A support apparatus for supporting a curtain rod in a horizontal orientation during installation of the curtain rod includes a post with a top end and a bottom end which is extendable and retractable. Each one of a pair of extension arms is coupled to the post adjacent to the top end and extends outwardly from the post in one of a pair of opposing directions. Each one of a pair of saddles is coupled to a distal end of an associated extension arm with respect to the post. Each saddle comprises a central member that is coupled to and extends upwardly from the associated extension arm. An upper surface of the central member extends transversely with respect to the extension arm and is configured for supporting the bar, with the pair of saddles being configured for jointly supporting the bar in a horizontal orientation.

The Overhead Drill and Anchor Press is a single mobile mechanism designed for installation of anchors into a construction surface which is overhead and out of reach of the installer. The overhead drill and anchor press is comprised of these major components: a compartmentalized cart on casters, a telescopic mast, a turret assembly, a controller, an air reservoir tank, a battery, a battery charger, and a DC power supply. The overhead drill and anchor press can execute the anchor installation sequence automatically or manually with a controller that may be hand held, or placed on the hand rail of the cart. The controller is equipped with a digital display of the turret mounted camera for monitoring the process from the ground. The entire assembly of the embodiment is designed to be manually pushed between target locations and sized to fit through standard framed door openings on a construction project.

A drill assist device comprising a first segment and a second segment telescopically coupled to one another, where the first segment further contains a gas strut. A pull down handle is configured to connect the first segment and the second segment and enable compression of the drill assist device when a worker applies pressure to the pull down handle. This compression is further assisted by at least one wire rope cable that is affixed to both the pull down handle and the second segment and may be secured via one or more wire rope clamps. The wire rope clams maybe tightened or released to extend or retract the second segment to achieve the desired height of the drill assist device.

A power tool extension handle apparatus for temporarily securing an extension handle on a power tool, the apparatus comprising a clamp assembly comprising a clamp body having a first leg and an offset second leg, the first leg having a first pivot and a first retainer and the second leg having a second retainer, the clamp body further having a handle receiver, and a strap assembly comprising a strap body having a pivot end and an opposite retainer end, the strap assembly further comprising a pivot buckle secured on the pivot end of the strap body and pivotally engaged with the first pivot for selective engagement with the first retainer and a retainer clip at the retainer end of the strap body for selective engagement with the second retainer so as to secure the strap assembly on the clamp assembly and thereby mount the apparatus on the power tool.

A robotic drilling apparatus is described which has been adapted for drilling holes in ceilings and walls on a construction site. The apparatus (100) comprises a robotic arm (110) mounted to a substructure (112), the substructure comprising a lifting mechanism arranged to lift the robotic arm to a working position, wherein the robotic arm has a base end (110a) and a movable end (110b), the base end being mounted to an upper surface (114) of the lifting mechanism and the movable end being capable of movement with respect to the base end in a three dimensional space, wherein the robotic drilling apparatus further comprises a mount (120) provided on the movable end for holding a drilling device (122) and a control unit (134) for controlling the operation of the robotic arm. The lifting mechanism preferably comprises a scissor-jack lifting platform. The robotic arm (110) and any support structure (134) for the robotic arm weighs less than 43 kg, and preferably individually weigh less than 23 kg.

A tail boom support stand assembly for a tail boom of a helicopter includes a forward structure including a forward telescopic support assembly; a webbing arrangement mounted between a first and second boom support of the forward telescopic support assembly to provide a non-rigid cradle for the tail boom; an aft structure comprising an aft telescopic support assembly; a boom support channel of the aft telescopic support assembly to provide a rigid cradle for the tail boom; and a frame structure that interconnects the forward structure and the aft structure.

An anchor setting apparatus includes an arm, a drill stop, a control actuator, a holster for carrying a drill tool, and linkage for coupling the control actuator to a speed control of the drill tool. The holster and drill stop are coupled proximate one end of the arm. The control actuator is coupled proximate another end of the arm. In various embodiments the length of the arm is variable.

The present disclosure generally relates to a drilling tool having one or more locating brackets. The locating brackets include contacts that when engaged by a workpiece or a component adjacent to a workpiece, complete a pneumatic circuits of a pneumatic switch. Completion of the pneumatic circuits facilities operation of a drill of the drilling tool, thus allowing operation of the drilling tool and/or engagement of the drill with a workpiece. The locator brackets are sized and positioned such that engagement of the contacts occurs when the drilling tool is located in a predetermined position, thereby ensuring that drilling of a hole occurs in a desired location.

A collapsible stand mainly includes a support unit including two stand legs pivotally connected together in a crossed manner and a support arm set pivotally connected to one stand leg, a positioning unit including an abutment member and a bearing member respectively mounted at one stand leg and the support art set and so configured that when the collapsible is extended out or collapsed, the abutment member is engaged with a different part of the bearing member, and a control unit mounted at one stand leg and operable to bias the abutment member, moving the abutment member into engagement or away from the bearing member. Thus, the collapsible stand has a simple structure, facilitates operation and ensures a high level of operational safety and structural stability.

The invention relates to a tool for changing the callipers in disc brakes, comprising a base movable on wheels and comprises a counterweight, characterised in that a telescopic upright having a height adjuster projects in a perpendicular direction from the base, wherein said upright comprises an inverted L-shaped body in the upper part thereof, the ends of which are joined via a plate comprising a plurality of coupling screws, and wherein said plate can pivot relative to a pivot, that is adjustable in its inclination angle by means of an inclination adjuster.
