Patent
·
OSTI ID:4838975
A remote-control manipulator for handling contaminated material is described. The manipulator consists of a handle mounted in universal suspension on a housing at one end of a supporting tube, wherein the supporting tube is mounted in and passes through a ball joint, which is carried in a protective wall of a contaminated space. The handle and the operating member are disposed without and within the space respectively. The handle carries a plate which is in contact with at least three pins, slidably mounted in the housing. The pins are in pressure contact through hydraulic means with the same number of additional pins which are slidably mounted in an additional housing and which are in contact with an additional plate carried by an operating member mounted in universal suspension on the additional housing at the other end of the supporting tube. The pins are formed as continuous rods with each end of the rods being in contact with one of the plates. The operating member carries a chuck jaw for manipulating purposes. (N.W.R.)
