US Patent:

53337239, Aug 2, 1994

Filed:

Jun 28, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/082483

Inventors:

Dennis E. Rich - West Jordan UT

International Classification:

B65G 1544

US Classification:

1984841

Abstract:

Paddle apparatus for an accumulator for receiving and transporting printed circuit panels including a plurality of tip elements and caps are distributed on the tip elements. The caps act as cushion elements to prevent inadvertent damage to the printed circuit panels and for providing sufficient friction to help maintain the circuit panels in place in the accumulator apparatus as the circuit panels are moved.

Filed:

Mar 17, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/845013

Inventors:

Dennis E. Rich - Riverton UT

International Classification:

B65G 2900

US Classification:

19880313

Abstract:

Accumulator apparatus includes an endless belt having a plurality of spaced apart paddles extending outwardly from the belt, and the spaces between the paddles receive printed circuit boards for transporting the circuit boards. The paddles include slots for receiving the belt, and the paddles are spaced apart in accordance with the distance between the grooves in the belt. The grooves in the belt serve a dual purpose, and the dual purpose includes the spacing apart of the paddles and the meshing with gears for moving the belt.

Appl. No.:

5/864562

Inventors:

Dennis E. Rich - Riverton UT
Conrad J. Steigerwald - Phoenix AZ

Assignee:

Honeywell Information Systems Inc. - Phoenix AZ

International Classification:

B26F 102
B21D 4502

US Classification:

83100

Abstract:

Apparatus for cutting and removing layers of photoresist overlaying tooling holes in a printed wire board blank. A lower cutter is mounted on a base so that its cutting edge projects above the upper surface of the base a distance substantially equal to the thickness of a layer of photoresist. A cutter head is mounted on the base for movement parallel to the upper surface of the base. An upper cutter is mounted on the cutter head for movement by a cutter actuator to cause the upper and lower cutters to sever segments of layers of photoresist overlaying a tooling hole of a PWB blank positioned between them. Each cutter is provided with a plunger movable within their respective cutters. The upper surface of the lower plunger, when the lower plunger is retracted, projects above the lower cutting edge of the lower cutter; and the upper plunger is biased downwardly so that its bottom surface projects below the cutting edges of the upper cutter. As a result the plungers stress the photoresist layers overlaying a tooling hole prior to the upper and lower cutters engaging them.

Filed:

Dec 20, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/169019

Inventors:

Dennis E. Rich - West Jordan UT

Assignee:

Amtech, Inc. - West Jordan UT

International Classification:

A47G 1908

US Classification:

211 4117

Abstract:

Circuit panel rack apparatus includes a hanging rack having a slot with a sloping surface. A roller is movable along the sloping surface. The roller moves downwardly along the sloping surface to hold a circuit panel in the rack, and the roller moves upwardly along the sloping surface to release the panel. The upward movement of the roller along the sloping surface is caused by the upward movement of a stem secured to the roller. The roller is biased downwardly along the sloping surface and against the circuit panel by a compression spring disposed about the stem.

Filed:

Appl. No.:

5/949192

Inventors:

Dennis E. Rich - Riverton UT

Assignee:

National Semiconductor Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

B32B 3100

US Classification:

156261

Abstract:

In the disclosed method, a punch having a hollow open end is used to cut a portion of polarized film from a continuous sheet of polarized film. Subsequently, this portion of film is held by its perimeter while a piston that fits inside the punch and has a flexible convex shaped tip pushes the center of the portion of the held film against a liquid crystal display cell. Then the force exerted by the piston is increased. This forces the portion of film against the display cell with a rolling motion away from its center. The rolling motion eliminates the trapping of air bubbles between the portion of film and the display cell. By further increasing the force of the piston against the display cell, the flexible tip of the piston deforms in a lateral direction. Thus it completely covers the display cell, even though its undeformed cross-sectional area is less than that of the display cell.
