Abstract:
A lock assembly has a body, a locking cylinder, a latching device, a linking device and a locking mechanism. The locking cylinder has a pushing lug. The linking device is connected to and driven by the latching device. The locking mechanism is driven by the pushing lug of the locking cylinder and has a bolt base, a pushing arm and a locking bolt. The bolt base is mounted slidably in the body and has an edge pushed by the pushing lug on the locking cylinder and a limiting tab. The locking bolt is slidably mounted on the bolt base and abuts with the limiting tab on the bolt base when the locking bolt retracts completely into or extends out from the body. The locking bolt has a blocking tab selectively blocks the linking device.
Abstract:
A general type press system with variable-speed slider-crank mechanism driven by a servomotor which can be used for various types of press work by providing various corresponding input speed trajectories. The press includes a frame, a linkage-mechanism with a crank as its input and a slider as its output, and a servomotor. The servomotor is used for driving the crank of the linkage-mechanism. The output motion of the press, i.e., the ram's motion, is accomplished by the slider of the mechanism. The speed of the servomotor is controlled by a micro-computer or a personal computer equipped with a digital signal processor (DSP). This computer supports a number of speed functions for different types of press work to obtain optimal processing results. Because the existing traditional linkage press can also be upgraded to a multi-purpose press, the disclosed press is an innovative design with the advantages of flexibility and practicability.

A geared motor includes a rotor mounted rotatably to a motor housing and having an output shaft along a rotating axis, and a stator secured to the motor housing to surround the rotor. The stator has a plurality of angularly displaced core segments with wall areas confronting magnetic pole units on the rotor, and a plurality of windings wound respectively around the core segments to create a torque so as to drive the output shaft. A planetary gear assembly includes a sun wheel mounted on the output shaft, an annulus secured to the motor housing and having an internally toothed annular surface, and a planet wheel meshing with the toothed surface and the sun wheel. A rotary member is rotated by a speed reduction drive transmitted from the planet wheel about a transmitting axis aligned with the rotating axis.

The present invention has less mechanical elements compared to the conventional mechanism so that the assembling time can be reduced. In addition, the present invention can effectively lower the rocking of the tool-changing arm upon swinging so as to enhance the positioning precision.
Abstract:
A mechanism controls the motion of the weft insertion member in shuttleless looms. This mechanism comprises a double-threaded variable pitch cylindrical cam and a slider having two pairs of frustoconical rollers. Each pair of frustoconical rollers is mounted on a thread of the variable pitch cylindrical cam. In operation, the cylindrical cam is able to rotate in a reciprocating manner by moving the slider in a rectilinear reciprocating manner. The mechanism is characterized in that the semi-conical angle of each frustoconical roller is formed such that the profile of the two threads of the variable pitch cam screw is easy to design and manufacture. In particular, the plane formed by the axes of each pair of frustoconical rollers is inclined at a predetermined angle in relation to the plane perpendicular to the axis of the variable pitch cylindrical cam and the predetermined angle is such that the thickness of each thread of the variable pitch cam screw is near constant, and uniform strength of each thread is obtained.

Abstract:
An automatic tool changer in a machining center includes a reducer, a compound cam, a cylindric cam, a four-bar mechanism, an elliptic trammel mechanism, and a tool changer device. The compound cam and the cylindric cam are driven by a motor after speed reduction through a belt and gear train. The compound cam which is composed of a roller gear cam and a face cam performs the tool change motions. During the tool change motions, the cylindric cam drives the follower which is fixed on the slider of the elliptic trammel mechanism to make the other slider push the pull bar which produces the pushing and pulling tool motions in the spindle head. By way of using this design, the tool change time is largely reduced, the tool change motions are smoother, and the cost is less expensive than the previous designs.
