The reciprocal frame assembly is comprised of a pair of horizontal arms (4) with an electrical switch (11) secured to each arm and a sleeve (5) pivoted over each switch (11). The reciprocal frame (2) reciprocates in or about a fixed vertical frame (1). The frame (2) is raised and lowered by an hydraulic cylinder (8) which is powered by an electrically driven pump (24).
