Screw mechanism
InactiveUS6966735B1Strong tightening forceThe implementation process is simpleWashersNutsEngineeringMechanical engineering
In a screw locking assembly a pair of washers having inclined surfaces are interposed between a screw member on a tightening side and a member to be tightened, with the inclined surfaces being mutually contacted. These inclined surfaces circle around once in spiral form with a lead angle β smaller than a lead angle α of the screw, and both ends thereof are connected with a tier face in the axial direction. By conducting an initial-tightening in a state with an interval of a preset angle maintained between the tier faces, and tightening and rotating the screw member on the tightening side until the tier faces come into contact with each other, a tightening force proportional to that angle is generated, and the tightening force is controlled surely with precision.

A permanent magnetic male and female levitation support has a first part with a cavity and a plurality of retainment mechanisms incorporated therein, and a plurality of first permanent magnets evenly distributed around the perimeter of the cavity and held in place by the retainment mechanisms, wherein the first permanent magnets produce a first rotationally invariant magnetic field around a first axis. A second part is rigidly connected to a base and produces a second rotationally invariant magnetic field around a second axis. When the first axis is aligned with the second axis, the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field simultaneously produce a repulsive force and a restorative force to levitate the first part relative to the second part.

Driving tool
InactiveUS20080257933A1Increased durabilitySolve the small frictionStapling toolsNailing toolsFreewheelFlywheel
It is an object of the present invention to increase durability of a driving tool. A representative driving tool comprises an elongated operating member that drives in a driving material and a drive mechanism that drives the operating member. The drive mechanism comprises a rotating flywheel and the flywheel includes an inner wheel and an outer wheel which are concentrically disposed to each other. The inner circumferential surface of the outer wheel is fitted on an outer circumferential surface of the inner wheel. The outer circumferential surface of the outer wheel directly contacts the operating member and thus, the rotational force of the flywheel is transmitted from the inner wheel to the operating member via the outer wheel and the drive mechanism linearly moves. A frictional force between the outer circumferential surface of the inner wheel and the inner circumferential surface of the outer wheel is set to be smaller than a frictional force between the outer circumferential surface of the outer wheel and the operating member. With such construction, when the operating member contacts the rotating flywheel, slippage is caused between the inner wheel and the outer wheel such that only a smaller frictional force may be produced between the inner wheel and the outer wheel. Therefore, stress which acts upon the inner wheel and the outer wheel can be alleviated and as a result, wear of the flywheel and the operating member can be reduced to increase the durability.
