Abstract: A method is provided for securing a shell assembly to a pipeline. A two part shell assembly (2, 3) is secured to pipeline (6) and holds in position an annular sealing arrangement (16, 17) located about a predetermined area of the outer surface of the pipeline. The sealing arrangement includes a containment ring (16) surrounding an annular seal (17). The containment ring is provided with connected through passages (16e) so that sealant can be introduced via a hole in the assembly into the passages to provide sealing between the ring and the pipeline, and between the ring and the assembly. Thus, should the annular seal (17) fail during service the introduced sealant provides a seal.

Abstract: In one of its aspects, the present invention relates to an attachment device which comprises a series of attachment portions. The attachment portions are interconnected to one another by at least one connecting portion, preferably a flexible connecting portion. The attachment device is flexible in at least two independent planes. In most cases, the present attachment device will be flexible in more than two independent planes. A preferred manner by which such flexibility is conferred to the attachment device is by the provision of a trim cover attachment portion having a female attachment portion attached to a base portion. The base portion has a larger surface area than the surface area of the female attachment portion adjacent or attached thereto. The lateral dimension of the base portion is greater than the lateral dimension of the at least one connecting portion. A process of producing a resilient device (e.g., a foam element for use in a vehicular seat) is also described as is a mold for carrying out such a process. The present attachment device is particularly well suited for attaching a trim cover to a resilient (e.g., foam) body to produce a vehicular seat or a component of a vehicular seat. Other applications of the present attachment device are also contemplated.

Abstract: An assembly (10, 50) for retaining a work piece and fitting together for placement in a swage machine. The assembly (10, 50), includes a die (16, 54) and a collar (18, 56) to keep the work piece from moving during the swaging process. The collar (18, 56) includes two clamping sections (28, 30 and 70, 72) that are connected together, such as by a hinge (32, 74). The collar (18 , 56) is placed about the work piece and then clamped in place by a retaining bolt (34, 76) at the opposing end of the clamping section (28, 30 and 709, 72). The die (16, 54) includes a recess (22, 60) for holding the collar and a recess (24, 62) for the tube. The assembly (10, 50) includes an anti-rotatio n feature to minimize rotation feature to minimize rotation of the collar (18, 56) within the recess (22, 60). One example of an anti-rotation feature is t he formation of the recess (22, 60) and the collar (18, 56) in corresponding hexagonal shapes. The die (16, 54) may also include a recess (20, 58) for retaining a fitting to be swaged to the work piece. The die and collar assembly (10, 50) eliminates the need for nylon inserts and eliminates work piece rotation and axial movement during the automated swaging process.</SDO AB>

Filed: 2002-04-26
Granted: 2016-08-09
Abstract: An assembly and process for identifying and tracking assets including tubulars (2), equipment, tools and/or devices. An antenna (24) is electrically connected to a responding device (20), such as a radio frequency identification device, and this assembly is connected to an asset. The antenna may be positioned about the exterior and/or the interior of the asset and significantly increases the range of signals that may be received and/or broadcast by the responding device. A transceiver may accordingly be positioned a greater distance from the asset without regard to the orientation of the asset and still permit communication between the transceiver and the responding device. In this manner, information that specifically identifies the asset may be compiled in a data base so as to maintain an accurate history of the usage of such assets as tubulars, equipment, tool and/or devices.

Title: Random multi-stage automatic case sealer
Inventor: VINH LE TUAN
IPC: B31B1/00
Filed: 2004-05-14
Granted: 2005-11-15
Abstract: A case sealer has a frame with a low friction conveyor upon which boxes are moved in series through three stages, each having an independent pair of spaced-apart, lateral conveyors that are linked together for inward and outward movement to accommodate the width of the box to be sealed. A first measuring stage measures the height, width and length of the box. A second flap folding stage has a floating head located over its lateral conveyors and is responsive to the height and width of the box and folds the box end and side flaps into a closed position. When a box enters the flap folding stage, the lateral conveyors in the measuring stage open to accept the next box, and based on the speed of the lateral conveyors and the measured length of the previous box, a gate allows the next box to enter the measuring stage as soon as the previous box has cleared the measuring stage.

Granted: 2005-10-18
Abstract: A rock bolt anchor having chemical and mechanical anchoring means includes a top portion permanently fixed to a bottom portion. The top portion carries a package of resin. A spring loaded mechanism pressurizes the package and squeezes the resin out when the package is lanced. The bottom portion main body carries a pair of opposed outer shells in a dove tail joint on opposed tapers. The annulus adjacent to the rock bolt anchor is sealed by top and bottom bulkheads. The bottom portion is threaded onto a rock bolt. A hollow and ported lance is threaded onto the exposed end of the rock bolt. The combination is inserted into a drilled hole and the rock bolt rotated. The lance rises and pierces the package releasing into the sealed annulus.  Continued rotation of the rock bolt, forces the main body down and the outer shells up the tapers compressing them against the wall of the drilled hole.
