The device includes a stop that forms an abutment at the interface between the first cavity and one of the second cavities, a ring having a deformable corrugated shape, an initial inside diameter, an initial outside diameter smaller than the second diameter, and being positioned in the first cavity, a deformation element having an elastically variable outside diameter initially smaller than the initial inside diameter of the ring, and a tool being able to increase the outside diameter of the deformation element so that it deforms the ring in the first cavity in order to reduce the difference between the first and second diameters. | 08-21-2014 |
20150047169 | TOOL AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING A HINGE - Tools for grasping and aligning a number of knuckles of a hinge are presented, the tool including: a tube having a bore and a slotted opening in a side of the tube connecting with the bore and parallel thereto, where the bore extends from one end of she tube to another end of the tube, and where the bore includes a diameter sufficient to permit telescoping the tube onto the number of knuckles; a stop located along one end of the tube and perpendicular thereto; sad a pair of flattened surfaces formed along an outside surface of the tube and opposite one another, where the pair of flattened surfaces are configured to receive a leveraging tool, in some embodiments, the flattened surfaces include: a raised flattened surface and an indented flattened surface. | 02-19-2015 |
20150068008 | AUTOMATED TUBE STRAIGHTENING APPARATUS - A shaft straightening or tube straightening apparatus performs accurate measurements of the linear profile of a metal tube, and then corrects small and large deviations of the tube profile from the ideal centerline along the length of the tube. The tube straightening apparatus is operable to accurately measure a linear profile of the tube positioned in the apparatus. The tube is rotated in the apparatus to locate a pair of low points in the tube profile and a high point of the tube between the two low points. The tube is supported in the apparatus at the pair of low points and the high point of the tube is then deflected beyond the yield point of the metal of the tube to permanently distort the tube and correct the tube's profile. | 03-12-2015 |
