US Patent:

61233994, Sep 26, 2000

Filed:

Apr 2, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/053755

Inventors:

Craig L. Snyder - Glen Gardner NJ

Assignee:

Blaw-Knox Construction Equipment Corp. - Matton IL

International Classification:

B62D 55088

US Classification:

305107

Abstract:

A mobile construction vehicle has a pair of parallel first and second track assemblies. Each track assembly has a continuous drive belt with a plurality of teeth thereon, driven by a drive wheel with a plurality of lugs thereon. The drive belt teeth and drive wheel lugs have substantially identical matching profiles, to provide drive belt retention for preventing the teeth from disengaging from the drive wheel lugs, during a turning maneuver of the vehicle.

International Classification:

B62D 5500

US Classification:

305199

Abstract:

A paving machine is driven by track assemblies utilizing continuous rubber belts driven by drive wheels. Each drive wheel is driven by a planetary gear assembly. Each drive wheel is formed from a pair of annular ring members rigidly connected together and spaced apart to provide a passage for directing debris falling from a rotating drive wheel away from the planetary gear, to minimize damage to the planetary gear assembly.

Frank J. Tufano - Wilmington NC
James T. Shandersky - Milan PA

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Rand Company - Woodcliff Lake NJ

International Classification:

B23K 2600

US Classification:

21912185

Abstract:

A a method for laser heating a surface formed by a circular bore extending in a workpiece along a longitudinal bore axis includes providing a holder for holding a workpiece; directing a laser beam into the workpiece bore; and providing a mirror in the workpiece bore for directing the laser beam against a portion of the surface to be heated. The workpiece is cooled adjacent the portion of the surface to be heated by the workpiece holder. The workpiece and mirror are moved relative to each other longitudinally back and forth along the workpiece bore axis and rotatably about the workpiece bore axis, to produce a preselected pattern of heated area on the workpiece bore surface.

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Rand Company - Woodcliff Lake NJ

International Classification:

B23K 2600

US Classification:

21912165

Abstract:

A device for laser heating the surface of a small diameter bore in a workpiece includes a workpiece holder, optics for focusing a laser beam and introducing the laser beam into a bore and directing the beam against the bore surface. The workpiece holder and workpiece are movable longitudinally and rotationally with respect to the optics in the bore, to permit the laser beam to move along the bore. A first fluid cooling circuit cools the workpiece holder and workpiece, a second fluid cooling circuit cools the optics in the bore. Shielding gas is introduced into the bore to shield the bore surface being heated.

Assignee:

Blaw-Knox Construction Equip. Corp. - Mattoon IL

International Classification:

B62D 5500

US Classification:

180 91

Abstract:

A paving machine that is driven by track assemblies utilizing continuous rubber belts uses a motor and planetary gear reduction combination on each drive wheel to drive each belt. Each planetary gear includes a planetary joint connection between a rotating and a non-rotating portion, with an elastomeric seal therein to retain lubricating fluid in the planetary housing. Each drive wheel is formed from a pair of annular ring members rigidly connected together and spaced apart to provide a passage for directing debris falling from a rotating drive wheel away from the planetary joint, to minimize damage to the seal.

International Classification:

B29D 2200

US Classification:

428 369

Abstract:

A workpiece has a surface formed by a circular bore extending in the workpiece body along a bore axis. The bore surface includes a heat-affected zone pattern thereon, produced with a laser light beam. The heat-affected zone pattern can be a variety of patterns including a single helix, overlapping helixes a single annular ring and a plurality of annular rings. The heat-affected zones can have a variety of widths, as measured in relation to the longitudinal bore axis.
