COMBINATION OF SUPPORT POST ASSEMBLY AND TOOLS SUPPORTED THEREBY

摘要

A post assembly for providing a selected tool member from a plurality of tool members and using the tool member in a machine operation is provided. The assembly includes a support post rotatable about its longitudinal axis and extending vertically during use from a bottom end to a top end thereof. Tool members each have a first end section and a second end section and each are pivotally attached at their first end section to th e post in the vicinity of the top end. Each tool member is pivotable from a first position used for storage to a working position where the selected tool member extends radially outwardly from the support post. A linearly movable actuating member is able to selectively pivot any one of the tool members from the first position to the working position. A bearing arrangement supports the support post for rotation about its longitudinal axis and a power drive is operatively connected to a lower section of the post in order to rotate same about its longitudinal axis.
