Abstract: A battery movement, storage, and charging system for large size batteries used in lift trucks includes spaced, parallel storage racks, each of which have multiple storage and charging bays. A battery transport tower is positioned in an aisle between the storage racks and is moveable horizontally between the two rows of racks. The tower includes an extendable fork lift mounted which may rotate around the axis of the tower as well as move vertically upwardly or downwardly on the tower. A battery exchanger loads a discharged battery from a lift truck, places it on a pallet and then transfers the pallet and battery to a transfer bay in a storage rack where the tower forklift moves a pallet and battery to a selected charging bay.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing and control system having dispensing nozzles positioned for dispensing into a receptacle on a weight-sensing device, where all dispensing nozzles are respectively coupled to liquid pumps for delivering liquids from different containers to the nozzles, and a control computer connected to the weight-sensing device and to the pumps and dispensing nozzles to control the flow rate and delivery of liquids.

Abstract: A typewriter cabinet includes a fixed bottom, fixed sidewalls and a rear wall extending vertically from the base. A moveable front wall is hingeably connected to the base. A pair of hinged top plates serve as a top for the typewriter cabinet when the typewriter is recessed, but swing outward and serve as part of the top when the typewriter is raised and in use. A moveable shelf for holding the typewriter includes a rear backrest which supports the typewriter when it is recessed. The moveable shelf is hinged to the top of the moveable front wall and folds against the inside surface of the moveable front wall. A rotatable pivot plate has three pivot points. The first pivot point is connected to a connecting point on an edge of the moveable shelf. The second pivot is connected to a pin extending from the sidewalls. The third point is connected by means of a spring to an anchor point on the base.
