20090026177Device and Method For Controlling Welding Angle - An object of the invention is to provide a device and a method for controlling a welding angle which is capable of resolving restrictions occurred when a conventional float type welding angle control device is used to manufacture a welded pipe, and giving full play to the ability of such a float type welding angle control device, by adopting a new mechanism for supporting and adjusting a fin roll. When the welding angle is controlled by inserting the fin roll between opposing edges of a band steel at a position located in an upstream side of squeeze rolls, the fin roll is attached to a link mechanism in which two arms are coupled so as to be pivotable within a plane defined by a pipe manufacturing line direction and a perpendicular direction thereof, and positions of gripping points of the arms are changed to adjust a position of the fin roll within the plane. Not only the mechanism of the device is simplified and an installation space can be reduced, but also the usage environment of the device and burdens for the maintenance work are considerably improved.01-29-2009

20090143177TIMING CHAIN DRIVE UNIT - In an engine timing chain drive, a pivoted chain guide is provided on the tension side of the chain, and a synchronizing sprocket is incorporated into the chain guide and driven by the chain. The synchronizing sprocket rotates a cam which effects reciprocating movement of the guide to compensate for cyclic variations in tension resulting from operation of intake and exhaust valves.06-04-2009
20090170648TIMING CHAIN DRIVE UNIT - In a timing chain drive unit the tooth pitch of a driven sprocket from which a tension span of the chain travels toward a driving sprocket varies cyclically around the circumference of the driven sprocket and cyclically increases and decreases the length of the tension span in synchronism with load variations imparted to the driven sprocket by a valve-operating camshaft.07-02-2009
20100137085TIMING CHAIN DRIVE SYSTEM - In a timing chain driving system in which the speed of a driving sprocket fluctuates cyclically, the tooth pitch of a driven sprocket from which a tension span of the chain travels toward the driving sprocket varies cyclically around the circumference of the driven sprocket so that the tooth pitch at the point at which the timing chain disengages from the driven sprocket is at a minimum when the rotational speed of the driving sprocket is maximum, moderating fluctuations in chain tension. A similar effect can be achieved in the case of a driving sprocket having a cyclically varying tooth pitch by arranging the driving sprocket so that its tooth pitch is maximum at the point at which it is engaged by the chain when its rotational speed is maximum.06-03-2010
