An apparatus, system and method to assist in the painting of doors, specifically for a compact rack for door painting that holds one or more doors by attaching a strip end to the top and bottom edges of one or more doors, then mounting these to end arms on stands that allow the clear and easy rotation of said door(s), followed by the stacking of the doors for drying.

A work support includes a pair of support legs, a first elongated rail and a second elongated rail each extending between and being coupled to the pair of support legs and spaced apart from one another, and an extendable workpiece support comprising a third elongated rail and a material support supported by the third elongated rail. The material support is movable laterally and axially relative to the third elongated rail. The third elongated rail is axially movable between extended and retracted positions.

A bit-removal assembly includes a first ring coupled to an output shaft for co-rotation therewith, a second ring supported on the lower retaining ring of the output shaft, a frusto-conical surface on at least one of the first or second rings, and a wedge positioned between the first and second rings and engaging with the frusto-conical surface. A collar defines a cam surface located radially outward of the wedge. The collar is movable between a locked position, in which the cam surface is engaged with the wedge to displace the wedge radially inward on the frusto-conical surface to separate the second ring from the first ring, and a released position, in which the cam surface is misaligned with the wedge to permit the wedge to move radially outward on the frusto-conical surface. A biasing member urges the collar towards the locked position.

A drill stand comprises a base, a mast defining a longitudinal axis and pivotably coupled to the base, a support bracket moveably coupled to the mast and pivotably coupled to the base, and a carriage moveably coupled to the mast. The carriage is configured to selectively receive a drill and is selectively removable from the mast in a tool-free manner.

A tool stand includes a table having a tool support surface and a plurality of legs movable relative to the table to define a first configuration and a second configuration of the tool stand. The plurality of legs includes a first leg and a second leg, each pivotable about a first axis, and the plurality of legs further includes a third leg and a fourth leg, each pivotable about a second axis parallel to the first axis. The tool stand further includes a base frame coupled to the third and fourth legs, and a latch mechanism including a latch element movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch mechanism is configured to inhibit movement of each of the legs relative to the table when the latch element is in the latched position and the tool stand is in the first configuration.

A torque transfer device is provided to transfer torque from a torque tool to a torque limiter device, the torque transfer device comprising a torque limiter connection member adapted for connection to the torque limiter device; a first joint; a second joint; and a tool connection member adapted for connection to the torque tool, wherein the first joint and the second joint are configured to lock responsive to activation of the torque tool to transfer a reaction torque generated by the torque tool to the torque limiter device, and wherein the first joint and the second joint are configured to unlock responsive to deactivation of the torque tool to enable rotation between the torque tool and the torque limiter device along a first axis and a second axis different from the first axis.

A stand or fixture for supporting a mower cutting unit having a base frame with side members interconnected with at least 2 cross members. A cradle supports stable engagement with a roller of a mower cutting unit, and is secured to and extends upward from and between the side members. The cradle is parallel to the cross members, and positioned above the side members, supported on and secured to riser members. Each of the riser members is secured to a side member. A support member is adjustably secured at a desired location between cross members, and has a top portion extending upwardly away from the base frame, and above the cradle. The support member includes aligned openings above the cradle for receiving and securing a support pin supporting a support chain for engaging and suspending the mower cutting unit supported within the cradle, for accessing components of the mower cutting unit for service.

A saw stand includes a table having a saw support surface, a plurality of legs pivotally coupled to the table, the legs movable relative to the table to define a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration of the saw stand, and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism includes a latch element movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch mechanism is configured to inhibit movement of each of the legs relative to the table when the latch element is in the latched position and the saw stand is in the third configuration.

A modular work station includes a platform supporting a stem, a power tool coupled to the stem and supported for movement relative to the stem, and a table removably coupled to the platform. The table includes a first working surface and a second working surface opposite the first working surface. The table is further selectively coupled to the platform in a first orientation and a second orientation. The first working surface faces toward the power tool while the table is in the first orientation, and the second working surface faces toward the power tool while the table is in the second orientation.

An industrial device including a portable tool and a support for this tool. The tool is provided with a motor driving a mechanism in rotation, an electrical energy store to power the tool during operation and a controller to control the motor. The support includes a line, one extremity of which is affixed to the tool, a receiving element defining a location for the grasping of the tool and a winding apparatus of said line exerting a vertical tension to the tool so as to lighten its weight when it is no longer at its grasping location. The industrial device further includes a transmission of an electrical energy to charge the energy store when the tool is positioned in the receiving element. The tool is light weight tool while at the same time highly maneuverable in charging supercapacitors or a battery only when the tool is on the support.
