Low Friction Gripper
US Patent:
5186515, Feb 16, 1993
Filed:
Nov 27, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/799080
Inventors:
Kenneth Y. Goldberg - Bethlehem PA
Merrick L. Furst - Pittsburgh PA
Merrick L. Furst - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Carnegie Mellon University - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
B66C 142, B25B 124, B25B 516
US Classification:
2941191
Abstract:
An apparatus for gripping objects comprising a first jaw having a first support member and a first support plate that is slidingly attached to the support member with respect to a first direction or motion. The apparatus is also comprised of a second jaw that has a second support member and a second surface plate attached to the second surface member. Additionally, the apparatus is comprised of a structure holding the first jaw and the second jaw such that the first jaw and the second jaw can move in a second direction toward or away from each other to grip or release the object, respectively. In a preferred embodiment, the second surface plate is fixedly attached to the second support member and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The sliding action of the first support plate acts to reduce the effective frictional force between the object and jaws to facilitate stable grasping.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus (including computer program apparatus) for a browser-aware application delivery system. The System provides World Wide Web browser extensions based on server processes rather than on plug-in program modules loaded and installed on a user's machine. The system operates like a monitor for a user while the user is browsing the web, and enables the user to obtain and interact with context-sensitive services and information based on the user's browsing activity. The system allows the user to add application tools, which are implemented on servers separate from the user's computer. Third parties can easily add tools to the system by registering application services with the system.
