SELF-REACTING CENTER WHEEL NUT ASSEMBLY, DRIVER ASSEMBLY, TOOL ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

A self-reacting center wheel nut assembly includes a reaction ring (120) formed between a center wheel nut (110) and a lock collar assembly (130). The self-reacting center wheel nut assembly may also include a washer (140) and O-rings. The self-reacting center wheel nut assembly improves and simplifies wheel bolt tightening; uses the lock collar assembly as a reaction point by transferring opposing torque generated during installation and removal through the reaction ring, which is reacted on by a dual sleeved drive assembly; may be used with HYTORC electric battery powered torque multiplier gun/tools to deliver quick, accurate and precise torque; eliminates the need for external reaction points such as the rim or ground, thereby eliminating side loads and damage to the wheel; is fully sealed and lubricated; eliminates vehicle movement and the need to lock the brakes; reduces operator fatigue, chances of injury and saves operator time and energy.

Fittings, components, and associated tools

Fittings that generally include a unitary body having an outer surface and an inner lumen forming a void within said unitary body. The lumen is configured to receive threads for mating with the threads of a female sub end of a pipe or tube. The outer surface includes at least one aperture for receiving a tool that can be inserted within said aperture so as to rotate the fitting about an axis that extends through the lumen of the unitary body. The at least one apertures provide a safe and convenient way to tighten and loosen the fitting during the process of coupling pipe or tubing.

Wear liner

According to the invention, there is provided a magnetic wear liner (10) for protecting an underlying metallic surface (12) of a materials handling device from wear or damage during use. The magnetic wear liner includes a substantially rigid base (16) and one or more wear lining tiles (18) disposed on one side of the rigid base. The magnetic wear liner further includes one or more magnet devices (26) engageable with the rigid base such that a selective portion of the wear liner (10) is magnetically attracted to the underlying metallic surface.

BATTERY MODULE ENSURING AIRTIGHTNESS FOR HV TERMINAL, AND BATTERY PACK COMPRISING SAME

The present invention relates to a battery module and a battery pack, and provides airtightness, particularly, a sealing property for a high voltage (HV) terminal, thereby preventing the penetration of moisture from the outside and increasing the durability of the battery pack.

Fastening system and method
11415161 · 2022-08-16 · ·

A fastening system including a bolt with a shank defining a bolt axis and a bolt head secured to the shank. The bolt head includes a bolt head body with two channels therein, and two slots aligned with the channels. The channels and the slots extend between oppositely positioned axis-parallel surfaces. The channels are partially defined by internal walls in the bolt head body. The bolt head includes a cap surface transverse to the bolt axis. The system also includes a tool with a blade defining a tool axis, with a tip located at the second end. The tip is receivable in the channels. To rotate the bolt, the tip is positioned in a selected one of the channels, to align the tool axis with the bolt axis. Rotation of the bolt is urged by the tool, when the tool is rotated about the tool axis.

Internal breakoff set screw and driver
