20220323984 · 2022-10-13 ·

A sprinkler clamp assembly for servicing sprinkler heads includes a clamp that has a pair of curved jaws. Each of the curved jaws curves toward each other such that the pair of curved jaws defines a circle when the clamp is biased into a closed position. In this way the curved jaws can encircle a stem of a sprinkler head. Each of the curved jaws rests against a housing of the sprinkler head when the curved jaws are positioned around the stem of the sprinkler head. A head of the sprinkler head abuts each of the curved jaws when the stem retracts into the housing to retain the head in an exposed position for servicing.

The first support member can be implemented to interface with a first object and the second support member can be implemented to interface with a second object.

A TUBE COUPLING APPARATUS
20230070756 · 2023-03-09 ·

A tube coupling apparatus includes first and second clamping jaws that are mounted on a tool body. The clamping jaws are movable relative to each other between an open configuration in which they are receive a compressible tube connector, and a closed configuration in which they apply a compression force to compress the compressible tube coupling about one or more tube members. An actuator is arranged to move at least one of the clamping jaws to the closed configuration and a controller is operative to control the actuator. A sensor is provided that is arranged to determine a system parameter indicative of the compression force applied to the coupling by the clamping jaws and to progressively increase the compression force of the clamping jaws during a fitting operation. The controller monitors the system parameter data from the sensor and automatically controls the actuator to prevent the compression force exceeding a predetermined threshold based on the sensor data.

Cable clamping device of a processing machine

A cable clamping device includes a pair of grip jaws, a reset mechanism, and a handle connected to the grip jaws by the reset mechanism. The handle is pivotable about a handle pivot between a first position in which the grip jaws are in an open position and a second position in which the grip jaws are in a closed position around a cable. The reset mechanism pivots the handle from the second position to the first position before moving to a reset position of the reset mechanism that holds the handle in the first position.

A universal roller rebuilder apparatus and method includes a first holder, with an outer angled contact rim. The outer angled contact rim at least partially surrounds an access hole and further is conformed to contact with a roller. The roller includes at least one removable element inside the roller. A second holder includes an outer angled contact rim that at least partially surrounds an access hole. A pair of end brackets are connected with a support frame where the first holder is connected with one end bracket and the second holder is connected with the other end bracket. The pair of end brackets support the first holder and the second holder in alignment such that the roller is held in position with the aligned holders. A puller aligns and connects with the roller in the same alignment as the first holder and the second holder.

CLAMP FOR APPARATUSES FOR WELDING PIPES
20230182238 · 2023-06-15 · ·

A clamp, particularly for apparatuses for welding pipes, including a lower jaw and an upper jaw that are mutually opposite and hinged; each jaw is substantially made of plastic material; advantageously, each jaw includes a portion made of plastic material and at least one insert constituted by an interlocking metallic structure that is co-molded within the portion made of plastic material.

Oil filter wrench

An oil filter wrench having a base, a main gear, a plurality of claws each having a gear portion and an arm configured to engage an oil filter. The gear portions are rotatably disposed within the base and configured to engage the main gear such that when the main gear rotates; the arms correspondingly extend or contract relative to the base. The oil filter wrench also includes a main spring. The main spring is disposed within a cavity defined by the main gear. The main spring is configured to selectively bias the main gear toward rotation in either a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction. The oil filter wrench is characterised in that it also includes a switching mechanism a switching mechanism. The switching mechanism is configured to selectively toggle between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the switching mechanism engages a first tine of the main spring such that the main gear is biased to rotate in the first direction. In the second position, the switching mechanism engages a second tine of the main spring such that the main gear is biased to rotate in the second direction. The switching mechanism is toggled between the first and second positions by respectively engaging a first pin or a second pin that is integrated into one of the plurality of claws.

Centerline Clamp Assembly and Associated Systems and Methods
20220055188 · 2022-02-24 · ·

A centerline clamp assembly sized to insert into an end aperture of a pipe structure, characterized by two or more symmetrically-formed linkages interoperably connected in series, with each of these linkages comprising respective opposing toggle joints pivotally joined at their inner ends to a shared common linkage assembly and at their outer ends by a respective first linkage assembly and a second linkage assembly, with each linkage assembly defining a respective bore configured to concurrently receive an actuating shaft in position along a common geometric centerline axis of the pipe. Multiple alternative configurations may be used in which the number of linkages and linkage assemblies may be increased to achieve clamping action at multiple locations in a pipe structure, thus varying the clamping force according to the properties of the pipe. The configuration and number of linkage assemblies may serve as mounting platforms for instruments, tools, and/or accessories.
