Abstract: An apparatus for handling parts having a table disposed in a generally horizontal plane, a plurality of first and second part carriers spaced angularly around the upper side of said table, and means for continuously rotating said table about its upright axis. Parts are automatically loaded onto the first part carriers as the table rotates. Subsequently, transfer mechanisms associated with each pair of first and second part carriers cooperate with transfer cams mounted adjacent the table to turnover and transfer parts from the first part carriers to the second part carriers. Parts are then automatically unloaded from the second part carriers as the table rotates.

Abstract: A spring-loaded lock assembly for a window or other closure member includes a pair of elongated locking rods carried on the closure member for longitudinal movement to permit the outer ends of the rods to be advanced and retracted relative to cavities in the frame for the closure member. A handle receives the inner ends of the rods and advances and retracts the rods in the longitudinal direction in response to rotational movement of the handle to lock and unlock the closure member. A unitary base member fastened to the closure member supports the handle for rotational movement and forms two pairs of integral stops for limiting the rotational movement of the handle in opposite directions about its axis. Biasing means are carried on the locking rods for urging the locking rods toward the respective stops. The base member includes means for holding the inner ends of the locking rods in the handle while permitting handle rotation.
