Portable Article Lifter, Separator, and Compressor

A portable article lifter, separator, and compressor capable moving a variety of articles. The core components are a frame, a motor, a power source, and a set of interchangeable end effectors suitable for moving different types of articles. This device is used to lift an article, separate multiple articles from each other, and compress one or more articles. Multiple devices can operate collaboratively to move a large and/or heavy article via daisy chaining the devices using synchronization modules. A transmission between the motor and the end effector controls the speed and the torque of the end effector. The device further provides an ON/Off module, a frame base, a handle, a level, wheels and rollers, and a work light.

Drive Mechanism
20240084878 · 2024-03-14 ·

A drive mechanism includes a stacked motor assembly. The stacked motor assembly includes a first motor, a first rotatable driver member rotationally fixed to the first motor, a second motor vertically spaced from the first motor, and a second rotatable driver member rotationally fixed to the second motor. The drive mechanism also includes an output shaft spaced from the first motor and the second motor and a flexible drive member rotatably coupling the first rotatable driver member, the second rotatable driver member, and the output shaft together such that rotation of the first rotatable drive member by the first motor and rotation of the second rotatable driver member by the second motor impart rotational torque to the output shaft. The drive mechanism further includes an output belt fixed to the output shaft and configured to be wound about the output shaft upon rotation of the output shaft.

An automatic vehicle jack assembly includes a plurality of scissor jacks that is each mounted to a bottom side of a vehicle. Each of the scissor jacks is positioned adjacent to a respective one of a plurality of wheels on the vehicle for lifting the respective wheel upwardly from a support surface. Conversely, each of the scissor jacks is actuatable into a retracted position thereby facilitating the respective wheel to roll along the support surface. A control panel is positioned within a cab of the vehicle such that the control panel is accessible to a driver of the vehicle. The control panel is in communication with each of the scissor jacks thereby facilitating the control panel to independently or simultaneously actuate each of the scissor jacks between the extended position or the retracted position.
