IPC: F16C33/12
Filed: 2009-06-03
Granted: 2010-07-01
Abstract: The process comprises subjecting a mechanical component to a primary finishing step to reduce its roughness on a surface at a value less than or equal to a predetermined first threshold, subjecting the component (P) to a surface cleaning using a degreasing solution, subjecting the cleaned component to a tribofinishing step organized for reducing its surface roughness (Ra) to a value less than or equal to a second predetermined threshold and increasing its wettability to hydraulic fluids, and subjecting the component to a projection of tungsten disulfide powder. The process comprises subjecting a mechanical component to a primary finishing step to reduce its roughness on the surface at a value less than or equal to a predetermined first threshold, subjecting the component (P) to a surface cleaning using a degreasing solution, subjecting the cleaned component to a tribofinishing step organized for reducing its surface roughness (Ra) to a value less than or equal to a second predetermined threshold, which is lower than the first predetermined threshold, and increasing its wettability to hydraulic fluids, and subjecting the component to a projection, at high speed and at an ambient temperature, of tungsten disulfide powder (WS 2) in the form of platelets (p), which is broken thus creating a dense and self-lubricating deposit in surface of the component. The tribofinishing step comprises chamfering (C1) by continuous stirring of component to be treated with a fist oxidizing aqueous solution containing abrasive agents for obtaining surface roughness, and polishing (C2) by continuous stirring of components with a second non-oxidizing aqueous solution containing abrasive agents followed by surface cleaning (C3), then checking the surface roughness. The first predetermined threshold of the roughness is 0.2 mu m and the second predetermined threshold of the roughness is 0.1 mu m. The powder is composed of pure WS 2and is in the form of hexagonal shape whose main dimension is 0.8-1.5 mu m and thickness is 0.1 mu m. The process comprises microblasting step to activate the surface of the component to increase the adhesion of the coating deposited in the projection step, and after the projection of WS 2powder, a step of surface cleaning, then checking both the surface roughness, wettability and coefficient of friction. The microblasting step is: organized such that the surface roughness, which is increased due to the microblasting, remains less than the first predetermined threshold of roughness; implemented with the particles that are not of oxides, and of which the size is 5-15 mu m. An independent claim is included for a hydraulic sealing system.

Title: Manual wheel chocks
Inventor: BROOKS ANDREW
IPC: B60T3/00
Filed: 2009-02-04
Granted: 2013-06-20
Abstract: An example wheel restraint includes a wheel chock that is manually movable between a retracted or release position clear of a wheel of a vehicle at a loading dock and an operative position to block the path of the wheel. In the release position, the chock can be manually moved freely along a track that is mounted to a driveway of the dock. When the chock is manually moved from its release position to its operative position, a locking feature automatically restricts the movement of the chock relative to the track. When the chock is manually moved back to its release position, the locking feature automatically disengages. Although the wheel chock is connected to a track, much of the force exerted by the wheel against the chock can be transmitted directly from the chock to the driveway.
