Abstract: An air conditioner filter removing system for air filters located in elevated return-air vents, such as return-air vent mounted in a ceiling or upper wall. The device consists of a filter-grabbing mechanism that can be mounted to an extension pole. The filter-grabbing mechanism has teeth protruding from it to grab an air filter and a holding plate where the filter is balanced once engaged by the teeth. In its preferred embodiment, the system has one or more magnets for holding the return-air vent door closed so the filter-grabbing mechanism can easily pull the vent open. Further, the preferred embodiment also has kicker plates that help removal of the teeth out of the grill louvers they are inserted into, on the vent door.

Abstract: A wafer transfer robot, having a robot hand which transfers a wafer in an improved driving manner by changing a driving force transfer device of the robot hand, is disclosed. The wafer transfer robot having at least robot hand to transfer a wafer includes an arm frame supported on an elevating shaft to vertically move the robot hand, wherein the robot hand includes a first robot arm rotatably supported on the arm frame, a second robot arm rotatably supported at an end of the first robot arm, a first driving device which rotates the first robot arm to rotate the robot hand, a second driving device which rotates the second robot arm to extend and contract the robot hand in a radial direction with the first driving device, and a controller which operates the first driving device and stops the second driving device when the robot hand is rotated, and operates both the first driving device and the second driving device at the same time when the robot hand is extended and contracted in a radial direction. The wafer transfer robot can be rotated and linearly move in a radial direction by providing the first driving device and the second driving device on the robot hand, thereby greatly decreasing the capacity of the motor serving as a driving device and reducing the cost.

Abstract: A drive mechanism for an industrial robot arm, having a simple drive system, in which an extracting part of an umbilical member for a work tool is suitably positioned and a device for the work tool is positioned on the forearm so as not to project out, while the basic configuration of the robot arm may be similar to the prior art. A motor for a first wrist element is positioned in the area between a forearm and an upper arm such that the rotation axis of the motor is perpendicular to a second axis. Further, the motor is positioned at the point shifted toward the wrist element or a front end of the forearm, in relation to a first axis, along the longitudinal direction of the forearm. Therefore, a wide area for a wire feeder may be obtained above a bottom portion of the forearm.

Abstract: A collapsible remote mechanical grasping apparatus that can be used to grasp explosive devices is provided. The collapsible remote mechanical grasping apparatus comprises a first rod and a second rod which are connected by a joint assembly. The collapsible remote mechanical grasping apparatus further includes a claw assembly pivotably connected to the second rod, a cable assembly mounted to the first rod, and a slidable locking sleeve assembly positioned around the first rod, the joint assembly, and the second rod. The cable assembly comprises a claw control lever and an actuation cable that is mechanically connected to the claw control lever and the claw assembly. Actuation of the claw control lever causes the actuation of the claw assembly. Additionally, the joint assembly allows the second rod to pivot towards the first rod when the slidable locking sleeve is retracted from the second rod and the joint assembly.
