An encoder reset device and method that allows for an encoder to be reset and/or recharged at virtually any location. A reset device and method of the present invention also allows the reset/charging process to take place simultaneously with the removal of an encoder-equipped device that is being replaced, as a device of the present invention does not require the use of an encoder-equipped device controller to perform the reset/charging process.

Encoder reset device and method

The disclosed apparatus incorporates a generally rectangular framework for assembling a set of parallel rods defining adjacent grooves. The apparatus receives and stores a supply of nails in a container. The nails emerge from a storage container and drop onto a sorting device. The nails fall into grooves sized to receive the point but not the head. The head thus hangs, and the nail slides to the end of the groove. The apparatus simultaneously and consecutively drop nails, always in the same position.

Nail separator apparatus

An apparatus which incorporates a generally rectangular framework for receiving a supply of sheet plywood for cutting into individual strips, with each strip converted into a carpet-tacking strip. The apparatus receives and stores a supply of sheet plywood which is individually cut into a plurality of similar or identical strips. Each strip has a bevel on one edge. A number of nails, preferably in two files, are driven through the strip so that the point emerges from the backside. These nails provide a gripping means for engaging the carpet. Additionally, a number of nails for nailing the strips to the floor are inserted, at least partially, through the board from the opposite side. The apparatus simultaneously and consecutively forms a plurality of strips.
