Modular tool
Provided is a modular tool for installing a platform into a tower section of a wind turbine tower, comprising a first body element, a second body element, wherein each body element has a first base plate, on which the tower section rests in use of the modular tool, and a second base plate, which rests on a foundation in use of the modular tool, wherein the base plates are spaced apart from each other and are arranged parallel to each other, and at least one connecting beam that detachable connects the body elements to each other and that defines a width of a gap between the body elements. Due to the fact that the at least one connecting beam detachable connects the body elements to each other, the modular tool can be easily adapted to different tower diameters by replacing the at least one connecting beam.

Expandable locating pin
A locating pin for positioning one or more workpieces on a mounting member is provided. The locating pin includes at least one cam being radially moveable between an extended position and a retracted position. The at least one cam engages the workpiece while in the extended position to hold the workpiece in place. The at least one cam is spaced from the workpiece while in the retracted position to allow the workpiece to be positioned on, or removed from the locating pin.
Residual material separation device
A residual material separation device, including: a loading platform, configured to support a display panel that includes a substrate layer, a circuit layer, and residual material at a lateral side of the circuit layer, where the loading platform is used to contact the circuit layer of the display panel and avoid the residual material; a fixing portion, configured to contact the substrate layer of the display panel to fix the display panel to the loading platform; and a pressing portion disposed in proximity to a side of the loading platform to apply a pressing force to a part of the substrate layer adjacent to the residual material, where the residual material is allowed to be separated from the display panel under the action of the pressing force and freely fall off.

Tool pallet apparatus
An apparatus includes a base portion, a workbench, and a compartment system. The base portion includes a first side, a second side, and an opening between the first side and the second side, the opening being sized to accommodate a lift to elevate the apparatus and move the apparatus from a first location to a second location. The workbench portion is disposed on an opposite end of the apparatus as the base portion, the workbench portion including a first side and a second side. The compartment system is disposed between the base portion and the workbench portion and comprising a plurality of support members coupled to the first side of the base portion and second side of the workbench portion. The compartment system further comprises at least one of a vertical divider and a horizonal divider to accommodate a worksite equipment. The plurality of support members support the workbench portion.
Sturdy convertible worktable
The present invention discloses a convertible worktable convertible between a storage configuration and an assembled use configuration. The worktable comprises a tabletop has a top surface and a bottom surface, a top frame fixed to the bottom surface of the tabletop and a bottom frame being spaced apart and coaxial to the top frame. The bottom frame having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The worktable further comprises a plurality of legs fastened to the top frame and extends beyond and in contact with the bottom frame. A fastener assembly detachably fastens the plurality of legs to the top frame and the bottom frame and defines an assembled use configuration. The fastener assembly allows detachment of the plurality of legs from the top and bottom frame, fastens the plurality of legs and the bottom frame alongside the top frame, and defines a storage configuration.
Platform extension mechanism
A platform extension mechanism includes at least a bumper, a rolling bearing, an adjuster, and an axle. The axle has a first end surface and a second end surface. The axle is elongated along a first axis. The axle includes interior wall portions that define a slot from the first end surface to the second end surface. The axle is structured to receive the bumper and the adjuster via the slot. The axle is structured to support the bumper and the adjuster in relation to a platform and a structural channel. The axle includes a mounting portion and a shaft portion. The mounting portion has a flange with a first side and a second side. The first side of the flange is mountable to a sidewall portion of the platform. The shaft portion protrudes outward from the second side of the flange. The shaft portion has a peripheral portion that is structured to support the rolling bearing at a designated location along the first axis and enable the rolling bearing to move along the structural channel. The shaft portion is structured to support the bumper and the rolling bearing in a coaxial arrangement. The adjuster is aligned with the bumper and configured to adjust a position of the bumper along the first axis of the axle.
Panel with fixture retaining features and modular assemblies made using multiple panels
An apparatus, having: a panel (100) comprising a top surface (102), a bottom surface (104), and a side surface (106) spanning the top and bottom surfaces; plural upper retaining slots (110), each upper retaining slot recessed into the panel through the top surface, extending parallel to the top surface, and opening through the side surface in at least one location (112), wherein each upper retaining slot comprises a trapezoidal shape; and a dog hole (122) extending through the panel from the top surface to the bottom surface.
RIGID TEMPORARY REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURE
A resilient component for attachment to a rigid temporary reinforcement structure, and a rigid temporary reinforcement structure for attachment to a resilient component are disclosed. The temporary reinforcement structure having one or more datum attachment features for releasably attaching the temporary reinforcement structure to corresponding datum attachment features of the resilient component, where the datum attachment features and the datum features of the resilient component have a common datum, and the temporary reinforcement structure is configured to rigidly support the resilient component during assembly of the resilient component to a structural assembly.
