A remote adapter for use with a lineman's hot stick that enables the lineman to mount a wide variety of power tools onto the far end of the hot stick for tasks involving high voltage equipment. The remote adapter allows the power tool to be actuated by pulling on an insulating pull-rope. The remote adapter includes a body for supporting the power tool, the body including: at least one slot for receiving at least one strap configured to strap the power tool to the body, at least one pivot hole for receiving a pivot pin, and a splined universal connector for attachment to a hot stick. The remote adapter also includes a lever arm that is pivotable with respect to the body. The lever arm includes a hole for receiving a trigger pin which actuates the power tool trigger when the insulating rope attached to an attachment feature is pulled.

A tool holder comprises a cage assembly having a pair of axially spaced hollow members with axially aligned through openings sized for axial extension of tool handles of different sizes and shapes through both of the aligned openings. A cradle member is transversely movable in opposite directions between the hollow members toward and away from respective inwardly facing wall surfaces of the hollow members for releasably clamping tool handles extending through both aligned openings against the inwardly facing wall surfaces.

A gas turbine engine yoke includes an arcuate body mountable to a stand and rotatable between an upright orientation and a horizontal orientation. The body has an inner wall spaced apart from an outer wall and first and second side walls extending between the inner and outer walls. A mounting plane of the yoke extends through the inner and outer walls and is positioned between the first and second side walls. Engine attachments are spaced apart along the inner wall and lie in the mounting plane. A method of assembling the gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

A magnetic base for coupling a drill press to a ferromagnetic workpiece includes a ferromagnetic body having spaced, substantially parallel first and second rails. Each of the first and second rails includes a flat bottom surface engageable with the ferromagnetic workpiece. A coil is positioned between the first and second rails for generating a holding force on the ferromagnetic workpiece. The coil defines a central axis that is parallel with the bottom surface of each of the first and second rails.

A balancer for tools includes a rotary drum for winding and unwinding a cable; a return spring, which is wound around the rotation axis of the drum and is coupled thereto, for the development of an elastic reaction that contrasts the unwinding of the cable and is adapted to facilitate its rewinding; an adjustment assembly for adjusting the preloading of the spring.

The adjustment assembly includes a fixed annular gear with an internal set of teeth; a circular ring with an external set of teeth, arranged inside the annular gear; and a plate which is arranged substantially coplanar inside the ring. In every angular position of the plate, the ring is kept pressed against the internal set of teeth for the transmission of motion from the plate to the ring and the consequent adjustment of the preloading of the spring.

A drilling system configured to install a tap assembly into a ship skin is disclosed. The drilling system comprises a remotely-operated underwater vehicle and a drilling assembly configured to be operated by the remotely-operated underwater vehicle. The drilling assembly comprises a frame comprising an attachment element configured to hold the drilling assembly to a surface of the ship skin. The drilling assembly further comprises a drill actuation system comprising a linear actuator attached to the frame and a rotary actuator, wherein an actuation of the linear actuator is configured to move the rotary actuator relative to the frame to install the tap assembly into the ship skin by driving the tap assembly with the rotary actuator and the linear actuator.

A panel attachment structure for a wearable article manufacturing equipment includes: lower and upper panels vertically arranged while separated up-and-down; a first processing section and a first driving section respectively attached to a front face and a back face of the lower panel; a second processing section and a second driving section respectively attached to a front face and a back face of the upper panel; a base horizontally arranged under the lower panel; and a pair of pillars raised from the base, wherein, in the structure, the lower and upper panels are removably fixed to the pillars while being supported by the respective lower and upper parts of the pillars, and each pillar has a support section, provided between the upper and lower panels and supporting the load of the upper panel.

A tool guide has a holder, a lifting mechanism and a chassis. The holder is for fixing a portable power tool, and is mounted on the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism has a propulsion system for vertically raising the holder. The chassis has two wheels on a wheel axis, a drive which is coupled to the wheels, and a steering system. The lifting mechanism is rigidly mounted on the chassis. A center of gravity sensor is designed for detecting a lateral deflection x of the center of gravity G of the lifting mechanism in relation to the wheel axis. The steering system is designed to actuate the drive to output a torque which counteracts the deflection x. The lifting mechanism can be pivoted by means of a pivot drive. An inclination controller is designed to actuate the pivot drive in such a way that the inclination is minimized.

A drill column end section assembly for a drill stand, comprising an end section (110) and a feed unit stopping element (120) arranged movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the stopping element (120), when in the first position, is arranged to prevent a drill stand feed unit from traversing past the drill column end section assembly, and, when in the second position, is arranged to allow the drill stand feed unit to traverse past the drill column end section assembly. The drill column end section assembly also comprises a positioning element (130) configured to releasably hold the stopping element (120) in the first position.

A core drill includes a housing and a battery pack attachable to the housing for powering the core drill. The core drill is configured to be operated while being carried on a drill stand. The core drill is configured to be operated independently of and detached from the drill stand. The core drill is configured to be carried by an operator's hand while the core drill is not being carried on the drill stand.
