I need a crash course in industrial design

I have a nice home shop and I know how to use it. My problem is that when I'm designing things, I feel like I'm always reinventing the wheel, and usually doing a worse job. Googling stuff is always really hard because I don't know the right term for what I'm looking for.

It's a little hard to explain exactly what I need. But for example recently I have needed to design
* bearing blocks
* a tilting table mechanism that is spring loaded to stay level
* a table that can be raised/lowered with a crank
I guess basically I need to know some design principles and recipes for mechanical systems. Gears, pulleys, belts, bearings, and so forth

I know that these problems were basically solved more than a 100 years ago.

Are there good online resources for this kind of thing? Books? Videos?
