SOLENOID ACTUATED SEMI-AUTOMATIC AUXILIARY GUIDE ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18333170 titled 'SOLENOID ACTUATED SEMI-AUTOMATIC AUXILIARY GUIDE ASSEMBLY

The abstract of the patent application describes an auxiliary guide assembly consisting of a hub, a head with guiding and overriding surfaces, a solenoid, and an armature that engages the head in an extended position.

The auxiliary guide assembly includes a hub, a head with guiding and overriding surfaces, a solenoid, and an armature.
The head is rotatably coupled to the hub, allowing for movement.
The solenoid receives an electric current to activate the assembly.
The armature is magnetically coupled to the solenoid and engages the head in an extended position.
This assembly provides a mechanism for guiding and controlling movement in a specific direction.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in robotic systems for precise movement control. - It may find applications in conveyor systems for directing the flow of materials. - Automotive manufacturing processes could benefit from this assembly for automated guidance.

Problems Solved: - The auxiliary guide assembly solves the problem of accurately controlling the movement of mechanical components. - It addresses the need for a reliable mechanism to guide and direct motion in various applications.

Benefits: - Improved precision in movement control. - Enhanced automation capabilities in industrial processes. - Increased efficiency and accuracy in mechanical systems.

Commercial Applications: Title: Precision Guidance System for Industrial Automation This technology could be utilized in automated assembly lines, robotic arms, and material handling systems in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and automotive.

Questions about Auxiliary Guide Assembly: 1. How does the armature engage with the head in the extended position? The armature is magnetically coupled to the solenoid, allowing it to move and engage with the head when extended.

2. What is the purpose of the overriding surface on the head? The overriding surface on the head may serve to override certain movements or provide additional control in specific situations.

Original Abstract Submitted

An auxiliary guide assembly is disclosed herein. The auxiliary guide assembly includes a hub, a head including a first guiding surface and a first overriding surface, the head rotatably coupled to the hub, a solenoid coupled to the hub and configured to receive an electric current, and an armature magnetically coupled to the solenoid, the armature being configured to engage the head when in the armature is an extended position.
