Provided is an apparatus for preparing wire rope having a stand; a first cross-member; a second cross-member; a first clamp arm; a second clamp arm; a first clamp; a second clamp; an adjustment wheel; an adjustment screw; and an adjustment gear; wherein the second cross-member is at least partially contained within the first cross-member; wherein the first clamp is disposed at the distal end of the first clamp arm, the second clamp is disposed at the distal end of the second clamp arm, and wherein the first and second clamp arm are spaced from each other; and wherein the distance between the first and second clamp arm is adjustable. Also provided is a method of use for the same.

A lifting and support device comprises a first yoke having a first support arm that defining a first wedge slot above the first support arm and a second yoke pivotally coupled to the first yoke having a second support arm inwardly extending toward and laterally spaced from the first support arm and defining a second wedge slot above the second support arm. The first and second wedge slots are substantially aligned when the first and second yokes are in a closed position. A wedge is configured for insertion within the first and second wedge slots when the first and second wedge slots are substantially aligned to hold a structure between the wedge and the first and second support arms of the first and second yokes in order to support a structure relative to the lifting and support device.

A socket fusion jig includes a pipe saddle and coupling saddle spaced apart. Rotation of a handle causes the pipe saddle and coupling saddle to move laterally relative to one another so that the pipe held in the pipe saddle may be fused to the coupling held in the coupling saddle.

The invention concerns a device (1) for hoop reinforcing of restrictors inside at least two hydraulic supply standby systems of a journal bearing. Said device is remarkable in that it comprises: a frame (2) for receiving said hearing, a syringe (3) for introducing said restrictors and a torque pick-off spindle (4), and in that said frame (2) comprises: a cradle (21), a guide plate (23) pierced with two guide openings (231), inclined at the same angle as those of said backup systems of the bearing, so as to be located in the extension of same when the bearing is in the frame, said guide openings (231) being shaped to receive said syringe (3) or said torque pick-off spindle (4).

An apparatus for assembling pipe fittings includes a base, an adjustable vice assembly and a pipe wrench turning unit. The adjustable vice assembly is mounted to the base and is operable for securely holding a first pipe fitting. A second pipe fitting is loosely threaded on to the first threaded pipe fitting. A pipe wrench engages the second pipe fitting. A motorized pipe wrench turning unit includes a drive shaft which rotates an offset member which, in turn, engages and turns the pipe wrench handle in order to screw the second pipe fitting on to the first pipe fitting. The apparatus for assembling pipe fittings may also be operated in a reverse fashion to disassemble pipe fitting sub-assemblies.

A handheld clamping tool is provided that is adapted to clamp to and secure rounded work pieces, including lengths of tubing without damaging the same. The tool comprises a locking clamp embodiment and a plyer clamp embodiment, whereby the tool includes a pair of jaws with one or more semicircular apertures therealong that align to form rounded openings when the jaws are brought together. In one embodiment, the tool includes a movable jaw and a fixed jaw, along with a handle and grip that are lockable in a static state. Along the upper portion of the locking embodiment is a vice block in which the locking clamp can be held by a bench vice and the tool can support a tube without interaction by the user. In another embodiment, the tool comprises a pair of handles, a pair of jaws, and a fixed pivot point between the handles.

The present disclosure is directed to a coupling assembly for a turbomachine. The coupling assembly includes a liner and a sleeve at least partially positioned circumferentially around the liner. A frame is positioned between the liner and the sleeve. The frame includes a first side wall, a second side wall, and a base wall extending from the first side wall to the second side wall. A block is positioned between the liner and the sleeve and is movable relative to the frame to permit the block to move toward and away from the base wall. Moving the block away from the base wall causes the block to exert an inward force on the liner and the base wall to exert an outward force on the sleeve.

An apparatus for heating an elongate tubular article, such as a heat shrinkable sleeve applied around a welded pipe joint during pipeline construction. The apparatus is in the form of a frame which can be disposed around the article, the frame having a heater device having both longitudinally disposed heating zones and radially disposed heating sectors, each of which can be independently controlled. Alternatively, or in combination, the apparatus can have an air circulation system. Also, a method for shrinking a heat shrinkable sleeve comprising use of said apparatus.

A socket fusion jig includes a pipe saddle and coupling saddle spaced apart. Rotation of a handle causes the pipe saddle and coupling saddle to move laterally relative to one another so that the pipe held in the pipe saddle may be fused to the coupling held in the coupling saddle.

A clamp assembly includes two curved clamp halves terminating in two clamp members, one or more fasteners for fastening the clamp members towards each other so as to apply a radially-inward clamping force, and a multiple-degree-of-freedom hinge that couples the clamp halves to each other so that the clamp halves can translate and rotate with respect to each other.
