Abstract: An assembly stage for assembling and machining or treating products has a plurality of work stations each with an individual operator position for manual assembly, each of which stations comprises a round table (15) which revolves before an operative at the operator position (25), and is controlled by the operative. In a plurality of revolutions a plurality of successive assembly operations can be carried out. The workpieces (40) are assembled on workpiece carriers (21) of which a large number is disposed and positioned on the round table. After completion of the assembly step at one work station, the workpiece carriers (21) are ejected from the round table and replaced by new workpiece carriers if required. A transport section (13) connects the work stations (12) and includes buffers or stores (28) which can be constructed as conveyor belts disposed one above another, thereby increasing the buffer storage capacity of the round table and of the transport section itself. The work stations (12) can be connected in any desired arrangement by the transport section (13) and storage containers (24) can be provided for the components to be assembled or for tools within easy reach of the operator position in the central region. <IMAGE>

Title: Cutter drums
Inventor: HANNAN NEIL TOWNSEND
IPC: B02C18/18
Filed: 1983-06-15
Abstract: The invention relates to cutter drums, e.g., for coke and the like breaking. Cutter drums are known formed from a solid shaft on which cast tooth bearing members are mounted, the members frequently being held on the shaft by concrete. The weight of such drums is high requiring a correspondingly high energy input to rotate it, and removing the drum from a machine is difficult as is removing the castings from the shaft. The object of the invention is to provide a cutter drum 1 that avoids these disadvantages, which objective is met by a construction comprising a cylindrical body 2, and cutter rings 7 secured to the cylindrical body in spaced relationship along the length thereof, each cutter ring being provided at its periphery with tooth- like formations 8. <IMAGE>
