An on-car disc brake lathe system for resurfacing a brake disc of a vehicle brake assembly includes a lathe body with a driving motor, a cutting head operably attached to the lathe body, and a drive shaft. The system also includes an alignment system having an electronic controller, input and output adaptors configured to rotate with the drive shaft, one or more adjustment discs, and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment disc is positioned between the input adaptor and the output adaptor, and an axial alignment of the input adaptor relative to the output adaptor may be varied based on a rotational orientation of the adjustment disc. The adjustment mechanism is configured to change the rotational orientation of the adjustment disc in response to commands from the electronic controller.

Apparatus and method for automatically compensating for lateral runout

An apparatus and method for automatically compensating for the lateral runout between an on-car lathe apparatus and a vehicle hub axis including one or more stop discs that rotate with the drive shaft of the lathe and that can be selectively stopped from rotating with the shaft by a stop mechanism. In response to such stopping, one or more adjustment discs are caused to rotate in order to adjust the relative position of the axis of the lathe with respect to the axis of the disc brake assembly. In this manner, the system compensates for and corrects lateral runout that exists between two concentrically attached rotating shafts.

A runout measurement and control system including an accelerometer comprising a unit that is positioned on the lathe housing and configured to measure the rotational acceleration of the lathe body during a lateral runout correction sequence. The runout measurement and control system further includes a control circuit comprising a microprocessor that analyzes the accelerometer data to provide a corrective signal that is transmitted to an automated alignment device.

A therapeutic glove for exercising the fingers of a hand includes a glove body having finger and thumb portions each with a tip, an anchor rod for each finger and thumb portion, an elastic resistance band extending along the back of each finger and thumb portion from the tip to the anchor rod, an adjustable wrist portion using a hook and loop type fastener, and an elastic resilient band located on the back of the glove and connected to the anchor rod for each finger at one end and releasably connected to the wrist portion at the opposite end.

Therapeutic glove

A therapeutic glove for exercising the fingers of a hand includes a glove body having finger portions each with a tip, a ring surrounding the tip of each finger portion, an anchor rod for each finger portion, a channel below the surface of the glove body extending along the back of each finger portion from the ring to the anchor rod, and an elastic resistance band located in the channel and connecting together the ring and the anchor rod.
