SMOOTHING ROLLER ASSEMBLY
A turret head assembly for forming an article includes at least one smoothing roller. Each of the at least one smoothing roller is rotatably mounted on a respective at least one roller support member. The turret head assembly further includes an upper ring member and a lower ring member. The upper and lower ring members include respective apertures located in the centers thereof. The at least one roller support member extends between the upper ring member and the lower ring member. The turret head assembly further includes a turret head-assembly support member defining a turret-head axis. The turret-head-assembly member extends through the respective apertures in the upper and lower ring members.
TOOL FOR REPAIRING OUT-OF-ROUND COMPONENT
A tool for repairing an out-of-round component such as a combustor body is disclosed. The tool includes a base including a first arcuate member; a second arcuate member; and a linear actuator coupling the second arcuate member to the base. The linear actuator moves the second arcuate member between a retracted position out of engagement with the out-of-round component and an extended position in which the first arcuate member and the second arcuate member engage an interior surface of the out-of-round component in an opposing relationship to force the out-of-round component into a more round state compared to an initial state of the out-of-round component. A related method is also disclosed.
Appliance, method and device for straightening wheels
A wheel straightening apparatus including a rotatable attachment mechanism radially connected to a spindle that includes a locking cuff radially surrounding the spindle a sleeve coaxial to and rotatably connected to the locking cuff, an arm member having a first end and a second end opposed to the first end, a first face and a second face opposed to the first face, the first face of the elongated member connected to the sleeve at a location proximate to the first end and oriented parallel to the outer surface of the locking cuff, the arm member projecting perpendicularly outward from the locking cuff relative to the first edge of the locking cuff and a socket connected to the second face of the arm member at a location proximate to the second end of the arm member configured to removably receive a wheel working appliance.

Sheet metal dent repair tool exchange handle
A sheet metal dent repair hook exchange handle including a hand grip; and a handle element coupling, wherein the handle element coupling includes a receiver for a coupling element that is connectable or connected with a shaft of a sheet metal dent repair hook, and a locking arrangement for a disengageable support of the coupling element against an unintentional axial movement out of the handle element coupling, and an arresting arrangement for a disengage able support of the coupling element in an inner teething arranged in the handle element coupling. The locking arrangement includes locking devices that engage a recess in a portion of the cylindrical coupling element which portion is insertable into the handle element coupling.

Paintless vehicle dent repair tool
A paintless vehicle dent repair tool for repairing dents, such as dents caused by hail damage, in the top of a vehicle. The repair tool includes an elongated, annular shaped, tool body. The tool body includes a concave, wedge-shaped end portion for engaging and removing glue from a dent and a hollow opposite end portion. The hollow opposite end portion is used for holding a removable spray bottle of alcohol. A spray of alcohol is used for helping release dried glue from a raised dent on a vehicle.

System and Method for Repairing Dents in Wind Turbine Tower Sections and a Related Dent Repair Tool
A system for repairing dents in a wind turbine tower section may generally include a dent repair tool having a tool hub and a plurality of arms configured to extend radially outwardly from the tool hub towards an inner surface of the tower section. The tool may also include a linear actuator configured to linearly actuate a plunger of the actuator arm relative to the tool hub such that the plunger applies a radially outward force against the inner surface of the tower section at or adjacent to a location of a dent formed in the tower section. In addition, the system may include a load sensor configured to provide an indication of a load associated with the radially outward force applied against the inner surface of the tower section by the plunger and a controller configured to monitor the load based on signals received from the load sensor.
APPLIANCE, METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STRAIGHTENING WHEELS
A wheel straightening apparatus including a rotatable attachment mechanism radially connected to a spindle that includes a locking cuff radially surrounding the spindle a sleeve coaxial to and rotatably connected to the locking cuff, an arm member having a first end and a second end opposed to the first end, a first face and a second face opposed to the first face, the first face of the elongated member connected to the sleeve at a location proximate to the first end and oriented parallel to the outer surface of the locking cuff, the arm member projecting perpendicularly outward from the locking cuff relative to the first edge of the locking cuff and a socket connected to the second face of the arm member at a location proximate to the second end of the arm member configured to removably receive a wheel working appliance.
