摘要： A positioning apparatus includes a stage on which a piezoelectric element is set, a stop unit having a stop face to which the piezoelectric element set on the stage is pushed so that the piezoelectric element is positioned at a target position corresponding to an attaching part of, for example, a head suspension to which the piezoelectric element is attached, and a pushing unit to push the piezoelectric element toward the stop face, the pushing unit blowing a gas to push the piezoelectric element. The positioning apparatus is capable of correctly positioning the piezoelectric element to the target position without damaging the piezoelectric element.

摘要： A braking device and method is provided that is operative to selectively slow and/or stop a pneumatic carrier within a pneumatic carrier system. Generally, the device includes a pneumatic tube that is sized to permit the passage of pneumatic carriers. The pneumatic tube includes at least one braking element that may be disposed into the bore of the pneumatic tube to at least partially impede the passage of a pneumatic carrier through the bore. In one embodiment, the braking element is formed as a variable diameter section of the pneumatic tube that may be selectively constricted to change the diameter of the bore of the pneumatic tube. Such constriction may slow and/or stop the passage of a pneumatic carrier through the bore of the pneumatic tube.

摘要： A pneumatic transmission system having a carrier automatic braking system contains a transport conduit having a first end and a second end and being capable of permitting the transfer of a carrier therethrough, a first station for sending and receiving a carrier located on one end of the transmission conduit, and a second station for sending and receiving a carrier located on the other end of the transmission conduit. A motor blower, capable of moving a volume of air through a conduit, is enclosed within a supply/exhaust branch which is connected to one of the stations. A valve, capable of closing, to thereby create an air block in the supply line, is also disposed within the supply/exhaust branch. The motor blower blows air to move the carrier from one station to the other. The valve is activated, after deactivating the motor blower, when the carrier is detected at some predetermined location along the transport conduit. The valve closing creates an air block within the supply/exhaust branch which prohibits air from entering or exiting the conduit on the air block side of the carrier as the carrier moves along the transport conduit. The change in differential pressure across the carrier slows the carrier as it approaches its destination station.

摘要： An access chamber assembly for use in a pneumatic transport system with a sealing arrangement that provides an intended bearing clearance relative to an access door device which is rotated between an open, access state and a closed state. The bearing clearance allows for radial adjustment of the door while being rotated between states of being fully closed and fully open to avoid binding and seal friction noise. When a seal status is desired, as when the access door is closed and the access chamber is in a pressurized state (such as when a carrier is being braked to a stop state in the access chamber), the seal arrangement provides for a tight seal as the access door device is radially adjusted by the pressure to take up the clearance, at a diametrically opposed side, which movement also increases a seal enhancement effect provided by the seal components surface interrelationship as with door bar seals having a slight taper that provides an increased seal wedge effect as the access door is radially pushed out by the pressure against a second seal component such as a fixed lip seal of a carrier support pocket.

摘要： An apparatus and method for moving golf balls from a ball washer to a ball dispenser is disclosed. A system of conduits is employed, connecting a ball washer to a dispenser. Balls are forced out of the washer and into an entry conduit where a drain rids the system of fluids. Balls are slowed down by a restricted region in the entry conduit prior to entry into a main conduit. Upon entering the main conduit, balls are forced upward by high velocity air being expelled by a blower. Obstructions are minimized and relieved by an opening in the side of the main conduit. Balls are prevented from backing up into the blower, even in case of obstruction, by an angled pipe or nozzle with a diameter smaller than that of a golf ball. Balls travel through the main conduit and into an exit conduit where they strike a shock absorbing pad prior to dropping into the dispenser. In a second embodiment, an alternative exit conduit is provided whereby balls may be diverted to a receptacle other than the dispenser.

摘要： A pneumatic transmission system having a carrier automatic braking system contains a transport conduit having a first end and a second end and being capable of permitting the transfer of a carrier therethrough, a first station for sending and receiving a carrier located on one end of the transmission conduit and a second station for sending and receiving a carrier located on the other end of the transmission conduit. A pair of motor blowers, each capable of moving a volume of air in opposing directions through a conduit, are enclosed within a supply branch which is connected to one of the stations. The first motor blower blows air to move the carrier from one station to the other. The second motor blower is activated, to operate concurrently with the first motor blower, when the carrier is detected some predetermined location along the transport conduit. The opposing motors create an air block between the first and second motor blowers which prohibits air from entering or exiting the conduit on the air block side of the carrier as the carrier moves along the transport conduit. The change in differential pressure across the carrier slows the carrier as it approaches its destination station.
