Abstract: A lever lift assembly is provided for lifting a reel of cable, wire or other material off the floor. In one embodiment of the lever lift assembly, a lever assembly is actuated to retract a lifter assembly underneath the reel causing the reel to be lifted on a pair of drive wheels and a pair of flanged wheels. In one embodiment the lever lift assembly incorporates drive wheels to unroll material from the reel.

Abstract: The flat undersurface of the turntable is supported on three idler casters. The disc is driven on the periphery by a gear motor which has a drive wheel attached. The direction of rotation of the turntable can be reversed by changing the direction of the motor electrically and by moving the position of the motor so that it tends to drive into the disc as it turns thereby increasing the wheel pressure and friction as the load increases. A spring biases the drive wheel towards this position so that when the power is turned off the motor and gear train acts as a brake. A pair of guide wheels act with the drive wheel to center the turntable. The motor speed is controlled by changing the resistance of a potentiometer on a variable speed motor controller. The potentiometer is converted from a circular motion to a linear motion by a capstan and cable arrangement. A slide moves, when pulled by the stock. The slide pulls a cable that is wrapped around a capstan which is attached to the speed control potentiometer.

Abstract: An automatic nailing device employs a cartridge of nails which are supplied in series beneath a spring driven hammer. An electric motor charges the spring-driven hammer after each operation.
