A track roller includes a body having an annular configuration defining an axis of rotation, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction disposed about the axis of rotation. The body also defines a thru-hole extending axially through the body that is centered on the axis of rotation. A blind void is disposed annularly about the axis of rotation, the blind void being spaced radially away from the thru-hole a predetermined minimum distance, forming a cantilever portion defining a flex point and a flex radial distance measured radially from the flex point to the thru-hole.

Support element and a method for supporting an elongated beam, and a rotary platform

A rotary milking platform (1) comprises a platform (3) having a circular carrier beam (7) secured to the underside of the platform (3). The carrier beam (7) is supported on a plurality of support elements (10), each of which comprise a freely rotatable roller (35) which is configured to rollably engage an under surface (38) of the carrier beam (7). Each support element (10) comprises an anchor plate (27) adjustably mounted on a corresponding ground engaging element (20) which is secured to the ground. A carrier plate (40) is carried on four guide bolts (50) extending upwardly from the anchor plate (27). Side members (41) extending downwardly from the carrier plate (40) rotatably carry the roller (35). Compression springs (59) acting between abutment washers (55) secured to the guide bolts (50) and the carrier plate (40) urge the carrier plate (40) against heads (53) of the guide bolts (50). The compression springs (59) accommodate downward and upward movement of the roller (35) in order to accommodate rising and falling of the under surface (38) of the beam (7). The compression springs (59) permit tilting movement of the roller (35) about a tilt axis (61) which extends in the direction of motion of the beam (7) in order to facilitate tilting of the roller (35) to follow any non-horizontality of the under surface (38) of the beam (7). The tilt axis is located just below a line of contact (67) of the roller (35) with the under surface (38) of the beam (7) to minimise lateral movement of the roller relative to the beam (7) as the roller (35) tilts about the tilt axis.

JOINT MECHANISM
20230012864 · 2023-01-19 · ·

A joint mechanism comprises at least one body, at least one first roller and at least one second roller mutually positioned on said body and is configured to move any one of said first roller and second roller towards the other so as to allow a beam used particularly in vibration isolation mechanisms to translate along at least one first axis. The body has at least one first part and at least one second part essentially adjacent to each other and said first part and said second part are engaged by means of at least one first flexible element in a manner such that they allow at least partial movement with respect to each other, so as to allow said beam to be rotated at least partially around at least one rotating point in the direction of at least one second axis.

ORTHOPEDIC SCREW EXTRACTOR
20220411193 · 2022-12-29 · ·
