WPG (Wood’s Powr-Grip)的历史

1947 年，霍华德伍德在蒙大拿州沃尔夫角开设了伍德汽车电气公司，这是一家汽车、电动和小型发动机维修店。在研磨过程中试图固定小型发动机气门时经历了多年的挫折，霍华德在 1960 年代初期设计并制造了第一台WPG (Wood’s Powr-Grip) 气门磨床。该工具由一个安装在木柄上的小型弹簧作用真空泵组成，与连接到发动机气门平面的橡胶吸盘相对。

起初，他只是为自己和朋友构建了这些工具，但很快公众就开始需要这种独特的小工具。随着 Powr-Grip 阀门研磨机的普及，一位玻璃工朋友建议霍华德开发一种用于处理玻璃的真空杯。

霍华德试验并开发了各种尺寸的真空杯。不久玻璃行业就注意到了这项发明。这些杯子在泵上有一个独特的红线真空指示器，如果发生真空损失，它会警告用户，还有一个检查球，可以在不破坏杯子的抓地力的情况下恢复失去的真空。这些功能——当今 Powr-Grip 真空杯的商标——当时在世界其他任何地方都没有。

OUR HISTORY

In 1947, Howard Wood opened Wood’s Auto Electric, an automotive, electric and small engine repair shop in Wolf Point, Montana. After years of frustration while trying to hold small engine valves during the lapping process, Howard designed and built the first Wood’s Powr-Grip Valve Grinder in the early 1960’s. The tool consisted of a small, spring-action vacuum pump mounted in a wooden handle, opposite a rubber suction cup which attached to the flat surface of an engine valve.

At first he simply built these tools for himself and friends, but soon the general public was demanding the unique little tool. As the popularity of the Powr-Grip Valve Grinder grew, a glazier friend suggested Howard develop a vacuum cup for handling glass.

Howard experimented and developed vacuum cups in a variety of sizes. It wasn’t long before the glass industry took note of the invention. These cups possessed a unique red-line vacuum indicator on the pump that warned the user if vacuum loss occurred and a check ball that restored lost vacuum without breaking the cup’s grip. Neither of these features—the trademarks of today’s Powr-Grip vacuum cups—were available anywhere else in the world at that time.
