Abstract
Apparatus for use in screwing a cover onto an annular bearing seat provided at the circumference of a circular orifice, the cover being provided with a circle of screws to be engaged in threaded bores in the bearing seat, comprises a screwing device comprising an arm pivotable about the axis of a pivot mounted on a support plate to be fixed to the cover, the arm extending perpendicular to the axis of the pivot which extends perpendicular to the plane of the bearing seat, a screwing head mounted on the end of the arm and carrying a screw key for engaging and rotating the screws, and which is movable axially between an operative position engaging a screw and an inoperative position clear of the screw and permitting the arm to rotate to bring the screw key into alignment with another screw, and drive means for rotating the arm, for rotating the screw key and for moving the screw key axially, a remote control console for controlling the drive means, and a television circuit for remote observation of operation of the device.
