. The body member includes upper and lower edges, the upper and lower edges extending between the first and second ends, respectively. The body member defines a plurality of apertures separated from one another and positioned laterally between the first and second ends, each aperture extending between the first and second faces. The upper edge defines a plurality of alternating ridges and recesses positioned between the first and second end of the body member and configured to selectively bear against the trigger when the body member is pulled from side to side across the trigger.

A cam mechanism used is provided with: a cam ring forming a circle around an axis and including a plurality of cam faces arranged circumferentially on a face of the circle facing in an axial direction, each of the cam faces sloping in a circumferential direction relative to a circumferential face perpendicular to the axis; a pressure ring adjacent axially to the face of the cam ring and including a plurality of cam faces opposed to the face of the cam ring and respectively symmetrical to the plurality of cam faces of the cam ring, the pressure ring being rotatable relatively to the cam ring about the axis; and a plurality of taper rollers interposed between the cam ring and the pressure ring, each of the taper rollers including a conical face tapering radially inwardly and capable of rolling on the cam faces.

A device for cold working pipe elements has two or more cams, each having a gear. The gears turn synchronously with one another. Each cam has a cam surface with a region of increasing radius and may have a region of constant radius extending around a cam body. Each cam also has a traction surface extending around a cam body. A discontinuity in each cam surface is aligned with a gap in the traction surface of each cam. The discontinuities and gaps provide clearance for insertion and removal of the pipe element between the cams to form a circumferential groove when the cams are rotated.

A device for cold working pipe elements has two or more cams, each having a gear, the gears being synchronized to turn all of the cams. Each cam has a cam surface with a region of increasing radius and may have a region of constant radius extending around a cam body. One or more cams may also have a traction surface extending around a cam body. A discontinuity in each cam surface is aligned with a gap in the traction surface of each cam. The discontinuities and gaps provide clearance for insertion and removal of the pipe element between the cams to form a circumferential groove when the cams are rotated. An engagement body is mounted between the cams to engage and disengage from a stop surface on one of the cams. Engagement between the engagement body and a stop surface prevents rotation of the cams.
