A joint assembly for use in a motor vehicle. The joint assembly includes a first joint member that is drivingly connected to a second joint member via one or more third joint members. At least a portion of the first joint member is drivingly connected to at least a portion of a first shaft and at least a portion of the second joint member is drivingly connected to at least a portion of a second shaft. One or more first joint member tool grooves circumferentially extends along the outer surface of the first joint member. The joint assembly further includes a nut that drivingly connects at least a portion of a third shaft to at least a portion of the second shaft. The nut includes one or more nut tool grooves circumferentially extending along the outer surface of the nut.

The load coupling provided here comprises a first coupling member operatively associated with an actuator. The first coupling member has at least one first coupling formation. The load coupling further comprises a second coupling member adapted for operative coupling with the first coupling member. The second coupling member includes an attachment formation operatively adapted to attach the second coupling member to a target component to which force generated by the actuator is to be transferred. The second coupling member defines a second coupling formation operatively associated with a selected first coupling formation of the first coupling member. The selected first coupling formation has (i) a secure orientation relative to the second coupling formation in which the first coupling member is secured to the second coupling member and (ii) a release orientation relative to the second coupling formation in which the first coupling member is adapted to be removed from the second coupling member.

An Inflation Changing Tool is a tool having a C-clamp, handle, punch, angle iron, stopper and duckbill. The tool is configured to facilitate the removal and replacement of a milk inflator.

An apparatus includes a body, a shaft assembly, and an end effector. The shaft assembly includes an outer tube, an inner tube, and an acoustic waveguide. The end effector includes an ultrasonic blade and a clamp arm. The ultrasonic blade is acoustically coupled with the acoustic waveguide. A first portion of the clamp arm is pivotably coupled with a distal end of the outer tube. A second portion of the clamp arm is pivotably coupled with a distal end of the inner tube. The outer tube and the inner tube are configured to removably couple with the body such that the outer tube, the inner tube, and the clamp arm are configured to removably couple with the body and the remainder of the shaft assembly and end effector as a unit.

A device and method for operating a motor-actuated working device is provided. A certain working operation requires a rise in an applied force to a certain working force. The device enables a rise in the force to a general working force that exceeds the certain working force and an apparatus is provided for monitoring the device value. For the certain working operation, an evaluation is performed to detect the characteristic change and that the attainment of the characteristic change is used as a signal for ending the certain working operation after the certain working force has been attained but before the general working force has been attained.

A cap removal device is adapted to remove end caps from water pump devices. The cap removal device has a cap remover that is adapted to be secured to the end caps of pressure vessels. The cap removal device further has a honed tube that is adapted to stabilize the cap removal device and the end cap during removal of the end cap thereby preventing cross-threading. The cap removal device also has a puller handle that is adapted to make removal of the end cap more efficient.

A puller spacer has a cylindrical and elongated body. The puller spacer has a slot formed in a side of the body. The slot extends from a center bore of the puller spacer to an exterior of the puller spacer. Wires that extend out of a steering column are routed through a bottom of the puller spacer and into a center bore of the puller spacer, with an end of each of the wires extending out of the slot formed in a side of the puller spacer. The puller spacer is positioned between a distal end of a center threaded member of a steering wheel puller and the top of the steering column. The steering wheel puller engages the steering wheel and the center threaded member of the steering wheel puller is advanced to pull the steering wheel away from the steering column.

A method for disassembling a pipe joint is provided. A radially expandable sleeve positioned on a shaft is inserted into a distal open end of a pipe of the pipe joint. A sleeve nut on a threaded portion of the shaft is tightened against the sleeve to urge the sleeve to longitudinally slide along a tapered distal end of the shaft in a distal direction. The sleeve radially expands as the sleeve slides in the distal direction along the tapered distal end of the shaft. The sleeve is radially expanded until an interference fit is formed between the sleeve and the pipe. A force is then exerted upon the shaft to urge the shaft in a proximal direction and remove the pipe from a pipe fitting of the pipe joint.

A bolt extractor structure includes: a main body, including a base plate, first wall, and second wall, both sides of the base plate vertically combined with the first wall and second wall, the first wall and second wall respectively provided with an opposite first shaft hole, each of the shaft holes provided with a first shaft, the first wall and second wall respectively having a first recess and second recess, and the first recess provided with an abutting element; and a hook body, one end thereof having a through hole, the first shaft passed through the through hole, another end of the hook body having a hooking portion.
