20090134261 | DEVICE FOR GUIDING AND TENSIONING SUPPLY LINES - In a device for guiding and tensioning supply lines for working tools movable along a straight guide, e.g. supply lines of a hydraulic hammer drill on an advance mounting, the advance of the working tool is implemented by means of a revolving transport chain driven by a sprocket wheel, and the supply line(s) are guided between the connections on the fixed guide and the connections on the working tool by a tension roller which causes a deflection about 180° and is movable in advance direction downstream the working tool conjointly therewith in the same direction but at half the advance speed, wherein the tension roller is slidably guided on the guide for the working tool transversely to its rotation axis, and wherein a pinion engages the transport chain for driving the movement of the tension roller and interacts with a fixed chain on the opposite side. To realize a controlled movement of the tension roller in both direction, a further transport wheel ( | 05-28-2009 |
20090302144 | Strap winder - The present invention is a portable strap roll up device. The strap roller can be moved to any location on a semi-trailer or flat bed truck and mounted quickly and easily to roll up a load securing strap. Once the strap is rolled up, it can be easily slid off the roll up tool and placed in storage. With this roll up tool one can easily and quickly roll up straps for storage in a neat manner, ready for their next use. The present invention avoids the need for fixed roll up tools for each strap and at the same time the tiresome burden of hand rolling the straps. | 12-10-2009 |
20110121122 | ENGAGING MEMBER SUPPORTING STRUCTURE AND WEBBING TAKE-UP DEVICE - An engaging member supporting structure having a rotating body being connected to a spool, transmitting rotation to the spool and having rotation from the spool transmitted thereto; a support body provided coaxially with the rotating body; an engaging member provided at the support body and rotating in one direction to engage with the rotating body; a shaft potion formed at one of the support body or the engaging member; and a bearing portion formed at the other of the support body or the engaging member in such a manner that the shaft portion is inserted therein, whereby the engaging member is rotatably provided at the support body, wherein, in a state in which the engaging member engages with the rotating body, a clearance is formed between an outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion and a portion of an inner peripheral surface of the bearing portion. | 05-26-2011 |
20130168482 | Innovative Ratcheting System - An innovative and advantageous ratcheting system having a housing, a corresponding ratcheting member, and a primary ratcheting member. Wherein the members provide dependent interlocking behavior between the corresponding ratcheting member and the primary ratcheting member whereby the dependent interlocking behavior takes place on the adjoining surfaces orthogonal to the axis in which the ratcheting mechanism is rotatably mounted. Such interlocking behavior is dependent upon the direction of relative torque between the corresponding ratcheting member and the primary ratcheting member thereby allowing relative rotary motion in the first predetermined direction while preventing relative rotary motion in the second predetermined rotary direction. Further, the interlocking behavior between the corresponding ratcheting member and primary ratcheting member can be disabled whereby relative rotary motion between the ratcheting members can be achieved in the second predetermined rotary direction. | 07-04-2013 |
20130256444 | SEATBELT RETRACTOR - A winding drum with a webbing wound thereon has one axial end rotatably supported by one sidewall section of a housing, and a shaft section raised from the other axial end is rotatably supported through a cover member mounted on the outer end of the other sidewall section of the housing. The housing has an opening formed in the other sidewall section through which a ratchet gear is inserted with gap therebetween, the ratchet gear being formed on the outer peripheral edge of the winding drum at the other axial end side thereof; and inner teeth formed on the inner peripheral edge of the opening. When pretensioner mechanism is activated and tensile force greater than predetermined level acts on the webbing, the cover member is plastically deformed through the shaft section and locks the ratchet gear into engaged state wherein the ratchet gear is engaged with the inner teeth. | 10-03-2013 |
20140008480 | LARGE HEAVY DUTY RATCHET - The frame of a large heavy duty ratchet supports a spool about an axis of rotation. A handle, pivotable about the axis of rotation, includes protrusions engageable with toothed wheels on opposed sides of the spool to urge incremental rotation of the spool upon repetitive pivotal movement of the handle. A pair of spring-loaded pawls engage the toothed wheels to limit the direction of rotation of the toothed wheels. A cam, formed as part of the handle, disengages the pair of pawls from the toothed wheels upon pivotal movement of the handle to a certain extent to permit rotation of the spool in either direction. | 01-09-2014 |

20140084100 | TORSION SPRING FOR CONTROL UNIT OF CURTAINS - A control unit for curtains includes a frame connected with a shaft and a torsion spring is mounted to the shaft. Two extension sections extend from two ends of the torsion spring at an angle. At least one of the two extension sections of the torsion spring has a contact section extending therefrom at an angle. The contact section contacts the end of the protrusion of the socket in a form of face-to-face. By the contact section of the torsion spring, the extension section and the contact section of the torsion spring does not shift to the underside of the protrusion. | 03-27-2014 |

20150336538 | RETRACTOR PRETENSIONER ASSEMBLY - A pretensioner assembly for motor vehicle belt restraint systems is provided. The pretensioner assembly includes a tube in fluid communication with a gas generator and a polymer rod disposed therein that travels in a first direction in response to actuation of the gas generator. The polymer rod is plastically deformable and engages a sprocket to rotate the sprocket in response to the travel of the rod, where rotation of the sprocket causes pretensioning. The rod has a non-constant cross-section along its length. The rod becomes locked after actuation to prevent travel in an opposite direction. The system further includes a seal member and slug member disposed between the rod and the gas generator, where the seal member is relatively flexible and the slug member is relatively hard. | 11-26-2015 |
20150336539 | RETRACTOR PRETENSIONER ASSEMBLY - A pretensioner assembly for motor vehicle belt restraint systems is provided. The pretensioner assembly includes a tube in fluid communication with a gas generator and a driving element disposed therein that travels in a first direction in response to actuation of the gas generator. The tube includes a constriction disposed adjacent an exit of the tube. The constriction allows the driving element to pass but prevents a seal member disposed between the generator and the driving element from passing. The constriction provides backpressure on the seal member causing the seal member to expand radially outward. The system can also include a slug member disposed between the seal member and the driving element. | 11-26-2015 |
