Abstract: A building machine, useful for building drawers and other products, having first and second carriages, sub-carriages moveably mounted on the carriages, a work-piece space between the carriages during building, fastening guns, first and second sets of spaced shiftable gun holders carrying the guns and disposed on first and second sides of the work-piece space, gun holder mounting assemblies movably mounting the gun holders on the sub-carriages, all movements being in a manner whereby the guns are positionable by adjustment with respect to the work-piece space in three dimensions, the guns being for driving staples, brads, pins, or nails.

Abstract: A conveyor in combination with a strapper for strapping objects on the conveyor automatically as the conveyor is automatically stopped in many pre-selected places.

Abstract: A string stapler comprising a stapling gun, a string guide guiding string from a spool to a position under the staple outlet of the gun whereby an operator can dispense string and also staple the string in place with a same unit, a hollow string-spool axle being mounted at the air inlet of the gun.

Abstract: A furniture unit adapted for kit-sale and home assembly comprising a horizontal supporting assembly, useful as an open-surfaced seating surface or an open-surfaced table top, and having parallel slats held apart by spacing members and by four legs, threaded compression assemblies extending through and compressing together the slats and legs and spacing members.The unit having pairs of elongated horizontally spaced connector assemblies each comprising a threaded compression assembly as one connector of a pair and the other connector of a pair can be a dowel, the slats being of wood or of other material expanding with humidity, and each leg being fixed by at least one complete pair of connector assemblies extending therethrough.The unit described having a back between two back-supporting posts, the posts being integral with two legs to form a chair, the back being formed of major back members separated by back spacers and secured by a pair of connector assemblies as described.

Abstract: A compactor-strapper comprising spaced forward and rearward fixed jaws, forward and rearward moveable jaws, hingedly attached independent actuators for said forward and rearward jaws, said jaws having removeable and replaceable insert members providing cavities forming a work reception chamber, and a strapping machine having a strap applying portion arranged around a strapping space defined by said cavities and between said forward and rearward jaws, and pneumatic circuitry with automatic cycling, controlling said jaws, said strapper, and a bundle ejector, resultant from a single manual control motion.
