A hybrid clamp is configurable as a bar clamp or a dog clamp, where first and second clamp members may be associated with a clamp bar or may be separated and connected to other supports for use as dog clamps. A clamping sawhorse is configured to mount the hybrid clamp for use as a bar clamp or as a dog clamp in conjunction with the sawhorse, such as including apertures for accepting either the clamp bar or mounting portions of the first and second clamps.

A handling device for servicing a piston with a small end attached to the piston via a piston pin, having a basic frame, a receiving device that is pivotable or tiltable relative to the basic frame for the piston removed from an internal combustion engine, an actuator for pivoting or tilting the receiving device relative to the basic frame, and a locking device via which the receiving device is lockable on the basic frame in different pivot positions or tilting positions.

A clamp mount and workpiece alignment apparatus is provided. Clamp including a workpiece alignment apparatus is provided. A method of clamping is provided. The clamp mount and workpiece alignment apparatus is used to mount to a support surface of a workpiece support and for positioning at least one workpiece relative to the clamp while the workpiece is supported on the support surface is provided. The apparatus includes a base, a base mount, a workpiece alignment guide, a clamp mount and an adjustable interface between the base and workpiece alignment guide.

An adjustable support device can include a main body; a pin housed within the main body that is vertically adjustable and has external threading; a vertical protrusion that extends from a top face of the main body such that the vertical protrusion extends further upward past the side of the main body; and a wheel cap attached to the top of the main body and having internal threading, wherein the wheel cap and the pin are threadedly engaged. The adjustable support device can include a plug positioned below the main body; and a shoulder screw configured to removably connect the plug to the main body. The shoulder screw can be insertable through the center of the plug and can be configured to threadedly connect to an interior of the main body. The adjustable support device can include a cap grip interconnected with external surfaces of the wheel cap.

Described herein is an arm supporting exoskeleton including a proximal link, a distal link, a torque generator, and a bracket. The distal link is configured to rotate relative to the proximal link about a first rotational axis forming a first angle between the proximal link and the distal link. The torque generator is configured to provide a torque profile between the proximal link and the distal link as a function of the first angle, thereby producing a supporting force onto the upper arm of the person. The bracket is coupled to one of the proximal link or the distal link. A location of the bracket is adjustable to adjust an effective length of the torque generator to adjust an amplitude of the torque profile provided by the torque generator thereby adjusting the supporting force onto the upper arm of the person.

The present invention relates to a novel vise that operates in both a threaded and unthreaded mode. The vise includes a fixed block, a movable head, a rod, a ratchet mechanism, a threaded mechanism and a toggle mechanism. In the threaded mode, the movable head may only be moved by rotating the rod. In the unthreaded mode, the movable head may only be moved by applying force to the movable head in the desired direction of movement.

A sawhorse support attachment device for attaching supports for construction use includes a stand unit. The stand unit comprises a pair of bases, a plurality of stands, and a pair of chains. Each of the bases has a hollow interior that defines a space for an insert to be nested within. A pair of stands is attached to each of the bases at an angle to create a sawhorse assembly when in an open position. A pair of chains connects each of the pair of stands to each other. The chains provide supplemental stability to the stand unit when attaching elements. A support has a bracket with a pair of inserts. The pair of inserts is nested into the hollow interior of the pair of bases when attaching to the stand unit. A platform having the bracket and pair of inserts can attach to the stand unit.
