The rotating handle having a pushing plate, and the first rotary shaft has two driving gears. The reel includes a seat, a second rotary shaft, two driven gears, and a chain roller. The body includes a first connecting portion with plural holes, and the seat has a second connecting portion and a plurality of apertures. The reel and the body are movably coupled together, and the second connecting portion of the reel is aligned and overlapped with the first connecting portion of the body. At least one pin is inserted into at least one of the plural holes of the first connecting portion and the plurality of apertures of the second connecting portion.

Abstract: A tie-down device includes a frame, a strap, a reeling unit, a driving unit and a gear box. The frame includes two walls extending from a base. The reeling unit includes a reel rotationally supported on the walls for reeling the strap. The driving unit is supported on the first wall. The gearbox connects the driving unit to the reeling unit.

Abstract: A tool and method for removing a film from a surface is provided, wherein the tool can include a frame, a handle operably coupled to the frame, a number of wheels operably coupled to the frame, a cylinder rotatably coupled to the frame, an arm rotatably coupled to the frame, and a number of separating devices operably coupled to the arm. In some embodiments, the wheels can rotate about one or more axes parallel to the surface. The cylinder, which collects the removed film, rotates about an axis that can also be parallel to the surface. The arm can rotate about an axis that can also be parallel to the surface.

Abstract: The invention concerns a lining element intended to be applied to a support block of a segment of a segmented mold for tires, the lining element being intended to form tread patterns on part of a tire tread, characterized in that it comprises an outer shell (30) delimiting an inner volume and a core (34) inside the shell.

Abstract: A portable pulling tool is provided including an integrally formed one-piece gear case for positioning all of the gear train components. The gear train includes a combination of helical gears and a differential planetary gear unit in a unique configuration. A motor control system is provided to automatically shut off the motor when a predetermined current load is detected. A multi-segment LED is provided to indicate to the user the amount of load that is being applied.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus to stretch elastic and non-elastic bands to be applied to furniture frames, characterized in that it provides for:

Abstract: A winch assembly (10) including a winch shaft (12) adapted for rotation about a first axis (14) and a substantially right angled drive transferring mechanism (20) having a drive input (24) coupled to a tool engagement device (32) and drive output (26) coupled to the winch shaft (12). The tool engagement device (32) is adapted for rotation about a second axis (34) extending substantially radially from the first axis (14). Rotation of the tool engagement device (32) causes rotation of the winch shaft (12).

Abstract: A trailer landing gear lifting apparatus (100) for raising and lowering landing gear (10) of a trailer (30) has a motor (136) fitted to a motor plate (134) which is affixed to a modified conventional gear housing cover (130) of a trailer landing gear assembly (10). The motor (136) has a motor gear (154) affixed to a motor shaft (156) by a roll pin (158). The motor gear (154) engages a drive low gear (142) of a generally conventional gear system (136). A spacer on a drive shaft 138 locks the gear system (136) such that the drive low gear (142) engages a driven low gear (146). A key switch (172) controls a pair of solenoids (170) to selectively provide power to the motor (136) for raising and lowering the legs (14) of the landing gear assembly (10).

Abstract: An apparatus for tightening elastic and non-elastic bands designed for fitting to the frames of pieces of furniture includes a tensioner consisting of a roll arranged for rotation about its own axis. The roll has a pressure member mounted in spaced relationship with the roll so as to permit insertion of bands therebetween. The supplied band is folded backwardly over the top of the pressure member to be fastened to the frame of the piece of furniture. During a first rotation of the roll, the pressure member applies, by friction, a slight tractive force on the band, while permitting it to run with respect to the roll. A subsequent rotation of the roll brings the backwardly folded portion of the band to bear on that portion of the band supplied from the reel, which lies on the least one portion of the surface of the roll, whereby running of the band is then prevented by friction such that a further rotation of the roll causes tightening of the band.

Abstract: A motor with output shaft is coupled to an input shaft of a planetary gear system inside a case which in turn is disposed in the winch drive. The output shaft of the transmission gear traverses the other end of the case and is connected to a web plate of the winch drum by means of a spline shaft. On one end of the winch drum, the casing for the transmission gear and the shield of the motor are interconnected and connected to a principle frame and the winch drum is journaled thereat through roller bearings using cylindrical surfaces of the case and the drum directly as races. The winch drum is journaled at the other end through appropriate bearings in the principle carrier frame.
