摘要:
Apparatus and a method for attaching replacement frictional lining material to a face of a lock-up piston for a torque converter of an automatic transmission. A housing encloses a pair of pressure plates which are electrically heated to automatically-controlled temperatures. A cylinder-and-piston assembly carries one of the pressure plates between an open position permitting a lock-up piston and a replacement friction lining material to be placed atop the other pressure plate. Closure of the door of the housing initiates an automatic cycle of application of pressure for a predetermined amount of time during which the heated pressure plates activate an adhesive material. An automatic timing device is adjustable to control the duration of application of pressure through operation of an electrically-controlled air valve.

A testing mechanism for detecting fluid leaks in a torque converter utilizing a seal which closes a passage through the torque converter hub to the interior of the housing of the torque converter. Fluid is then charged into the torque converter and maintained at a certain pressure. The torque converter is then immersed in a liquid found in a container to permit the observation of the escape of fluid from the torque converter.

A system for adapting a particular sprag unit to an existing stator of a torque converter having a ring-shaped body with an inner surface and a driving member. The system includes an annular retainer possessing an outer surface which fits along the inner surface of the stator. The retainer further includes an inner surface which slidingly engages a particular sprag unit having a plurality of sprags. The outer surface of the annular retainer is connected to the inner surface of the stator to prevent relative movement between these two elements. The sprag unit also contacts the surface of an inner race which possesses a central opening for meshing with a driving member may include a race having an outer surface which also engages the sprags of the clutch.

An alignment mechanism for replacement of a hub to a torque converter in order to weld the same utilizing a rotatable base member. A vice is employed and is supported by the base member. The vice has a plurality of jaws each including a multiplicity of flat surfaces. A particular flat surface of one particular jaw is co-planar with a flat surface of another jaw such that a torque converter impeller placed on the vice jaws would lie a plane. A shaft extends outwardly from the base member and lies on an axis that is perpendicular to any of the jaw flat surfaces or the planes formed by such flat surfaces. The shaft also passes through the hub and the torque converter impeller. The hub is held to the torque converter impeller when the welding process takes place.

A system for cleaning oil containing vehicular components with heated cleaning liquid comprising a washing unit having at least one spray nozzle for directing the cleaning liquid to the vehicular component. The system of the present invention also includes a reservoir for the cleaning liquid as well as a pump for supplying cleaning fluid to the liquid spray nozzle or nozzles. A heater in the form of a oil fired burner is utilized to pass heated exhaust gases through a heat exchange conduit which extends into the reservoir to impart heat to the cleaning liquid in the reservoir. The cooled exhaust gases are then exhausted through a stack. Oil is gathered from the vehicular component placed in a container which empties into a conduit to feed the oil fired burner to produce the hot exhaust gases.

An automatic welding turntable for welding together the cut-apart halves of a reconditioned torque converter is tilted to cause the bead of weld to fill the crack between the halves of the torque converter. A motor rotates the torque converter in a first direction while wire is fed to the stinger of a wire-fed arc welder. A sensor and a control circuit cause the torque converter to rotate 360.degree. plus a predetermined increment, stop welding, counter-rotate the predetermined increments, and shut down so that the turntable is set up to complete the next weld of 360.degree. plus the predetermined increment.

A method and apparatus for forming a wound strand package (20) comprise advancing a strand (14) to a rotating collet (22), reciprocating strand (14) in the direction of the axis of rotation (23) of the collet (22) by the action of strand oscillator (26) rotating at a first speed to lay the strand (14) onto the collet (22) in a helical pattern. reciprocating the strand oscillator (26) to lay the strand (14) onto the collet (22) in courses and rotating the strand oscillator (26) at a second speed less than the first speed during the winding of the first course of the strand (14).
摘要:
An array of fibers is passed in contact with a contact surface, creating a frictional drag force on the fibers. The drag force is modified to bring the fibers in the array to a uniform alignment in order to more easily divide the array into bundles of fibers.

A dynamometer provides an apparatus and method for testing a torque converter without requiring that an automotive transmission be attached. The dynamometer includes a prime mover mounted on a frame for driving the torque converter. A dynamic loading device with an eddy current brake is movably mounted on the frame. An adapter extends between the loading device and the torque converter and has passages for routing hydraulic fluid to and from the torque converter. Sensors connected to a computer monitor pressures, temperatures and fluid flow.
