Patent ID: 8468864

Claim:
An adjustment mechanism kit for use in adjusting the elevational position of components in a machine, comprising: A. an elongate shaft assembly, comprising: i. at least one primary shaft segment; and ii. at least one secondary shaft segment capable of being coupled to said primary shaft segment, said secondary shaft segment including a first gear element disposed thereon; B. at least one projection shaft assembly including a projection shaft and a second gear element disposed on a proximal end portion thereof, said second gear element capable of being coupled to said first gear element whereby rotation of said elongate shaft assembly translates into rotation of said projection shaft, and wherein said projection shaft assembly includes a nut disposed on said projection shaft for coupling the components thereto, and a clamp block assembly securable about said nut and including: a first clamp including at least one threaded first hole; and a second clamp including at least one second hole alignable with a respective said at least one first hole when in an assembled state; and at least one first fastener for extending into the aligned said first and second holes; C. a mounting rail fastenable to said clamp block assembly with at least one second fastener; D. a shaft support frame for accommodating said secondary shaft segment and the proximal end portion of said projection shaft; and E. a frame elevation compensator for interfacing said shaft support frame to the machine.
