POP-UP APPARATUS
A pop-up apparatus is provided. The pop-up apparatus includes a base unit arranged on a reference surface and having a hollow portion formed therein, a pop-up unit formed to surround the base unit and reciprocating with respect to the base unit, a connection unit arranged on an upper end of the pop-up unit, a holder unit connected to the pop-up unit by the connection unit and configured to hold an object, and a gas generation unit arranged inside the base unit and configured to generate gas, wherein internal pressure of the base unit may increase due to the gas generated from the gas generation unit and the pop-up unit may be lifted.
APPARATUS FOR AIR CONTROL TO AN INFLATABLE OBJECT LIFT
An adjustable air control apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus is designed for an efficient inflation and deflation of bladders in an article lift. The apparatus integrates blowers, manifolds, air transmission ports, and a control panel featuring a processor for precise airflow regulation. The modular design of the air transmission ports allows customization based on the size of the article lift, enhancing scalability and adaptability. A quick release clamp facilitates an easy attachment and detachment of tubings, streamlining operations. The apparatus is coated with water-resistant materials, ensuring durability and safe operation in moist environments. Additionally, a memory unit stores critical parameters, such as a maximum fluid capacity of bladders, enabling optimal performance and system monitoring. The apparatus offers a compact, reliable, and efficient solution for air management in inflatable systems.
Lifting system and related methods
Implementations of lift systems may include a lift assist device having a mast coupled to an arm. The lift assist device may be moveably coupled to a first track and a second track. Implementations of lift systems may include a lift coupled to and configured to raise the lift assist device. The first track and the second track may be coupled between the lift assist device and the lift. Implementations of lift systems may include a drive system coupled to the lift assist device. The drive system may be configured to move the lift assist device along the first track and the second track.

ADJUSTABLE PERSONNEL STAND AND METHOD OF USE
A personnel stand assembly should raise and lower substantially in unison across the length thereof in response to action of a lifting mechanism beneath a platform. The platform raises and lowers to position workers standing thereon at an ergonomic level for retrieval of parts or items moving along a conveyor assembly. The position of the platform can be based on the location of the item or a feature of the item. The lifting mechanism may utilize a plurality of interconnected pivot arms and tension rods, wherein the tension bars remain in tension so that the platform raises and lowers substantially in unison.
Telescopic device and carrying robot
A telescopic device (100) and a carrying robot (1000). The telescopic device (100) comprises: a loading base plate (10), telescopic arm assemblies (20), and a driving mechanism (30). The telescopic arm assembly (20) comprises at least two which are provided opposite to each other in a width direction of the loading base plate (10); each telescopic arm assembly (20) comprises a fixed arm (21) and a first sliding arm (22), the fixed arm (21) is mounted at the loading base plate (10), and the first sliding arm (22) is slidably provided at the inner side of the fixed arm (21). The driving mechanism (30) is used for driving the first sliding arm (22) to slide with respect to the fixed arm (21) along a length direction of the loading base plate (10). Because the telescopic device can achieve bi-directional extension and retraction, thereby improving carrying efficiency of the carrying robot.
Method and apparatus for lifting grates
Grate lifters for moving grating assemblies relative to supporting structures within which the grating assemblies are installed. A grate lifter may include a main body having a first end and a second end longitudinally opposite to the first end. A grate lifter may also include at least one hook member operably engaged with the main body at the first end and configured to engage one of at least one surface bar of a grating assembly and at least one cross member of the grating assembly. A grate lifter may also include at least one tab operably engaged with the main body at the second end and configured to engage at least one lock bar of the grating assembly. The at least one tab may be configured to be adjustable from an initial position to a bent position to engage the at least one lock bar of the grating assembly.
