11890708 · 2024-02-06 · ·

A tool head assembly for crimping, the assembly including an internal cam that spins freely on a stationary shaft in one direction and locks onto the shaft in the other direction. That cam rotates against the moving slide forcing to move away from the stationary shaft opening a gap between rollers. A controller is programmed to have the drive rotate in one direction for a set time period, then reverse the rotation to begin the crimp process. The start rotation of the drive rotates the cam and opens the roller gap. The forward rotation allows the cam to swing, closing the gap and rotating the rollers around a seal. The tool eliminates the air cylinder and related pneumatic hoses and valve making the head smaller and allows a controller to communicate with any OEM production system to verify the tool has been used and was used correctly.

20190329389 · 2019-10-31 ·

A method and apparatus for removal of tile leveling clips from a newly laid tile floor is provided. Each tile leveling clip has a base member embedded in thin-set mortar and a vertical planar member extending upwardly from a center region of the base member in a gap between adjacent tiles on a surface. The apparatus includes a clip engaging member formed from a strong, rigid material and having a substantially planar leading member. A roller having a diameter is provided and is positioned in the clip engaging member such that the outer surface of the roller extends a distance beyond a lower edge of the leading member that is less than the distance the vertical planar member of the tile leveling clip extends above the adjacent tiles. An elongated handle is provided having a first end affixed to the clip engaging member and a second end configured for gripping by a user. The user pushes on the handle causing the roller to roll across the floor and the leading member to engage the vertical planar member of the tile leveling clip until it separates from the base member.

Hand tool

Method and apparatus for an electrically powered hand tool which can be used to install a spline into the groove on a frame member of a screened-in porch or window screen wherein the tool uses a reciprocating roller to press the screen and spline into the groove of the frame member so that the screen can be secured to the frame member. The hand tool has a handle serving as a housing for an electric motor with a rotating output shaft connecting to a transmission for creating reciprocating motion of a drive shaft having a distal end supporting a rotatable wheel adapted to compress the spline in the groove containing a portion of the screen while the handle is moved along the spline in the groove by a user.

MOUNTING DEVICE FOR USE IN A STRIP ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT IN A STRIP ASSEMBLY

A mounting device is useable with a strip arrangement comprising a profile strip arrangeable or arranged at an edge area of a window pane of a motor vehicle and comprising a transport protection strip, wherein the transport protection strip is arranged at least with a portion of its cross section in a receiving area of the profile strip. The mounting device has a guide-in area configured to guide a free end of the strip arrangement into the mounting device, and a separation area configured to separate the transport protection strip from the profile strip.

Tool for fastening a listing bead to a fastener strip

A listing bead fastening tool has a body that defines a guiding recess shaped to receive a listing bead, and a guide rib extending from the body. The guide rib has a neck and a head that is connected to the body of the tool by the neck. The head has a width to allow it to pass through a retention channel defined by opposing rows of fastener elements extending from a base of a fastener strip to which the listing bead is to be fastened. The guiding recess of the body of the tool defines a listing bead insertion path that is angled with respect to the retention channel. Moving the tool along the retention channel causes the listing bead, which is retained within the guiding recess, to be progressively inserted into the retention channel and retained between the rows of fastener elements.

MAT ROLLER
