US Patent:

20050173174, Aug 11, 2005

Filed:

Feb 11, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/775116

Inventors:

Richard Edmonds - Telford PA, US

International Classification:

B62M023/02

US Classification:

180206000

Abstract:

A kinematic speed controller for a vehicle requires the constant deliberate movement of a rotary apparatus which is physically independent from the vehicle drive system. It does not require substantial operator muscle power since there is no direct mechanical connection between the kinematic controller and the vehicle drive system. The rotary apparatus which controls the vehicle speed may be a foot pedal and crank assembly. Additionally, the invention may include a variable degree of resistance to the rotary input device to enhance operator control or to provide muscle exercise for the operator if desired. Furthermore, the invention may include the variable setting of the relationship between the speed of the rotary input device and the amount of power provided to drive the vehicle and hence the speed of the vehicle. The components of the invention may be arranged to visually simulate a bicycle-type mechanical chain drive. The speed controller is preferably connected to an electrical generator which through appropriate circuitry controls the amount of power delivered to a drive motor from batteries. A simple electrical key switch may be utilized to completely disable the operation of the vehicle.

Appl. No.:

7/846708

Inventors:

Richard F. Edmonds - Sellersville PA
William C. Sholly - Souderton PA

Assignee:

B & G Manufacturing Co. - Hatfield PA

International Classification:

B21C 2600
B31F 107

US Classification:

72 71

Abstract:

A machine combines metal rod chamfering and stamping operations into a single machining operation. Cutting the chamfer on the end of the rod is accomplished by a rotating cutting tool affixed to a chuck which rotates with a spindle about an axis co-linear with the axis of the workpiece. Both the chuck and the spindle contain a hollow bore along their rotational axes. This bore holds a stamping rod which is free to move axially within the spindle. A stamping impact unit is located at the opposite end of the spindle which acts upon the opposite end of the stamping rod. At the desired moment within the chamfering operation, the stamping rod is hammered into the end face of the workpiece by the impact unit. The imprint end of the stamping rod functions as a mechanical stop to locate the depth the workpiece is inserted into a clamping collet.
