Abstract: A picture frame stand has a pedestal and tubular sleeve vertically mounted from the pedestal. An open vertical slot extends along a substantial length of the sleeve which houses a pole mounted for vertical movement in the sleeve. A screw is anchored near the lower end of the pole and is positioned for slideable movement in the slot and a nut is mounted on this screw for holding the pole in a fixed position in the slot when the desired height of the pole is reached. Accordingly, the adjustment of the pole in the sleeve is obtained by loosening the nut and moving the screw up and down in the slot. A peg is provided on the upper end of the pole adapted to receive a picture hanger. The hanger has a general horseshoe configuration terminated in a plate which is mounted on a picture frame. The plate has a horizontal slot therein with the screw positioned in the slot permitting horizontal movement of the hanger on the frame for providing an adjustment.

Abstract: Known machines for the machining of crankshafts, in which the machining units for the machining of the crankshaft are supported and moved by operating crankshafts, are not adjustable to different offset angles of crankshafts to be machined. Therefore a machine is proposed for the machining of crankshafts with means for the guiding and taking along of a crankshaft to be machined and with at least two movable devices for the uptake of machining tools or systems, the devices being supported and moved by crankpins of two driven operating crankshafts consisting of several cranks and mounted on main bearing pins, where the individual cranks of each operating crankshaft are fixable relatively to each other and comprise two independent main bearing pins each and are mounted thereon for rotation relative to each other.
