Sizing tool for belt
A tool for identifying a correct belt for a system of pulleys from a plurality of prefabricated belts having different lengths is disclosed. The tool may include a belt track attached to a first end portion of a measurement belt. The measurement belt may be wrapped around the system of pulleys. An opposed second end portion of the measurement belt may be disposed adjacent to the belt track which may include a reference indicator. The reference indicator will be aligned to one of a plurality of measurement markings on the second end portion which indicates the correct belt to order from among the plurality of prefabricated belts.
Synthetic turf seam integration template system and methods of use
A synthetic turf seam integration template system and method is provided that includes a template having a planar base with a perpendicularly joined positioner. The planar base is configured with a longitudinal cutting edge with a predetermined curvature and an opposing longitudinal non-cutting edge. The positioner, which aids in moving the template, is attached to the non-cutting edge. Variations of the predetermined curvature patterns are disclosed. An optional connector allows connection of two templates to create a longer template for usage on longer seams. Also disclosed are methods of using the seam integration tool in creating an undetectable seam in synthetic turf.
Stud checker and drapery rod hanging template kit

Transparent template and positioning device with overlapping lines forming a halo effect
An improved transparent template and positioning device for aligning material to be stitched, marked or cut, the template including two overlapping lines with one or more being translucent and one or more using fluorescent pigment that will overlap their colors to create a third color forming an outline or “halo” effect of enhanced visibility, enabling the darker more precise opaque lines on the ruler to be easily seen or found on light and dark materials. The translucent lines will allow the user to see through the template to the actual material that he or she is working with in order to provide improved viewing and more accurate alignment.
Method for producing a jig for tubes having bent sections, and resulting jig
The invention relates to a method for producing a jig (M) for the thermal forming and/or inspection of a tube (T) of neutral axis (x) and comprising a bent sections (c1-c3) connected by straight sections (d2-d3). The method consists in producing n individual jigs (M1-M3) each comprising a section of duct (18, 18′) of planar neutral axis (χ) for guiding a tube segment formed by one of the n bent sections of the tube (T) and by a predetermined length of each of the straight sections (d1-d4) extending from said bent section, said predetermined length corresponding to either all or part of the length of the straight section; and assembling the n individual jigs (M1-M3) with the sections of guide duct in the continuation of one another and with a relative orientation of the individual jigs adapted to provide a relative orientation between the n planes defined by the neutral axis (χ) of the n sections of guide duct (18, 18′) that is identical to the relative orientation between the n bending planes (P1, P2, P3) defined by the n bent sections (c1-c3) of the tube (T).

Gutter marking template set
A gutter marking template set includes a right-handed gutter marking template and a left-handed gutter marking template, each including a template frame having a first template frame surface and a second template frame surface. The template frame may include a main frame member having a first main frame member end and a second main frame member end. A first frame member may be carried by the main frame member and may have a first frame member surface extending between and at a cut angle with respect to the first template frame surface and the second template frame surface. A second frame member may be carried by the main frame member in spaced-apart relationship to the first frame member. The second frame member may have a second frame member surface extending between and at the cut angle with respect to the first template frame surface and the second template frame surface and parallel to the first frame member surface. A first frame notch may be provided at the first main frame member end of the main frame member. A second frame notch may be provided at the second main frame member end of the main frame member. A spanning frame member may extend between the first frame member and the second frame member and in spaced-apart relationship to the main frame member.
BUILDING INSPECTION AND MEASUREMENT DEVICE
An inspection and measurement device includes a body defining a first planar face within a first bounded area, a first reference feature disposed on the first planar face within the first bounded area and corresponding with a first measurable parameter for structural inspection, and a second reference feature disposed on the first planar face within the first bounded area and corresponding with a second measurable parameter for structural inspection. The first and second reference features are positioned within the first bounded area for placement adjacent an element bearing the respective one of the first and second measurable parameters, and the first and second reference features overlap within the first bounded area in at least one direction.
Fastening device and fastening method
A fastening device includes first to third rotary sensors (position detecting unit) which are provided in a support arm and detect a position of a nut runner (fastening tool), and a main controller (controlling unit) which has a storage unit for storing a plurality of fastening positions of a chain cover, and drives the nut runner when a detection result from the first to third rotary sensors coincides with position information of the fastening position of the chain cover stored by the storage unit. Therefore, during a fastening work, an operator does not need to pull a trigger to drive and rotate the nut runner, thus reducing a burden on the operator during the fastening work.
