    摘要: An apparatus and methods for pushing conductors into conduit and other structures are disclosed. The apparatus (“pusher”) can include rollers to apply a pushing force to one or more conductors or bundles of conductors. One or more rollers can be coupled to a drive mechanism. The pusher is configured to pull conductors or bundles of conductors off of one or more spools, and push the conductors or bundles of conductors without de-bundling or sorting the conductors. The conductors can be fed through the pusher in any format including side-by-side, vertical on top of one another, twisted together, or other formats. The pusher can include a guiding device that is configured to route the conductors from the pusher to a conduit through which the conductors are being pushed or pulled.

    摘要: An extrusion-based production system (300), comprising: a filament roll with a thermoplastic filament (2); at least one assembly with: an entrance (3) for receiving the filament; an exit (4) for delivering the filament, a channel (5) between the entrance and exit; a first and second rotatable component (10, 20), respectively rotatable about a first/second axis (12, 22), and having first/second external ridges (11, 21), wherein, when a filament is introduced into the channel, and the at least one assembly is rotated with respect to the filament (2), the rotatable components rotate about their respective axis, and the axes move about the filament such that the components mainly roll over the filament, and the external ridges (11) penetrate at least partially into the filament (2). A method for feeding a thermoplastic filament.

    摘要: A filament feeding device (100) for use in 3D-printing comprising a first feeding wheel (110) configured to rotate with a first rotational shaft (112) and a second feeding wheel (120) configured to rotate with a second rotational shaft (122). The first and second feeding wheels (110, 120) are separated by a separation distance so as to allow feeding of a filament material received between said first and second filament wheels (110, 120). The filament feeding device further comprises an adjuster element (130) movable between a first distinct position (130a) setting said separation distance to a first predetermined distance, and into a second distinct position (130b) setting said separation distance to a second predetermined distance, and wherein said second predetermined separation distance is larger than said first predetermined separation distance. Further, a 3D-printer comprising such a filament feeding device is herein disclosed.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to medical equipment, more particularly, the use of fluid hoses coupling tanks to cannulas, as part of medical gas therapy, such as oxygen therapy. The invention describes a collection system for managing excess flexible hose that a patient might need to wear for medical reasons such as home oxygen medical therapy. It comprises a non-spooling roller system attached to a receptacle for collecting excess hose into the receptacle and extraction from the receptacle, and a power system to power and control the roller system, and design features that optimize the collection and extraction.

    摘要: A strip is fastened to an edge of a textile piece by first advancing strip of the ribbon in a direction parallel to the strip of ribbon from a supply. Then a leading end of the strip is gripped a first nip point while advancing additional ribbon from the ribbon supply. The strip is then gripped at a second nip point upstream of the first nip point at a trailing end of the strip. The ribbon is then severed upstream in the strip-travel direction of the second nip point to separate the strip from the ribbon into a sufficient length between the first nip point and the second nip points. The leading or trailing end is then pivoted about at least one pivot axis relative to the other end and positioned near or on the other end, which is then fastened to the edge of the textile piece.

    摘要: A filament feeder for use in an additive manufacturing system, comprising a main feeder body having mounted thereon a first biasing roller and a driven first gripper roller arranged at an adjustable first roller distance from each other allowing a filament material to be received between the first biasing roller and the first gripper roller. The filament feeder further comprises a second biasing roller and a driven second gripper roller arranged at an adjustable second roller distance from each other for receiving the filament material. A biasing assembly is provided in resilient engagement with the first and second biasing rollers and configured to bias the first and second biasing rollers toward the first and second gripper rollers, respectively, during an additive manufacturing process.

    摘要: A cable pushing device is an apparatus that efficiently pushes a cable into a pipe with minimal effort. The cable pushing device includes a frame, a first wheel assembly, a second wheel assembly, and a cable guide system. The frame upholds the first wheel assembly, the second wheel assembly, and the cable guide system. The first wheel assembly and the second wheel assembly press against the cable and push the cable into the pipe. The cable guide system positions both the cable and the pipe onto the frame and between the first wheel assembly and the second wheel assembly. The first wheel assembly and the second wheel assembly are aligned with each other such that as the second wheel assembly is rotated by a user, the first wheel assembly applies press onto the cable, opposite the second wheel assembly, and consequently pushes the cable into the pipe.

    摘要: A continuous well string injector features a frame carrying a pair of endless chain conveyors on opposite sides of a pathway. Each chain carries gripper dies for engaging the continuous well string when received in the pathway. A respective skate and cylinder block reside in the closed loop path of each chain. Each cylinder block features a plurality of blind bores having open ends facing toward the respective skate, and a respective piston is slidably disposed within each bore. Hydraulic extension and retraction ports open into the cylinder bores on opposite sides of the piston, whereby back and forth displacement of the pistons forces the skates toward and away from one another to grip and release the continuous well string. A front wall of the frame has an open horizontal gap aligned with the pathway to enable lateral entrance and exit of the continuous string to and from the pathway.
