Abstract: A coil handling device which orientates coils on a reel between two positions, e.g., vertical axis and horizontal axis. The device is constructed to be suspended from an overhead hoist and thereby lift or lower a reel to a selected position. The device is constructed to cause the center of gravity of the reel to coincide with the axis of rotation when suspended. Therefore, the forces of resistance caused by weight are eliminated and only friction forces have to be overcome. Hence, a manual device is provided.

Abstract: This specification discloses a bowling pin fabricated in three sections from plastic material having two different physical characteristics; the hollow top and bottom sections having approximately the same high density, same coefficient of restitution and same melt index, while the medial section is fabricated from plastic material having a greater density, a lower coefficient of restitution and a higher melt index, to permit spinning the top and bottom sections to the medial section, thereby to provide a plastic bowling pin with the physical characteristics of hard maple wood. A base plug may be secured to the bottom section.
