Jan 17, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/654196
Inventors:
Allan T. Fisk - Needham MA, US
Michael L. Robert - Uxbridge MA, US
Michael T. Johnson - Southborough MA, US
Charles Edwin Dean - Shrewsbury MA, US
Assignee:
Foster-Miller, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
B62D 13/00
US Classification:
280443, 280445, 280 524
Abstract:
A trailer and hitch system for a mobile robot. The trailer includes a front Ackerman steering linkage, a releasable locking mechanism for releasably positioning the Ackerman steering linkage in a turned position to arrest the trailer, a tow bar extending upwardly from the Ackerman steering linkage and terminating in a lunette ring, and spaced skid members extending downwardly and rearwardly. The mobile robot includes a hitch assembly for the lunette ring. The hitch assembly has a frame including a slot for the lunette ring and a guide portion for guiding the lunette ring into the slot, a latch pivotable with respect to the frame and biased to close the slot, and a decoupling mechanism configured to move the latch to release the lunette ring from the slot. A robot arm is maneuverable to engage the decoupling mechanism.

US Patent:
7895930, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
Jan 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/656864
Inventors:
Allan T. Fisk - Needham MA, US
Hans Hug - Weston MA, US
Michael T. Johnson - Southborough MA, US
Nathan R. Desmeule - Bellingham MA, US
Assignee:
Foster-Miller, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
B64D 1/04
US Classification:
89 11, 89 113, 102402, 901 19, 42 94
Abstract:
A mobile remotely controlled robot includes a robot platform and a robot arm maneuverable with respect to the robot platform. A housing is configured to be removably mounted to the robot arm. A sleeve is translatable with respect to the housing for receiving a weapon therein. There is a gear rack on the sleeve and a pinion gear, rotatably disposed in the housing, is engaged with the gear rack. A braking subsystem resists rotation of the pinion gear when the gear rack translates upon firing of the weapon.

Robot Arm Assembly

US Patent:
8176808, May 15, 2012
Filed:
Sep 13, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/901200
Inventors:
Allan T. Fisk - Needham MA, US
Jonathan Hastie - Halifax MA, US
Hans Hug - Weston MA, US
Lance Andrus - Southborough MA, US
Michael Johnson - Southborough MA, US
David Hoadley - Lexington MA, US
Assignee:
Foster-Miller, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
B25J 17/00
B25J 17/02
B25J 18/00
US Classification:
7449005, 7449003
Abstract:
A robot arm assembly a base unit with a shoulder assembly rotatably disposed on the base unit. A lower robot arm is pivotably attached to the shoulder assembly. An upper robot arm is pivotably attached to the lower robot arm. The base unit includes a first motor which rotates a main shaft fixed to the shoulder assembly to rotate the shoulder. A second motor in the base unit rotates a second shaft in the shoulder assembly extending through the main shaft to pivot the lower robot arm with respect to the shoulder.

US Patent:
8276500, Oct 2, 2012
Filed:
Jan 11, 2011
Appl. No.:
12/930572
Inventors:
Allan T. Fisk - Needham MA, US
Hans Hug - Weston MA, US
Michael T. Johnson - Southborough MA, US
Nathan R. Desmeule - Bellingham MA, US
Assignee:
Foster-Miller, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
F41A 23/00
US Classification:
89 3701, 89 4001
Abstract:
A weapon mount including a housing through which the weapon translates when fired, a conversion subsystem configured to convert translation of the weapon when fired into rotational motion, and a braking subsystem for resisting rotation of the conversion subsystem.

Scott R. Albin - Carlisle MA, US
Allan T. Fisk - Needham MA, US
Assignee:
Foster-Miller, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
B66C 1/00
B66C 1/42
US Classification:
294106
Abstract:

Sealing Between Relatively Rotating Members In Boring Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
40209105, May 3, 1977
Filed:
May 19, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/688042
Inventors:
Carl R. Peterson - Boxford MA
Allan T. Fisk - Salem MA
Assignee:
Rapidex, Inc. - Gloucester MA
International Classification:
E21B 922
F16J 1534
US Classification:
175345
Abstract:
A boring apparatus having a working member mounted for rotation on a lubricated bearing about a shaft member, the apparatus being of the type in which substantial radial and axial relative motion between said members occurs in response to radial and axial loading conditions encountered by the working member during operation in an abrasive laden external environment, including an improved seal assembly between the members for sealing the bearing from the environment while accommodating the radial and axial relative motion, the seal assembly comprising a seal carrier mounted in a space between the members, a dynamic seal element supported between the carrier and one of the members to form a dynamic seal therebetween, and a static seal element supported between the carrier and a radially extending surface of the other of the members, the dynamic seal element being axially slidable along the one member to accommodate the axial relative motion, the static seal element being deformable and radially slidable along the surface to accommodate said radial relative motion.

Boring Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
39774813, Aug 31, 1976
Filed:
Jun 9, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/585452
Inventors:
Allan T. Fisk - Salem MA
Carl R. Peterson - Boxford MA
Assignee:
Rapidex, Inc. - Gloucester MA
International Classification:
E21B 924
US Classification:
175228
Abstract:
Boring apparatus having a plurality of hole-enlarging assemblies comprising shaft-mounted working members. In a convergent arrangement of the axes of the working members the assemblies are completed by insertion of the elongated shafts via a hollow space in the bottom connector, through passages in the frame. The upper ends of the shafts are shown held in holes in the frame, and the exterior upper and lower surfaces of the frame are shown as surfaces of revolution, free of wear points. The passages are shown to form cut-outs in the thread of the connector in the first preferred embodiment. In other embodiments the passages are formed through an extension of the frame preceding the connector, and a two-part connector assembly is provided, the passage entering a hollow space provided by the outer part. Also shown, in a boring apparatus, are self-contained lubrication systems in the shafts of each of a multiplicity of rock boring assemblies, with lubricant pressurized by the flushing fluid, as by flid passing through the shaft, and lubrication fill points at the ends of the shafts, preferably accessible through the hollow space of the bottom connector.

Guided Mole

US Patent:
53223918, Jun 21, 1994
Filed:
Sep 1, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/938819
Inventors:
Allan T. Fisk - Needham MA
Assignee:
Foster-Miller, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
E21B 704
US Classification:
175 73
Abstract:
Boring apparatus for forming a generally horizontal underground passage in soil for a utility conduit or the like that includes a tool head with a base portion and a nose portion mounted on the base portion. The nose portion is rotatable relative to the base portion between a first position in which nose portion surfaces are symmetrical with respect to the tool axis so that the tool will move along a straight path and a second position in which nose portion surfaces are in asymmetrical position with respect to the tool axis so that said tool will move along a curved path. By application of torque to the base portion, the base portion is shifted relative to the nose portion to shift the tool head from between an asymmetrical configuration and a symmetrical configuration.
