Appl. No.:

6/659402

Inventors:

Phillip J. Quedens - Berlin CT
Peter J. Dutko - Durham CT
Raymond F. Larson - Middlefield CT

International Classification:

A61B 1000

US Classification:

128660

Abstract:

An ultrasonic medical diagnostic imaging system is disclosed having an articulated mounting structure for supporting a television image display monitor component. The structure includes a first arm mounted for pivotal movement about a first substantially vertical axis. A second arm is pivotally connected to the first arm for movement about a second movable vertical axis displaced from the first axis. Journaling structure couples the second arm to one axis side of the television monitor for tilting rotation of the monitor about a substantially horizontal axis. Elevator structure defines a vertical travel path of monitor position. Rack apparatus associated with the elevator facilitates locking the monitor at intermediate points along its vertical travel path. Spring bias apparatus applies an upward biasing force to counterbalance the weight of the monitor and the other vertically movable portions of the structure. Damping apparatus frictionally inhibits unattended movement of the monitor.

Appl. No.:

5/717293

Inventors:

Frank R. Dombrowski - Kingston IL

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Fort Wayne IN

International Classification:

B23Q 1700
B26D 104

US Classification:

29403

Abstract:

A method of stripping from a dynamoelectric machine stator a plurality of windings thereof having one of a pair of opposite generally annular grouping of end turns of the windings secured therefrom. The method includes the steps of: lowering the stator onto means for seating and supporting it so as to dispose the other of the end turns in a predetermined position; gripping the other end turns for maintaining them generally against displacement from the predetermined positions; and driving the seating means generally upwardly relative to the winding and moving the stator conjointly therewith toward a position displaced from the windings while gripping the other end turns in the predetermined position thereby stripping the windings from the stator.

US Classification:

29762

Abstract:

Apparatus for stripping from a dynamoelectric machine stator a plurality of windings thereof with one of a pair of opposite generally annular groupings of end turns severed therefrom. The apparatus has means movable between a mounting position and a displaced position for generally loosely seating the stator and supporting it in the mounting and displaced positions and also means for gripping engagement with the other of the end turns when the stator is in the mounting position to generally maintain the windings against displacement from the mounting position. The seating and supporting means is movable from the mounting position in response to a force applied thereto to conjointly move the stator relative to the windings to the displaced position thereby to effect the stripping of the windings from the stator when the gripping means is engaged with the other end turns. A method for stripping windings from a stator for dynamoelectric machine is also disclosed.

B26D 300

US Classification:

83 34

Abstract:

Apparatus for severing from a plurality of windings in a dynamoelectric machine stator a generally annular grouping of winding end turns extending from an end face of the stator. The apparatus has means movable generally in a predetermined plane for severing at least a portion of the winding end turns from the stator windings. Means for mounting the stator includes means for positioning the end face generally adjacent the predetermined plane and also means for supporting the winding end turns portion adjacent the end face and the plane upon the severance of the winding end turns portion in response to the movement of the severing means into severing engagement therewith. A method for severing the end turns from the stator winding, a method of mounting the stator having end turns adapted to be severed, and means for mounting a stator in apparatus for severing end turns from windings of the stator are also disclosed.
