Abstract: An article manipulator system which is suitable for fixed and translative mounting at work sites including on scaffold assemblies, providing for alignment compensation for scaffold non-alignment, providing for limited movement about two vertical axes, providing movement along a trolley track in a generally horizontal direction, and a gripper for grasping heavy work objects such as masonry construction units. A control handle provides for signals for raising and lowering a lift cable and signals for locking and unlocking brakes on said pivot arms and upon said trolley track.

Abstract: A rotary set on a shaft fluid power coupling which may be used on a package wrapping machine is disclosed. The coupling is shown in FIG. 14 of the drawings.The coupling has a first member having a central bore through which a rotary main shaft passes, and is characterized by a face which lies in a plane perpendicular to the shaft which has a cylindrical annular groove therein. A passage within said first member permits fluid to flow to said annular groove. The coupling has a second member which rotates with respect to said first member, and has a face which lies in a plane perpendicular to the main shaft axis of rotation. The second member also has a cylindrical annular extension which extends into said first member cylindrical annular groove. Fluid is passed from the annular space formed between said annular groove and said annular extension to a second member second face which has a fluid passage way connecting means.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for supplying thin film plastic web materials to a wrapper machine as shown and described. This apparatus includes feed stripper which assures the separation of the web material from the apparatus. The feed stripper includes a clamp feed and either a belt roller for stripping or a stripper bar for stripping the film off. An anti-static bar is used to eliminate static electricity on the web material.

Abstract: A divisible lamp assembly which contains a replaceable light source or bulb and a sealed optical system and which provides a lighting function suitable for, but not limited to, motor vehicle lighting.

Abstract: A package wrapping machine has a frame supporting a power driven rotary horizontal shaft with a turret plate member on the end of the shaft supporting two spaced tine banks; a stack of package components is clamped between the tine banks by pneumatic cylinders on the turret plate moving one tine bank toward the other. The end of a plastic film web W extending from a roll on the frame is clamped to the package components when they are rotated a predetermined number of rotations to effect the wrapping of the package components; a hot film cut-off means severs the web of plastic film from the wrapped package following the wrapping of the package and a pusher plate between the tine banks is extended by a cylinder to kick the completed package from between the tine banks, control means actuates the clamping means, rotary member, said film cut-off means and pusher plate in timed sequence.
