The present invention relates to a lightweight device that is able to collect relatively lightweight objects of various sizes and shapes through the use of a vacuum combined with a mechanical snare. Devices of the invention can be operated with a single hand. The invention provides improved means of collecting small objects, dust, dirt, or other small debris without requiring excessive bending or stooping by the user.

Method and apparatus for assembling, with fasteners, components of a structure having an outboard side, an inboard side, and a supporting frame. The components are placed together on the frame. An electromagnet having a core with multiple openings is positioned on the outboard side. A magnetically attractive member is placed against the inboard side opposite and aligned with the electromagnet. When activated, the electromagnet is attracted towards the magnetically attractive member and the two hold the components together. Multiple drill members pass through the openings in the core of the electromagnet and multiple openings are drilled simultaneously through the components. Subsequently, multiple rivets or huck bolts are simultaneously inserted into the drilled openings.

Disclosed is a digital display suction cup, comprising a suction cup and a handle structure, wherein the two ends of the handle structure are provided with a switch button and a pressure relief valve, and the handle structure is provided with a battery and a vacuum electric pump; the vacuum electric pump is connected to the suction cup through an air pipe; the lower part of the battery end of the handle structure is provided with an air pressure sensor and a display screen; the air pressure sensor, display screen, switch button, battery, and electric vacuum pump are electrically connected. The new type of digital display suction cup adopts button operation and automatic vacuuming, which can monitor and maintain negative pressure in real time, and the power and negative pressure data can be observed; the suction cups can also be used in combination.

Disclosed is a new type of multifunctional electric suction cup, comprising a base, a shell, a bracket, a protective case, a display screen, a charging port, an extension switch interface, and a debugging button, wherein the upper surface of the base is provided with a shell, a bracket, and a protective case that are fixedly connected; the protective case is provided with a switch, and the top of the shell is provided with an external outlet connected to the atmosphere; the upper surface of the base is provided with a single-chip microcomputer, a power assembly, a battery pack, a display screen, a charging port, an extension switch interface, and a debugging button; the bottom of the base is provided with an air intake, and the air inlet of the power assembly is connected to the air intake through a conduit.

Apparatus for use in handling windscreens for example for installation in a vehicle, includes a windscreen anchor assembly comprising a windscreen anchor device and a support arm extending away from the windscreen anchor device. A mount assembly is provided for supporting the windscreen anchor assembly. The mount assembly includes a mount structure for engaging with the support arm such that the support arm can slide bodily in its longitudinal direction with respect to the mount structure.

A light bulb changing tool comprising a holding structure configured to engage a light bulb, the holding structure configured along an axis, the motorized holding structure configured to actuate in a first direction and a second direction. The light bulb changing tool further includes a force generator configured to selectively force the light bulb against the holding structure and a control unit configured to remotely communicate with the holding structure and the force generator, wherein the electronic control unit sends control signals to drive the holding structure to selectively move in the first direction and the second direction and/or to activate the force generator, The tool further comprises an arm member for positioning the holding structure in a desired configuration to engage the light bulb, wherein the arm member is coupled to the holding structure. The holding structure further comprises a rotator mechanism configured to rotate the holding structure in the first direction about the axis.

Apparatus and method for applying pre-molded seal caps to fasteners. The apparatus includes an installation tool and a disposable cap holding fixture. The installation tool includes a body and a handle. A plunger can pass through the body and handle. A disposable cap holding fixture can be connected to an end of the body of the installation tool. The disposable cap holding fixture can grip a surface of a pre-molded seal cap. The pre-molded seal cap can then be placed on a fastener and the disposable cap holding fixture can be rotated to rotate the cap to cover the fastener with uncured sealant in the cap. The body and handle can be rotated by an operator or the body can rotate about the handle and actuation of the plunger can cause the body and the cap holding fixture to rotate. The plunger can then dislodge the cap from the fixture.

A pivoting vacuum fitting support vacuum post enables fittings to be quickly manually re-oriented during set up, break down, storage, and shipping of a vacuum support or other device using the vacuum post. A segmented core pivotally supports an outer fitting pivoting support sleeve that supports a pair of segregated and independently operable vacuum ports typically to supply vacuum independently to a base of a vacuum support to hold it in place, and to an upper work piece vacuum hold down support. Incorporation of a spacer that can be supplied in varying heights enables use of the vacuum post in a variety of vacuum supports of varying height.

A winder unit is provided for use with cutting wire in cutting out a vehicle glazing panel. The winder unit includes first and second winder spools spaced apart from one another, where the winder spools are configured to wind the cutting wire. The winder unit further includes a suction mount for mounting the winder unit, wherein the suction mount comprises a single suction device only. And the winder unit further includes at least one wire guide element spaced from the winder spools, wherein the at least one wire guide element is mounted with respect to the winder unit so as to be adjustable in position or orientation with respect to at least one of the suction mount and the winder spools.
