US Patent:

46856870, Aug 11, 1987

Filed:

Sep 6, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/773322

Inventors:

William E. Hall - Solon OH
Edward D. Gailey - Mentor OH
George J. Ovanin - Euclid OH

Assignee:

The S-P Manufacturing Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

B23B 3112

US Classification:

279119

Abstract:

A workholder for a machine tool or the like having a power assembly and a work gripping assembly that are separable to permit use of a plurality of work gripping assemblies and associated work gripping jaws of a size and shape to accommodate different workpieces. Work gripping assemblies with jaws pre-qualified to different workpieces can be exchanged quickly and automatically, as by use of a robot, when different parts are to be machined, while a single power assembly remains connected to the machine tool.

International Classification:

F16L 3728

US Classification:

2511496

Abstract:

A coupling includes plug and socket assemblies which are interconnectable to connect conduits in fluid communication. A heat fusible actuator member is connected with a valve member disposed in the socket assembly. The actuator member extends axially outwardly from the valve member and has an outer end portion which is engageable with the plug assembly to move the valve member from a closed condition to an open condition as the plug and socket assemblies are interconnected. The actuator member is fusible upon exposure to excessive heat to release the valve member for movement from the open condition to the closed condition under the influence of a biasing spring. As the valve member moves from the open condition to the closed condition, the size of the actuator member is reduced as it is compressed into a unitary body under the influence of the force applied against the valve member by the biasing spring. In one embodiment of the invention, when the actuator member is exposed to excessive heat, it is axially compressed. In another embodiment of the invention, when the actuator member is exposed to excessive heat, it is radially compressed.
