  • Patent number: 7044415
    Abstract: A winder insert for a fish tape reel fits into a center opening of the fish tape reel and engages an inner periphery of the reel. The insert has an attachment member, which can be a multi-sided socket for example, that is engaged by a removable handle or lever member to rotate the insert and in turn the reel with respect to a reel handle grasped by the user so as to wind and/or unwind fish tape in the reel. In one preferred form, a roller clutch is pressed into a center opening of the insert about a drive shaft that is rotated by the handle. The handle and shaft can be rotated in one direction to engage the clutch and thereby rotate the reel. Rotating the winder handle in the opposite direction overruns the clutch so that the handle can ratchet back to the original position without unwinding the reel. The winder insert removably snaps onto the reel.

  • Patent number: 4588057
    Abstract: The horizontally rotatable upper section of a mobile crane is swingable in opposite directions by a speed reducer which is driven by a selectively operable reversible variable speed hydraulic motor. A fail-safe spring-loaded hydraulic brake located on the speed reducer operates, when needed, to slow or stop or prevent rotation of the upper section. A hydraulic control system which supplies pressurized hydraulic fluid to operate the motor and the brake includes a pedal-operated master brake cylinder for selectively applying the brake when the motor is in operation. The brake comprises a cylinder housing, an outer brake piston axially movable through a hole in the housing, and an inner brake piston axially movable in a bore in the outer brake piston. Each piston has an extended position and a retracted position.
