Device for releasing cap from shaft for resistor spot welding plant, has ring segment discs that are mounted in guide such that ring segment discs are moved simultaneously along direction of the longitudinal axis of shaft

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a device for efficiently removing a cap from a shaft in a resistor spot welding plant. The device uses ring segment discs that engage the gap between the cap and shaft, and are designed to move together along the shaft's longitudinal axis to release the cap. A method for performing this action is also claimed.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

Patent Abstract

The device has receiving space (18) for receiving portion of shaft and/or portion of cap. The inner section of ring segment disc (20a) is engaged with gap that is formed between cap and shaft along radial direction. The ring segment discs are supported in guide such that ring segment discs are moved simultaneously along direction of the longitudinal axis of the shaft. An independent claim is included for method for releasing cap from shaft.
