A material trimming system used with a table saw having a rotationally driven arbor, a table with a specialized tray to retain an article to be trimmed, the system including a core structure with a core rotational axis that attaches to the arbor that has an arbor rotational axis. The system also includes a peripheral ring that is about a ring rotational axis, wherein the peripheral ring removably engages the core structure, wherein the peripheral ring includes an outer peripheral element that is operational to trim a material of the article to a selected configuration. In addition, included in the system has a cover having a cover rotational axis, the cover having a mechanism to be removably attachable to the core structure that is operational to removably retain the peripheral ring to the core structure, wherein the arbor, core, ring, and cover rotational axes are all coincident to one another.

Material trimming system

A manufacturing apparatus for assembling a container including a sleeve, a bowl cover with a cavity, a closed state clamshell with a hinge having a mating protrusion, and a flexible strip having a primary and secondary end portions that are affixed with adhesive between the cover and clamshell. The manufacturing apparatus includes a base, a spindle, with primary and secondary radially extending platforms, respectively supporting primary and secondary cradles with the bowl and clamshell disposed therebetween the cradles that are rotated. The manufacturing apparatus also includes a guide slidably engaged to the base, wherein the guide directs the strip to be helically wound about the clamshell and cover with a base slide mounted adhesive nozzle that affixes the primary and secondary end portions of the strip to the cover and clamshell with a head that cuts and holds the strip with the head slidably engaged to the base.

Manufacturing apparatus

A dispenser apparatus for placement in an aircraft to eject an article into a selected external environment, the dispenser apparatus including a long open tray in the form of a bench ejector having a seat and a back, the bench having a primary end portion and an opposing secondary end portion, wherein the bench cradles the article, also included is an arm and finger on the secondary end portion that momentarily retains the article while a reciprocating beam on the primary end portion ejects the article from the bench in a rotating or spinning manner via the beam adding impact force to one side of the article while the arm and finger retain one side of the article to impart the spinning rotation to the article as it is ejected from the bench ejector.

Dispenser apparatus

A container apparatus for exposing an article to an external environment, the apparatus including a sidewall with an interior having an inner surface, the sidewall terminating in a first margin and an opposing second margin. The container apparatus also includes a capsule having an outer periphery and an inner void holding the article, the outer periphery is slidably engaged to the sidewall inner surface, the capsule having a split boundary separating the capsule into a plurality of partial capsule elements. The capsule having a closed state with the partial capsule elements being adjacent at the boundary while slidably engaged to the sidewall with the void separated from the environment and the capsule being able to have an open state without the slidable engagement as the partial capsule elements are separated at the boundary with the void open to the environment, thus exposing the article to the environment.

Container apparatus

A wheeled apparatus includes a base having sides, a front, rear, upper surface and lower surface, with a pair of leaves forming sides of the base and pivotally connected thereto and a pair of gates forming the front and rear and pivotally connected to the base and leaves. A handle subassembly and a leg subassembly are connected to the base, with a wheel subassembly connected to the leg subassembly. The apparatus is configurable in a cart mode, a table mode with gates and leaves oriented in a flat horizontal plane, a dolly mode with leaves and gates connected to form a cart but with leg subassembly lowered closer to the ground relative to the cart mode, and a stowage mode, where the leaves and gates collapse into the base, the handle subassembly retracts into the base, and the leg subassembly collapses up into the lower surface of the base.

Multi-functional collapsible wheeled apparatus

A steerable carriage apparatus for manually transporting a payload across a surface, that includes frame multiple end portions that include rotating elements rotationally attached to each of the frame multiple end portions, with the rotating elements forming contacts on the surface. Additionally, the frame multiple end portions have a pivotal attachment to one another being operational to steer the carriage, with the pivotal attachment having a pivotal axis forming an angle to the surface, the pivotal attachment having the option of selectively controlling the urging, dampening, or locking of the pivotal movement.
