TELESCOPIC DEVICE
A telescopic device includes a first shaft telescopically coupled to a second shaft. The first shaft defines a hole and an orifice. The second shaft defines a plurality of engaging portions. The second shaft inserts in the hole. The second shaft is movable with respect to the first shaft to a position in which one of the plurality of engaging portions is aligned with the orifice. A positioning device is coupled to the first and the second shafts. The positioning device includes a control being movable and a fastener being movable actuated by the control. The fastener is movable with respect to the control. The fastener inserts and is movable in the orifice. The first shaft is adapted to be unmovably positioned with respect to the second shaft at various positions by the positioning device.
Flexible Shaft Guide Tube
A system for treating a bone includes an insertion device for an intramedullary nail. A first end includes a channel extending therethrough so that, when the insertion device is coupled to an intramedullary nail, the channel of the device is aligned with and in communication with a channel of the nail. The system also includes a guide sleeve extending from a proximal end to a distal end and including a first bend extending along a portion of a length thereof so that a longitudinal axis of a distal portion of the sleeve is angled with respect to a longitudinal axis of a remaining portion of the sleeve. In an operative position, the distal end of the sleeve is inserted into the channel of the device and the remaining portion of the sleeve extends toward a lateral side of a bone being treated.
Multiple Entry Angle Adaptor with Locator for Fastener Installation Tool
An adaptor for a fastener driver assembly employs a bi-positionable angle guide assembly mounted to a head having an entry reference surface defining an opening for a fastener. The adaptor provides a proper location and entry angle for the fastener for implementing various structural connections. A pivotal angle guide has a pair of reference engagement edges functionally configured to engage either an upper horizontal member or a lower horizontal member. A locator having a location reference is mounted to the guide assembly. In one mode, the reference edges, together with the location reference, define a proper entry location and normal angle for connecting a horizontal member, which may be either an upper plate or a lower plate, to a rim board or other structural member. The selected adaptor position is achieved by securing the adaptor in one of two stable angular positions relative to the drive axis of the fastener driver assembly. In a second mode, the implemented entry angle is oblique to the horizontal member. The adaptor also includes at least one flush indicator to indicate that the proper flush position of a reference surface is achieved. The locator is removably mounted to the pivotal angle guide and mounts a variably positionable position detector with a measurement scale.
Fastener installation guide
An installation guide for installing a screw at a predetermined angle relative to a reference plane is disclosed. The installation guide includes a housing configured for releasable connection to a bit. The housing includes a channel being sized and shaped to receive the bit therein for retaining the housing on the bit. The channel allows the bit to rotate relative to the housing. An indicator is supported by the housing and is configured for movement relative to the housing to indicate an angle of the housing relative to a reference plane.
Selectively Flexible Extension Tool
A tool assembly includes a first selectively flexible tool including a first plurality of sequentially arranged links moveable between a slacked position and a tensioned position; and a second selectively flexible tool including a second plurality of sequentially arranged links moveable between a slacked position and a tensioned position, the second plurality of sequentially arranged links moveable over or through the first plurality of sequentially arranged links.
BORESCOPE PLUG SYSTEM
A borescope plug system includes a housing, a driver, and a spring. The housing includes a first housing end and a second housing end. The housing further includes a longitudinally extending centerline extending between the first housing end and the second housing end. The driver is disposed at least partially within the housing along the longitudinally extending centerline and includes a first driver end and a second driver end. The spring is disposed within the housing and couples the housing to the driver. The driver is configured to move within the housing, along the longitudinally extending centerline, to engage the first driver end with a borescope plug of a borescope plug port, and to install or remove the borescope plug from the borescope plug port based on a rotation of the driver about the longitudinally extending centerline.
ADJUSTABLE LENGTH HANDLE
An adjustable length handle having a first handle member, a tubular shaped second handle member and an adjusting mechanism interconnecting the two handle members to shorten or lengthen the handle length. The second handle member has an interior channel that receives the first handle member. An inner surface of the channel is in opposing relation to an outer surface of the first handle member. The adjusting mechanism comprises a longitudinally disposed length adjusting slot and one or more laterally disposed engaging slots in the inner surface that receive an engaging member which extends outward from the outer surface of the first handle member. When in the length adjusting slot, the engaging member allows linear movement of one handle member relative to the other handle member to adjust the handle length. When in one of the engaging slots, the engaging member prevents such linear movement to fix the handle length.
TORQUE TRANSFERRING DEVICE FOR USE WITH A POWER TOOL
The present specification relates to a torque transferring device for power tools, comprising a first portion comprising a first engaging structure arranged at a front end of the first portion and adapted to engage a corresponding mating structure to transfer torque thereto, and a second portion comprising a second engaging structure for connection to the output shaft of a power tool arranged at a rear end portion of the second portion, wherein the second engaging portion comprises an open cavity adapted to receive the output shaft of a power tool. The device further comprising a pin arranged at least partly in the open cavity, wherein the pin is arranged to extend in an axial direction and further arranged to, in use, engage a hole formed in the power tool output shaft.
HOPPER TRAILER OPENER
According to one or more embodiments, a hand-held, portable opener for a hopper trailer and method of opening is described. The hopper trailer opener comprises a base tool assembly coupled with an extension shaft assembly and can be adapted for use with a variety of different trailer opening mechanisms.
ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY TO BE CONNECTED WITH A HAND TOOL
An attachment assembly for being connected with a hand tool includes an active unit, a passive unit and a switching shaft. The active unit includes a front wheel, a middle wheel and a rear wheel are simultaneously rotatably connected in sequence. The passive unit includes a first wheel and a second wheel are simultaneously rotatably connected. The switching shaft pivotably connects the active unit and the passive unit, and switches the active unit and the passive unit being rotatable or not.
