System For Rotating Objet D'art

View page
US Patent:
20020194758, Dec 26, 2002
Filed:
Jun 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/886596
Inventors:
Brian Challis - Sandy UT, US
International Classification:
G09F019/08
US Classification:
040/411000
Abstract:
A system for rotating an objet d'art (object), includes an outer hollow cylinder in which is rotatably disposed an inner hollow cylinder, and an elongated shaft rotatably disposed in the hollow of the inner cylinder. An electric motor is coupled by a drive belt to a pulley mounted on the inner cylinder, so when the motor is operated, the inner cylinder rotates which, in turn, causes the shaft to rotate. The object is mounted on a top end of the shaft to rotate when the shaft is rotated. Rotation of the shaft and object may be temporarily stopped, reversed or otherwise altered without stopping operation of the motor since the shaft rotates independent of the inner cylinder, while the inner cylinder continues to rotate.

Adjustable Vise

View page
US Patent:
50765523, Dec 31, 1991
Filed:
Apr 27, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/515208
Inventors:
Brian Challis - Sandy UT
International Classification:
B25B 102
US Classification:
269 6
Abstract:
An adjustable vise includes a toggle plier having first and second handles pivotally joined together to move relative to one another, a fixed jaw mounted to extend upwardly from one end of the first handle, a mounting bar pivotally joining the handles together and extending laterally in one direction from the handles generally perpendicular thereto, and a moveable jaw mounted on the bar to slide therealong and to extend upwardly to a spaced-apart position from the fixed jaw so that when the handles are moved apart, the jaws are caused to move away from one another and when the handles are moved together, the jaws are caused to move toward one another. A locking mechanism is mounted on the moveable jaw and is operable to selectively lock the moveable jaw in place on the mounting bar to thereby prevent sliding movement of the moveable jaw, or to unlock the moveable jaw from the mounting bar to allow sliding movement with respect thereto. The moveable jaw includes a channel through which the mounting bar may be inserted, at least a portion of the channel being shaped to define a wedge-shaped void between a wall of the channel and the mounting bar. The locking mechanism includes a foot having a wedge-shaped section disposable in the channel void and moveable between a first position in which the wedge-shaped section of the foot is in locking contact with the slide bar and the wall of the channel to prevent sliding of the moveable jaw, and a second position in which the wedge-shaped section of the foot is out of contact with the channel wall to allow sliding of the moveable jaw.

Adjustable Lock Mechanism

Filed:
Apr 22, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/688433
Inventors:
Brian Challis - Sandy UT
International Classification:
B25B 102

Apparatus For Hydraulically Locking A Hollow Cylinder Body Onto A Shaft

View page
US Patent:
54294460, Jul 4, 1995
Filed:
Aug 9, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/103097
Inventors:
Brian Challis - Sandy UT
Assignee:
L. J. Smith, Inc. - Bowerston OH
International Classification:
F16D 380
F16L 1700
B23B 522
US Classification:
403 31
Abstract:
An apparatus for selectively and hydraulically locking a hollow cylinder body, such as a lathe cylinder body, onto, and unlocking the cylinder body from, a cylindrical shaft includes a tubular sleeve defining an axially extending passage therein, the sleeve including a centrally located exterior annular channel. The hollow body includes an axially extending cylindrical passage and a single female threaded bore formed to extend radially through the hollow cylinder body to bisect the axial passage thereof. The sleeve is inserted and fixed within the axially extending passage of the body so that the annular channel faces and is closed off by the walls of the axially extending passage to thereby form an annular cavity which is in fluidic communication with the female threaded bore. A cylindrical shaft, such as a lathe spindle or the like, is allowed to pass through the axial passage of the body and thus also through the axial passage of the sleeve so that the sleeve resides within a thin tubular passage between the body and the shaft. A hydraulic pressure fluid is poured into the bore to substantially fill the cavity.

Boring Jig Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
48654965, Sep 12, 1989
Filed:
Sep 19, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/245524
Inventors:
Brian Challis - Sandy UT
Assignee:
Challis Stairways, Inc. - Sandy UT
International Classification:
B23B 4514
US Classification:
408115R
Abstract:
A jig used for precision boring of holes in a working surface of an elongate work piece includes a pair of mounting plates and an elongate connecting member for mounting the plates together in adjustable, spaced positions such that the plates face each other and can be moved in a direction toward and away from each other. Engagement pad members are attached to mutually respective, bottom sides of the pair of plates. The pad members are adapted to engage opposite sides of a work piece in firm engagement therebetween when the pair of plates are moved toward each other, with the work piece being disengaged when the pair of plates are moved away from each other. A guide member is mounted between the pair of plates and is adapted to guide a boring tool in a linear movement toward and away from a working face of the work piece. The guide member is mounted and positioned such that the linear movement of the boring tool lies in a plane passing generally through the longitudinal axis of the work piece. The mounting of the guide member further allows for movement of the guide member in an arcuate path such that the angle between the direction of linear movement of the boring tool and the longitudinal axis of the work piece can be selectively varied.

Method And Structure For Joining Two Elongate Objects Together End-To-End

View page
US Patent:
51257602, Jun 30, 1992
Filed:
Jun 20, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/718374
Inventors:
Brian Challis - Sandy UT
Assignee:
Challis Stairways, Inc. - Sandy UT
International Classification:
F16B 700
US Classification:
403296
Abstract:
A method and structure for joining two elongate objects together end-to-end includes a first object having an end formed with an annular groove, a second object having an end formed with an annular ridge dimensioned to fit snugly in the annular groove of the first object, and a double-ended screw, one end of which is screwed into the first object at a point spaced equally from the various circumferential sections of the group, and the other end of which is screwed into the second object at a point spaced equally from the various circumferential sections of the ridge to thereby join and hold the first and second objects together with the ridge fitted in the groove.

Angular Displacement Measuring Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
49400630, Jul 10, 1990
Filed:
Feb 23, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/314441
Inventors:
Brian Challis - Sandy UT
International Classification:
A61B 510
US Classification:
128774
Abstract:
Angular displacement measuring apparatus includes a tightly-wound coil spring conduit which, when bent, elongates on the outside of the bend without substantially shortening on the inside of the bend. A wire is disposed within the conduit to extend from one end, where the wire is fixed so that it cannot slide longitudinally relative to the conduit, to the other end, where the wire is free to slide longitudinally relative to the conduit. A movement measuring device is mounted on the other end of the conduit and coupled to the wire for measuring movement of the wire. As the conduit is bent, the wire is caused to move an amount proportional to the degree of the bend and so measurement of the movement of the wire serves as a measure of the degree of the bend, i. e. , angle of displacement of the conduit. Bending in an object is determined by attaching the conduit to the object to be measured.
