Appl. No.:

6/290769

Inventors:

William Mancini - Prospect CT

Abstract:

A tool kit is provided for enabling easy removal and attachment of a watch strap or band to a watch using spring bar type connectors. The tool kit comprises a work table and one or more tools which are stored in compartments in the work table and held releasably therein by detent means. The work table includes a watch support pad on which the watch is positioned for removal and attachment of the strap or band with one of the tools, the pad being made of rubber or other suitable material so as not to harm the watch finish. The work table also includes a pintle-compressing member in the form of a generally upright plate-like member having a first side wall and a recessed second side wall connected together at one end by a narrow end wall whose thickness is selected to compress a pintle of the spring bar connector when the plate-like member is positioned between a free watch case lug and a free end of the connector with the other end of the connector being engaged against the other watch case lug. The recess in the second side wall extends toward and terminates at the end wall and is designed to receive the free pintle of the spring bar connector and guide it into engagement with the free watch case lug to complete attachment of the watch strap and connector to the lugs. The tools stored in the work table may be used to both remove and attach a watch strap or band to a watch.

International Classification:

F01D 904

US Classification:

4152092

Abstract:

Field replacement of a damaged outlet guide vane for redirecting helical airflow into axial flow in a turbofan engine is facilitated by utilizing a replacement vane assembly that includes an elongated replacement vane having first and second mounting platforms mounted at opposite ends of the vane. The first mounting platform is fixedly secured to the inner end of the vane and the second mounting platform is mounted so as to be movable from the outer end of the vane toward the inner end thereof. With the second mounting platform at the outer end of the vane, that mounting platform constitutes a substantial bulge which is positioned so as to limit the ability to maneuver the vane in a confined space. By moving the outer mounting platform toward the inner end of the vane, it is easier to maneuver the vane in a confined space and thereby facilitate entry of the outer mounting platform over the lip of and into the outer annular casing groove that partially defines the operating position for the replacement vane.

Abstract:

A turbine engine structure includes a turbine engine core having a core cocooning feature, and a fan fore of the turbine engine core, relative to fluid flow through the turbine engine structure. The fan is drivably connected to the turbine engine core via a shaft. A nacelle circumferentially surrounds the turbine engine core, and a bypass flowpath is defined between the turbine engine core and the nacelle. A plurality of augmenter fuel spray bars are disposed in the bypass flowpath.
