Patent ID: 7765923

Claim:
A motorized press device comprising: (a) a housing divided into a top half that can slide up and down in a bottom half, wherein the housing has a bottom panel and a top panel; (b) a first vertical bar and a second vertical bar that each extend from the bottom panel through the top panel of the housing, wherein the first vertical bar and second vertical bar are generally parallel to each other; (c) a horizontal bar that connects a top end of the first vertical bar with a top end of the second vertical bar; (d) a first pressure arm and a second pressure arm, each extending downwardly from the horizontal bar towards the top panel of the housing, wherein a pressure ring is removably attached to both a bottom end of the first pressure arm and a bottom end of the second pressure arm; (e) an electrical jack disposed on the bottom panel of the housing, a motor and gear box operatively connected to the electrical jack allows for the expansion of the electrical jack upward toward the top panel of the housing; and (f) a shaft support tube attached to the electrical jack, the shaft support tube is adapted to receive a transmission shaft, when the electrical jack is expanded upwardly the transmission shaft traverses the top surface of the housing through a shaft opening; wherein the pressure ring is aligned over a return spring of a drum of the transmission shaft, the electrical jack pushes the transmission shaft and drum up against the pressure ring which causes the pressure ring to compress the return spring so as to reveal a snap ring which can be removed or replaced.
