I saw a youtube video a few days ago;
2825 is a homemade power can crusher. You drop the beer/soda can into the trough, the cycling ram crushes it and once crushed it falls through the gap in the end of the trough into the drum below.
Correct, I did a screen capture on the video that Dennis posted.
That's what I was thinking but I haven't been able to find another one to prove it.
I agree with the person who said that for the last can he should have used one that was full and unopened.
Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
The photobucket larger images are still out of reach for me, even with the latest FireFox for my system. (19.0.2, FWIW.) Probably PhotoBucket wants my system to run a program, and if it is an Intel chip based program, I *can't* run it on an UltraSPARC in any way
-- even if I were willing to do so. :-)
2821) Looks to me like a tool for forming a pair of fingers on either side of a gap. The first photographed one puts a 'V' shape into the fingers.The one in Figure 3 appears to simply twist them to an angle.
The notch in the thumbnut obviously has a function, since it has a letter assigned in figures 1 and 2. Perhaps to allow a steel rod or bar to give more leverage when closing it.
The second photo (with only on clamp space, and no notch in the wingnut) seems to be the twist instead of "form a V" style, too.
If there were not sharp projections on the indenters in all shown, I would have thought that the first was for clamping onto two round rods, and serving as some kind of stop..
I would think that the notch in the wingnut was for sliding on some third rod, if I were not for the fact that it would be at varying angles depending on the thickness of what is clamped.
2822) I'll bet that the wheel's diameter is actually 11.459" -- so it will roll out precisely one yard per revolutions. The various metal tabs appear to be for some mechanism counting the rotations to measure distance. Looks as though it provides power to a pattern of loops or capacitive electrodes similar to what is found inside the handle of modern digital calipers.2823) Inverted bulb planting tongs?
Likely to clean out the ID of a hole -- either removing dirt, or other debris.
2824) Some sort of curry comb for a lawn?Or for scraping clean a slot of some sort.
2825) No other views?The box to the left near the far end is a typical weatherproof electrical connection box. Looks like only a single wire going into it -- and a connection to the near end on the outside.
Perhaps some kind of siren or horn for vehicles?
2826) This one looks as though it is intended to slide along a surface (perhaps with some kind of edge guide on the bottom), and the knurled wheel to the right near end rolls on the surface turning the leadscrew. This moves the eyepiece (which should be in the dark hole, though it is hard to tell with the phtotos). The eyepiece should have a hairline in it, which is viewed against the measuring scale, reading how far the knurled roller has moved.Are the three scales different systems (e.g. metric vs Imperial vs some other system), or are they just various convenient divisions of one scale? (say fractional vs decimal inch divisions.)
If the knurled roller does not project enough through the bottom to roll on a surface, then I would presume that there is a view through the optical barrel of the item to something distant. Hmm ... perhaps it is a gunsight for a large field piece? In that case, the scales might be for different projectile/powder combinations -- especially if it is an elevation angle measuring device.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy, DoN.
Still not sure about two of them but the rest of the answers have been posted:

Thanks, I'll forward this on to the owner of it.
In case you haven't found these patents yet:
A couple generations ago, they were probably totally obvious to anyone living at that time. Amazing, how much wisdom gets lost.

Thanks Leon, I'll send these to the person who submitted the photos.
