Abstract
Description
- Supporting tools are known for supporting parts during specific treatments, like electrolytic coating.
- Such tools must be designed to support the part with minimal contacting surface to allow the near totality of the surface of the part to be accessible for treatment. However, such tools must also provide a good stability of the part when in position into the tool.
- An object of the invention is to provide a supporting tooling which is easy to manipulate and which provides minimum contacting surface with the part to support.
- To this end, the invention calls for a supporting tool for supporting a substantially cylindrical part, like a landing gear rod or cylinder, said supporting tool comprising a metallic frame carrying at least one metallic ring in electrical conductive relation with the frame, the metallic ring carrying a plurality of conical spikes of non-conductive material projecting inward so as to engage the part with minimum contact surface when said part is in place within the tool, said ring being openable so as to allow the part to be inserted into the ring and closable after the part has been inserted.
- In a particular embodiment, the ring includes two separate members, said members being equipped with locking means for separating or joining the member in a circular shape ring.
- Preferably, the frame also includes two members, each ring member being carried by one of said frame members.
- The invention will be more deeply understood in the light of the following description of particular embodiments of the invention, in view of the unique FIGURE which is a partial view of a supporting tool according to the invention, with a cylindrical part in place into the tool.
- The
FIG. 1 illustrates a supportingtool 1 according to the invention, supporting alanding gear rod 100. The landing gear rod has a main portion that is essentially cylindrical in shape, and the invention is more particularly about holding such a part. - The supporting
tool 1 includes a frame having at least to parallelmetallic members parallel members - A plurality of
rings 3 extend in between theparallel members FIG. 1 . The central axis of eachring 3 coincides with axis X. Eachring 3 is held by theparallel members brackets 4 extending between the parallel members and the ring. Thebrackets 4 ensure an electrical continuity between the parallel member of the frame and therings 3. - Each
ring 3 is split so as to exhibit twofree ends part 100 penetrate into thering 3. Thefree ends locking member 5 so as to allow thering 3 to be closed when thepart 100 is in place into thering 3. In this particular embodiment, thelocking member 5 is of the toggle fastener type and includes ahook 5 a carried by thefree end 3 a, alever 5 b articulated on thefree end 3 b, and abuckle 5 c articulated on thelever 5 b and projecting so as to engage thehook 5 a. - The
ring 3 is equipped with a plurality of non-conductiveconical spikes 6 carried by respective screws engaged into corresponding threaded orifices of thering 3. Thespikes 6 may be made in PVC or similar isolating material. The spikes project inwards thering 3 so as to contact thepart 100. When thepart 100 is in place into the supporting tool and thelocking member 5 is fastened, the conical pikes engage thepart 100 to exert a slight pressure on thepart 100, but within a very limited contact surface. Such a pressure can be easily tuned by simply turning thescrews 7 by means ofheads 8 thereof. - The spikes also electrically isolate the
part 100 from the metallic frame. This is very advantageous as far as electrolytical coating or similar operations are concerned. - Other variants of the invention as easily derived from this particular embodiment. In a first variant, the
ring 7 may be made in two half-rings, therefore exhibiting four free ends. The half-rings may then be equipped with two locking members for fastening the free ends two by two. In an other variant, the frame itself may be split into two half-frames that may be approached of the part from opposite sides, and then fastened one to the other. The half-rings would then be fastened so as to tightly surround thepart 100.
