Abstract: A downstroke baler comprising a compaction chamber through which a platen is reciprocated vertically by spaced pressure actuated cylinders secured to opposite ends of the platen. The lower end of an actuating rod rests upon a support plate secured to the frame of the baler and a bracket secured to the frame of the baler is positioned adjacent the upper end of the actuating rod to restrain the actuating rod against vertical movement. A sleeve is secured to the platen and slides along the actuating rod such that the actuating rod is maintained perpendicular to the face of the platen. The upper end of the actuating rod is connected through an actuating link to valves secured to the frame of the baler. The valves control a hydraulic circuit connected to the cylinders which raise and lower the platen such that movement of the platen from a horizontal attitude causes the actuating rod to be moved from a vertical attitude thereby changing flow of fluid to the cylinders to return the platen to a horizontal attitude. The rod ends of the cylinders are in continuous communication with the source of pressurized fluid. A valve between the source of pressurized fluid and base ends of the cylinders is shiftable to a first position to direct pressurized fluid to the base ends of the cylinders to elevate the platen and is shiftable to a second position venting base ends of the cylinders to move the platen downwardly.

Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid inertia tool in which the kinetic energy of flowing liquid is converted to useful work by decelerating the liquid flow and directing the inertia force in the water against a movable element in the liquid flow-containing structure which in turn moves against a work piece. Flow deceleration is achieved by an orifice-effect valve. The valve is reset for flow resumption or acceleration by automatically or selectively applying hydraulic pressure to a reset mechanism. Use of the inertia tool in pile driving and punch press applications is disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming a twisted wire tie, includes a wire guide member moveable between an open position for receiving a workpiece, such as crossed reinforcing bars, and a closed position for guiding a length of wire around the bars. An abutment is engageable with the workpiece to hold the workpiece clamped between the guide member and the abutment and adjacent to a wire twist member engageable with opposite ends of a length of wire to form the twisted loop type closure or tie. Feed mechanism comprising opposed rotary feedwheels or a linear actuator and spaced apart wire clamps operate in conjunction with closure of the guide member to a wire receiving position to feed wire to the guide member. A wire holder and drag force exerting plate is supported adjacent to the twist member for engagement with the wire ends to impart drag forces on the wire as it is twisted to form the closure. In one embodiment the motor may be connected to a lead screw and follower arrangement for controlling the number of twists and in another embodiment the motor may be operably connected to a lead screw and timing nut and associated mechanism for controlling an operating cycle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a torque transmitting and blocking device which includes a cylindrical drum, a pair of arcuate shoes positioned within the drum, and a spanner bar extending between the shoes to one side of the axis of the drum. On the other side of the drum axis the shoes are displaceable toward each other, and may conveniently be lightly biased apart. The shoes have surfaces, which may include holes, lateral or transverse projections, or the ends of the shoes, through which rotative forces may be transmitted from sources external of the drum and through which the shoes may retransmit such forces. Application of a rotational force through such a surface into a shoe in a direction tending to displace the shoes toward each other results in rotation of the shoes and bar within the drum, and consequent transmission of torque, if desired, out of the drum through another shoe surface. Application of a rotational force into a shoe in a direction tending to displace the shoes away from each other throws the shoes into a jamming relationship with the wall of the drum and prevents transmission of torque past or through the device. Applications of the device in apparatuses for winches, stepping clutches, and automatic load holders are disclosed.

Abstract: A main screw feeder having a main screw housing set at an incline from the base of a bin. The main screw housing has two outlets, the advanced outlet and the recycle outlet. The advance outlet communicates with a metering screw housing in which twin screws of identical pitch are rotated in synchronous, intermeshed revolution. The delivery outlet for the metering screw housing communicates with the processing stages. The recycle outlet is positioned at an elevation higher than the advance outlet and discharges to the bin. A flow measuring device measures the return flow of granulated or powdered material expelled from the recycle outlet. The flow measuring device projects a prestressed cable into the recycle path of the return flow. A device for measuring any deflection of the cable and fluctuations in the tension thereon produce a signal which is a function of the return flow and which is used to control the speed of the main screw feeder.

Abstract: A combination electric motor driven vacuum pump and air compressor unit, particularly adapted to use in medical procedures, is mounted in an insulated cabinet arranged to provide for drawing cooling air into the cabinet through an inlet duct, cause cooling air to flow over an aftercooler part of a compressed air discharge conduit to aftercool compressed air, and cause cooling air to flow through the pump/compressor unit and be discharged from the cabinet. A pressure air receiver tank is mounted in the cabinet and is operably connected to a condensate receiver and a control valve for discharging condensate to an evaporator container connected to the aftercooler conduit part to evaporate condensate. A control circuit includes solenoid actuated valves for controlling vacuum produced by the pump/compressor unit and actuation of a flexible tube clamp mechanism for cutting off vacuum from a vacuum device, such as a cannula, during certain phases of a liposuction medical procedure, for example. A manual vacuum release valve is also connected to the pump/compressor unit for manually releasing vacuum to allow replacement or emptying of a debris collection canister disposed between the flexible tube clamp and the pump/compressor unit suction port. Vacuum pressure may be selectively controlled by controls including a vacuum sensor, a potentiometer controller and a comparator circuit.
