| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7677523 | Gravity compensation device for a chip transfer apparatus A gravity compensation device partially or completely compensates a force exerted by a basic mass (10) on a balancing device (12) at a first distance from an axis of rotation (13) by using a force generating device, such as spring (14), e... | 03/16/2010 |
| 7428855 | Counter balance system and method with one or more mechanical arms A system for counterbalancing the gravitation moment on a link when the link is supported at a point. A first spring mechanism balances the link about all axes that pass through the support point. The link can be balanced throughout a large range of motion. ... | 09/30/2008 |
| 7195216 | Adjustable trunk for an artificial Christmas tree An adjustable trunk for an artificial Christmas tree has a base, a telescoping post and a reel assembly. The telescoping post has a stationary outer tube, at least two inner tubes and multiple gaps. The stationary outer tube is mounted on the base. The inner tubes a... | 03/27/2007 |
| 7000873 | Microscope stand having balancing device The invention relates to a stand having a pivotable support arm (2) and a balance weight (AG), in which the balance weight (AG) acts via a cable pull (24) for the weight compensation of the load (G), the balance weight (AG) being arranged in the area o... | 02/21/2006 |
| 6557816 | Motor mounting structure and drive shaft mounting structure A motor mounting structure having a motor and a mounting portion to which the motor is mounted. When an external force resulting from a load acting in a direction orthogonal to a motor shaft is applied to the shaft, a hardness or configuration of an elast... | 05/06/2003 |
| 5741792 | Heterocyclic thrombin inhibitors Heterocyclic thrombin inhibitors are provided which have the structure ##STR1## wherein n, R, R1, R2, R3, G, Gx, R6 ', Ra, Xa, R6, Rb, R3, p, Q, A and R4 are as define... | 04/21/1998 |
| 5037059 | X-ray diagnostic device with safe and durable X-ray tube suspension mechanism An X-ray diagnostic device with a suspension mechanism for suspending an object in a vertically movable manner, using two suspension wires, which can avoid the shortened durability of the suspension wires, and using windup type springs, which can eliminat... | 08/06/1991 |
| 4953256 | Counterbalance mechanism A counterbalance mechanism for negating the force of gravity when moving a display cabinet shelf up or down. The mechanism has a torsion spring counterbalance on a shaft extending the width of the shelf and gears at each end of the shaft which engage trav... | 09/04/1990 |
| 4813064 | Method and apparatus for counterbalancing rotating bodies A diagnostic imaging scanner system is provided which includes an arm structure mounted to a support structure for pivotal motion about a substantially horizontal arm axis. A source of radiation directs radiation along a beam path. A detector is mounted o... | 03/14/1989 |
| 4768762 | Means and method to counterbalance the weight of a body The weight of a pivoted body is counterbalanced by a spring acting on a cam connected to that body to pivot therewith. A band, connected to that spring, attaches to the cam and wraps around the cam. The cam's profile is contoured to produce moment arms of... | 09/06/1988 |
| 4760622 | Compound winding apparatus and counterbalance systems A compound counterbalance system for window sashes and the like, comprising: a biasing mechanism for easing operation of a window sash and the like, the biasing mechanism being movable at an inherently variable of force; a first biasing force transmission... | 08/02/1988 |
| 4685648 | Counterbalancing apparatus for use in an optical instrument An apparatus for counterbalancing the weight of the movable member in a precision instrument includes a resilient member which is coupled, by way of a non-elastic member, over an eccentric surface of a rotatable member to the movable member. Rotation of t... | 08/11/1987 |
| 4389228 | Constant tensioning device A tensioning device is disclosed for maintaining proper tension of a filter bag assembly. The device includes a rotationally mounted cam, a torsion spring urging the cam to rotate in one direction, and a cable trained around the cam opposing the force exe... | 06/21/1983 |
