Abstract:
Rohrschneider, enthaltend einen Rotationskörper (4) in einem Gehäuse (2) zur Rotation eines Schneidelementes (48) um ein abzuschneidendes Rohr (30) herum. Ferner enthaltend ein Positionierzahnrad (36), welches am Rotationskörper (4) drehbar angeordnet ist, wobei seine Drehachse (40) rechtwinklig zur Rotationskörperdrehachse (6) und diese kreuzend angeordnet ist, wobei das Positionierzahnrad (36) bei jeder vollen Umdrehung des Rotationskörpers (4) automatisch um einen Schritt weitergedreht wird, und wobei durch diese Bewegungsschritte der Abstand zwischen dem Schneidelement (48) und der mindestens einen Gegenrolle (52) automatisch veränderbar ist. Außerdem kann eine Entkupplungsvorrichtung (54, 64, 68, 72, 74, 76) vorgesehen sein, durch welche eine Positionierantriebsverbindung (44) des Positionierzahnrades (36) auskuppelbar ist, sodass im ausgekuppelten Zustand das Schneidelement (48) relativ zu der mindestens einen Gegenrolle (52), manuell verstellbar ist.
Abstract:
A powered hand held device (10) having an improved power (12) supply with both a low power source in parallel with a high power source from ultracapacitors (14). The ultracapacitor (14) power is used by the device motor (18) during certain peak power demands which require high power to the device motor. An improved hand held tube cutter tool (10) is provided both with and without the improved power arrangement (12), and includes a rotating cutter head assembly (24) with an adjustable roller assembly (34) providing a superior tube cut.
Abstract:
A portable, hand-held, motor-driven tube cutter (126) includes a disc-shaped gear (12A) driven by motor (16). A housing (10) has a roller support (6) and a blade support (12) movably mounted with respect to each other within the housing (10). Roller support (6) and blade support (12) engage grooves (30, 31) in a side of gear (12A). Brake elements (9, 11) are positioned in contacting relationship with housing (10), and supports (6, 12) move toward each from a starting position to cut a tube positioned within the cutter (126) as the motor (16) drives gear (12A) in a forward direction and as the brake elements (9, 11) restrict rotation of the housing (10). Supports (6, 12) move away from each other as the motor (16) drives gear (12A) in a reverse direction and as brake elements (9, 11) restrict rotation of housing (10) so that the tube cutter (126) is returned to its starting position and is ready for the next tube cutting.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for machining, especially cutting tubular or round section bodies (1), said apparatus comprising a gripping mechanism (2), which is adapted to be braced on said machinable body (1) rotatably around the same and which gripping mechanism (2) is provided with a machining unit (3) fitted with adjusting means (4) for moving said machining unit (3) relative to the gripping mechanism (2) towards or away from the machinable body (1), adn which gripping mechanism (2) includes a frame section (5) and first and second arms (6, 7) extending therefrom, the gripping mechanism (2) being adapted to brace against the machinable body (1) by means of bracing elements (14, 15, 16) mounted on the frame section (5) and the arms (6, 7). The arms (6, 7) are at one end articulated to the frame section (5) of the gripping mechanism (2) and the bracing elements (15, 16) included in the arms (6, 7) are mounted on the free ends of the arms. The frame section (5) of the gripping mechanism (2) is rotatably and axially immovably fitted with a threaded shaft (20), having at its first end a right hand thread with a first nut (21) and at its second end a left hand thread with a second nut (22), and said threaded shaft (20) being provided with an element (23) for rotating the threaded shaft (20). The first arm (6) and the first nut (21) are articulated to each other by means of a first bracket (24) and the second arm (7) and the second nut (22) are articulated to each other by means of a second bracket (25).
Abstract:
A device, in particular for opening vehicle shock absorders, has a cutting device and is characterised in that at least two cutting wheels (21, 23) are mounted in a cutting plane. At least one cutting wheel (21) is movable in the radial direction. The cutting device (26) is arranged in a pivot bearing which allows the cutting device (26) to pivot through up to 180 DEG around the centre of the tube (25) to be cut.
Abstract:
A torque multiplying wrench (10) having a jaw at one end and an adaptor (14) at the other end for receiving torque input. The wrench employs a rotatable shaft (38, 68) extending the length of the wrench with bevel gears (32, 36) at the proximate end to engage the input adaptor (14) and a bevel gear arrangement (54, 58, 62, 66) at the distal end to transfer torque from the shaft to the jeaw which is toothed. The bevel gear arrangement (54, 58, 62, 68) at the distal end of the wrench employs a pair of shafts (52, 56) engaged at one end to said rotatable shaft through bevel gears (54, 58). The shafts fan out to opposite sides of the jaw and employ worm gears (46, 48) to transmit the output torque to the jaw. The worm gears (46, 48) are especially designed to increase the number of teeth engaged with the jaw in order to reduce the load on individual teeth.
Abstract:
An automatic feed system for a tube cutter has a cam element (40) rotatably mounted in a cutting head (12) defining a cam surface eccentric with respect to the axis of rotation of the cam element. A cam follower (34) is formed on a cutting arm (28) which is pivotally attached to the cutting head and has a cutting wheel (32) attached thereto. The eccentric cam surface includes a substantially flat surface portion which lies in a plane extending substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the cam element which, when contacted by the cam follower, allows the pivot arm to assume an initial, retracted position. As the cam element rotates, the eccentric cam surface and the cam follower urge the cutting wheel into the tube wall. After the cam element has completed one rotation, the cam follower once again contacts the flat surface portion, thereby automatically retracting the cutting arm.
