| 7150212 | Torque screwdriver A torque screwdriver including a handle formed with a window. An indicator is disposed in the handle near the window. A scale is axially movably mounted in the handle. The scale is drivingly connected with a compression mechanism disposed at one end of the handle an... | 12/19/2006 |
| 6997446 | Spring member for rotational action The rotational spring includes a base member which is in the form of a ring and includes elements for fixedly attaching it to a body of an appliance, such as a power toothbrush, which includes a drive element such as a drive shaft portion of a motor. Also included i... | 02/14/2006 |
| 6318923 | Stable bi-axial pivot flexure coupling A coupling comprises blade flexures that connect two end members through which control rods extend to cross members that are attached near the mid-points of the blade flexures, providing stable-linear load reaction means for use as end pivots for linkages... | 11/20/2001 |
| 6203238 | Shaft coupling with axial alignment A shaft coupling for connecting two shaft ends to transmit torque. Each shaft end has a recess or a projection. A projection on one shaft end projects into the recess in the other shaft end and their cooperating side walls transmit torque. A centering dev... | 03/20/2001 |
| 6098726 | Torque transmitting device for rotary drill bits A torque transmitting device for use with a rotary drill bit connected to a drill collar, comprises a first member connected to the drill collar, a second member connected to the drill bit, and coupling means connecting the two members together for rotati... | 08/08/2000 |
| 5041060 | Flexible coupling A one piece, mechanical, flexible coupling for interconnecting driving and driven shafts, which is capable of accommodating separate or combined angular, skewed or parallel shaft misalignments and axial shaft movements while permitting limited torsional o... | 08/20/1991 |
| 4467173 | Welding head for narrow gap welding A welding head for narrow gap welding is provided with a flat contact nozzle which is pivotable laterally with respect to the longitudinal extent of the gap by being journaled in a similarly flat nozzle holder by means of a shaft which is substantially pa... | 08/21/1984 |
| 4432739 | Spring steel liquid-damped shaft coupling A spring steel, liquid-damped shaft coupling in which the torque is transmitted between an inner part and an outer part coaxial therewith by means of radial spring elements disposed in discrete liquid-filled chambers, the liquid in any chamber being displ... | 02/21/1984 |
