Filed: 2001-01-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-socket wrench (1) comprising a tubular body (10) having a set of nesting individual sockets (15-18) at each end of the body (10). The body (10) has end portions (11) within which each set of sockets (15-18) is mounted with a hollow central portion (12) between the end portions. Each adjacent pair of nesting sockets (15-18) in a set of sockets comprises an inner socket and an outer socket, the inner socket being movable axially inwardly relative to the outer socket into the central portion (12) of the body (10) to expose said outer socket for use. Locking means (20-32) is provided for selectively locking each individual socket (15-18) on the body (10) so it can be held fast ready for use. To use a selected socket (15-18), it is locked on the body (10) whilst any other sockets in the set nested within said selected socket are free to move inwardly to allow the selected socket to receive the head of a nut or bolt with which it is to be engaged. A  wide range of socket sizes can be accomodate on themulti-socket wrench (1).

Title: Parallel cylinder lift structure for an implement
Inventor: MYERS BRIAN E
IPC: A01B63/22
Filed: 2003-10-27
Abstract: Double acting cylinders on wheel lift structures of an agricultural implement are connected in parallel and include pilot operated check valve structure connected to the base ends of the cylinders to maintain timing of the lift wheel structure even under large differential loads without a rockshaft or other mechanical timing device extending between the wheel structures. The check valve structure prevents unwanted cylinder retraction and provides cylinder lock-up for transport without need for additional valves. When pressure is applied to the rod ends of the cylinders, the check valve structure allows fluid to flow from base ends. Orifices are inserted at the base ends of the cylinders 86 to provide optimum breakoff pressure for the check valves.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à une composition de brasure et à un procédé de formation associé. La composition de brasure comprend un alliage sensiblement sans plomb contenant de l'étain (Sn), de l'argent (Ag) et du cuivre. La concentration d'étain dans l'alliage, en pourcentage en poids, s'élève à au moins 90 % environ. La concentration d'argent dans l'alliage, en pourcentage en poids, est de X. X est suffisamment petit pour que soit sensiblement éliminée la formation de plaques de Ag¿3?Sn lorsque l'alliage à l'état liquéfié est solidifié par un refroidissement à une température inférieure, à laquelle s'effectue la germination de la phase Sn solide. Cette température inférieure correspond à une surfusion .delta.T liée la température de fusion eutectique de l'alliage. Dans une autre variante, X peut représenter environ 4 % ou moins, l'alliage liquéfié étant refroidi à une vitesse de refroidissement suffisamment élevée pour que soit sensiblement éliminée la formation de plaques de Ag¿3?Sn dans l'alliage. Le cuivre a un pourcentage en poids, dans l'alliage, ne dépassant pas 1,5 % environ.
