Abstract
A mechanical adaptor to enable the motorization of an otherwise non-motorized strut compressor for use in assembling and disassembling a strut assembly of the type having a shock absorber axially disposed within a coil spring. The adaptor when used in combination with an electric pipe threader and an otherwise non-motorized strut compressor enables a method for the motorized compression and release of strut springs using the otherwise non-motorized strut compressor.
Claims7
A mechanical adaptor for compressing springs with a strut spring compressor using a portable electric pipe threader motor assembly, said mechanical adaptor comprising:
- a) a metal unitary hub with a top portion and a bottom portion, each having a vertical centered axis;
- b) said top portion having an outside surface configured to fit a die holder of a motorized unit of a portable electric pipe threader, said top portion having an opening aligned with said centered vertical axis;
- c) said bottom portion having an opening aligned with said top portion opening;
- d) means to rigidly mount onto an upper hub of said strut compressor.
A motorized strut spring compressor, said spring compressor comprising in combination:
- a. A motorized unit of a portable electric pipe threader and a non-mechanized strut spring compressor wherein said motorized unit is rigidly mounted to said spring compressor by an anti-rotation stem and also rigidly mounted to an upper hub of said spring compressor by a die holder of said motorized unit, said upper hub having an appropriate shape for said motorized unit to mount thereto by the die holder of said unit.
