A construction retention system. The system includes a construction clip having a body portion coupled to an elongated portion and a shortened portion. The body portion includes a carrying rod receiving portion disposed between elongated portion and the shortened portion. The clip includes a first tab coupled to a proximate end of the body portion. The carrying rod receiving portion receives a carrying rod. The first tab receives a tensioning wire. The system further includes a beam clamp removably secured to an I-beam and secures the carrying rod. The construction clip is removably secured to the beam clamp and to the carrying rod. The tensioning wire tension-secures the construction clip to the carrying rod and the beam clamp.

Construction clip

A pneumatic tire has a carcass structure extending through a pair of opposing bead portions and an inner liner located inward of the carcass structure, each bead portion comprising a bead core about which is wrapped the carcass structure and a toeguard. Each bead portion has a bead toe, a bead base, and a bead heel, the bead base extending between the bead toe and the bead heel. The bead heel has a profile corresponding to a sector of an ellipse or approximates a sector of an ellipse by having a dual radius structure. The bead base may have a dual taper configuration. The bead core may be substantially centered in the bead portion, as determined by the material thickness at three locations about the bead core.

A strip component ( ) is carried by a liner ( ) into a storage spool (24) having spiral grooved flanges ( ) for edges of the liner ( ) which are guided into the grooves by guide rods ( ) which do not interfere with the transporting of the strip component ( ) into and out of the spool ( ).

Storage spool with coiled liner

A method for temporarily storing a plurality of endless, intermediate articles of manufacture being characterized by: (i) placing an endless, intermediate article of manufacture in a load/unload position on the storage device ; (ii) indexing the article out of the load/unload position and into a storage position; and (iii) repeating these steps with additional articles. In the preferred method, the step of indexing the article into a storage position being further characterized by the steps of: (i) detecting the presence of the article in the load/unload position; (ii) moving the article away from the load/unload position; and (iii) stopping the article when the presence of the article in the load/unload position is no longer detected.

Method for temporary storage of endless, intermediate articles of manufacture

A conveyor assembly and method for conveying and storing a strip material in a conveyor system that is subject to changes in length of the strip material due to intermittent operation includes an upper conveyor (,), an adjustable substantially horizontal center conveyor (,) for receiving the strip material (,) from the upper conveyor, and a lower conveyor (,) for receiving the associated strip material from the center conveyor. A computer (,) controls the movement and rotation of the center conveyor, and loop detecting apparatus on the center conveyor may also detect a loop (,) in the strip material carried by the center conveyor and thereby detecting changes in length of the strip material not predetermined by the computer. A servomechanism (,) activated by signals from the computer or the loop detecting apparatus moves the center conveyor in a substantially horizontal direction.

Strip material is stored in stock rolls on cassettes positioned in side by side relationship and moveable on a carriage between different roll storage positions and a splicing position. Each cassette has a guide member engageable with a guide member on a stationary support for splicing a leading edge of strip material from one roll to a trailing edge of strip material from another roll. A single actuating cylinder and shaft on the stationary support moves the guide members together providing splicing of strip material on all the rolls.

Disclosed is a motor driven arm rehabilitation device which includes a rotatable forearm support structure capable of being rotated back and forth through a predetermined arc at a predetermined speed and with a predetermined force applied, and a fluid motor such as a rotary actuator for rotating this support structure. Rotation of the supporting structure causes alternate flexion and extension of the patient's arm. The arc of rotation, frequency of rotation and force applied can be varied in accordance with the patient's needs. Associated with the forearm supporting structure is a wrist stabilizer which causes alternate pronation and supination of the wrist as the forearm is alternately flexed and extended. The device also has an upper arm supporting structure.
