20140144003 | LOCK NUT ASSEMBLY - A lock nut assembly | 05-29-2014 |
20140133932 | NUTLESS BOLT - A nutless bolt includes a body having a shaft and a stop coupled to the shaft. Shaft is dimensioned to allow passage through a hole formed in a structure into which the bolt is inserted. The stop prevents body from falling into or through the hole. An axial bore formed in body houses a locking mechanism extending radially from shaft to lock body and nutless bolt in the hole. An actuator pin movable along the bore in a generally down hole direction through various positions. Position L1 is a pre-application position; position L2 is a locking position; and position L3 is a release position. Pin is movable in the down hole direction from L2 where the pin causes the locking mechanism to extend radially from shaft to lock the body in the hole, to L3 where the pin is retained in the body and displaced relative to the locking mechanism. | 05-15-2014 |
20120088055 | WEAR PLATE - A wear plate system comprises whole hexagonal plates configured to tessellate with each other, part plates which are derived from respective whole plates, and second triangular plates. The plates are provided with holes to receive fasteners for securing the plates to a structure. The holes are located in the plates in a configuration such that when the plates are tessellated to form a substantially continuous lining, the holes form a repeating pattern. The second plates are configured to facilitate the formation of straight edges on the lining to match an edge of a structure to which the lining is attached. | 04-12-2012 |
20120043980 | WEAR SENSOR - A wear sensor comprises an electric circuit supported on a substrate. The circuit comprises a plurality of discrete elements which are coupled in parallel with each other across conductive rails. The circuit is electrically connected with a measuring device. The measuring device measures an electrical characteristic of the circuit such as resistance. The sensor is disposed in or adjacent an object which is subject to wear and wears with the object. As the sensor wears, the elements are sequentially decoupled from the circuit thereby changing the characteristic measured by the device. This change provides an indication of the amount of wear of the object. | 02-23-2012 |
20110037983 | Optical Component and Wear Sensor - A wear measuring device comprises a body having a wearable portion at the first end, a light conductive region internal to the body and the light conductive region has a reflective portion within the wearable portion. The reflective portion is configured to reflect light directed through the light conductive portion and at the reflective portion back down the light conductive portion. One or more characteristics of light reflected by the reflective portion are related to the extent of wear to the wearable portion. An optical component comprises a longitudinal axis and a plurality of reflective elements spaced along said longitudinal axis. The reflective elements are arranged to reflect light directed in a direction substantially aligned with said longitudinal axis. The magnitude of the reflectance is a function of physical degradation, ablation or wear of the component in a direction along the length of the component. | 02-17-2011 |
