20090044392 | Tool for joining sidelapped joints of deck panel - A punching tool for forming an attachment in a side-lapped seam of steel decking includes four cutting jaws each having a cutting edge. Two jaws are positioned against one side of the seam, and two jaws are positioned on the opposite side of the seam. An actuator selectively pivots the cutting edges of opposing jaws generally toward each other to a closed position, driving the cutting edges of a first pair of jaws partially past each other for cutting a first slot through the seam, and driving the cutting edges of a second pair of jaws partially past each other for cutting a second slot through the seam. Also disclosed are a method for forming such an attachment, as well as the attachment structure which results therefrom. | 02-19-2009 |
20090126176 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING METAL CLAD FACADE - An apparatus and method for a metal clad facade includes a thin metal cladding having at least one edge. The facade or the object with which it is associated has at least one edge around which the metal cladding edge can be wrapped. The wrapped edge could optionally be crimped. Optionally, exposed edges of the cladding could be covered by raised bosses or ribs on the façade. Optionally, a projection or extension of the cladding, oblique to other parts of the cladding, could extend into an opening in or near a surface of the facade or its underlying object. Wrapping of at least one edge with the metal cladding provides the appearance of a more substantial metal part than if the edge were not wrapped and provides for a more securement and durable attachment between the cladding and the underlying object. | 05-21-2009 |
20100212131 | CLINCHING TOOL - A clinching tool is provided. A further aspect of the present application locates an anvil and/or movable die members closer to one lateral outside surface of a die body than the opposite lateral outside surface. In another aspect, an offset clinch die and pneumatic tool are employed. Another aspect includes a die body having an anvil and two linearly movable die members which essentially surround a lateral outside surface of the anvil when in inward positions. | 08-26-2010 |
20120110809 | STENT CRIMPING DEVICE - A system for crimping a prosthesis is disclosed, comprising a plurality of wheels. Each wheel has an outer circumferential surface configured to be placed in contact with the prosthesis. When in contact with the prosthesis, each wheel is configured to be rotated, thereby to apply a radially inward force on the prosthesis so as to reduce the diameter of the prosthesis. More than one set of wheels may be provided, so that the prosthesis is crimped first by one set of wheels, then by a subsequent set of wheels. | 05-10-2012 |
20120167363 | Arrangement for Securing a Lining Material - An arrangement is provided for securing a lining material of a wall inner surface of a load-bearing construction, such as a container, apparatus, duct, housing, or column, which is acted upon by a gaseous or liquid medium. Multiple securing points are provided, and are arranged in a distributed manner and connected to the wall inner surface in order to secure the lining material. In order to reliably secure a lining material to a wall inner surface subject to great tractive forces, the fastening elements have at least one holding element which connects the wall inner surfaces to the lining material, and which can be fixed by a pressure element in a force- and/or form-fit manner. | 07-05-2012 |

20130192035 | CRIMPING TOOL - A tool for crimping a ring member on a pipe is provided. The tool includes a first arm having a plurality of slots on a first side and a second slot on a second side. Each slot of the plurality of slots is a different size diameter, and the at least one second slot has a different size. The tool further includes a second arm operably coupled to rotate. The second arm having a plurality of slots on a third side and at least one fourth slot on a fourth side. Each of the plurality of slots are sized and positioned to cooperate with each other when in the first position to crimp the ring member. The at least one fourth slot is sized and positioned to cooperate with the at least one second slot when in the second position to crimp the ring member. | 08-01-2013 |
20140165353 | CRIMPING TOOL - The tool is provided comprising a first and second arm. The first arm having a first and second die slot on a side and a third die slot on an opposing side. The first arm further having a first gage slot on the side adjacent the second die slot and a second gage slot on the opposing side. The second arm being operably coupled to rotate relative to the first arm. The second arm having a fourth and a fifth die slot on a side arranged opposite the first die slot and the second die slot when the second arm is in a first position, the second arm also having a sixth die slot on an opposing side from the first die, the second arm further having a third gage slot on the side adjacent the fifth die slot and a fourth gage slot on the opposing side. | 06-19-2014 |
20160016221 | MATRIX FOR MAKING CLINCH-TYPE JOINTS BETWEEN SHEET-FORMED MEMBERS AND AN APPARATUS INCLUDING SUCH A MATRIX - A matrix for making clinch-type joints between at least two members of sheet-formed material of the same or different types. Said matrix ( | 01-21-2016 |

20160160526 | FENCING ASSEMBLY APPARATUS - An elongated support frame carrying a jig at a first section of the support frame. The jig receives a plurality of picket and rail fencing members in a pre-defined arrangement for assembly. A plurality of swedge guns are mounted to a gun platform. The gun platform is carried at a second section of the support frame so that distal ends of the swedge guns are aligned with a receiving section of the jig. At least one of the jig and the gun platform is slidable along the support frame so that the swedge guns are received into hollow interiors of the picket fencing members and repositionable along the length of the picket fencing members. The swedge guns are operable to form an indentation on an interior surface of the picket fencing members causing an interlocking engagement with one of the rail fencing members. | 06-09-2016 |
