Abstract: A coil processor is provided for performing processing operations on coiled sheet-like material, such as sheet metal, plastics or other materials. The coil processor uncoils and straightens the material before performing desired operations on the material and transferring it for packaging, shipping or further processing. Various features improve the overall efficiency of the coil processor, including its ability to move material forward and backward through the unit without slowing down the overall operation, as well as the versatility of its mobile tool carriers, which can perform multiple complex processing applications, including cutting, punching, stamping, bending or others. Additionally, processing efficiency may be further enhanced by the use of a computer, which determines the most efficient sequence for performing processing operations, and controls the coil processor's various features to process material in that sequence.

Abstract: An animal decoy apparatus made from a plastic shelled gamebird decoy converted to an animated decoy whereas the two wing-like appendages move up and down in a flapping motion. An electric actuator is mounted to the frame within the chamber formed by the body of the decoy. The electric actuator is battery powered. When the actuator is energized the actuator plunger moves downward forcing the distal ends of the appendages down also causing the proximal ends of the appendages upward. When the power supply is interrupted the plunger mechanism is forced upward by the weight of the appendages causing the proximal ends to come down. Between the battery and the actuator is an intermittant device causing an interruption in power causing the appendages to move up and down simulating the wing flapping movements of a gamebird.
