LASER LEVEL
A construction laser includes a base. The base includes a flat bottom surface that can be disposed on a work surface. There is a laser projector secured to the base. The laser projector includes a laser generator. The laser projector projects a laser beam onto the work surface when the flat bottom surface is disposed on the work surface. The construction laser also includes a pin. The pin secured to the base and being pivotable about an axis relative to the base.
Compact portable drill press attachment for hand held drills
This accessory, for a hand held drill, turns the drill into a portable drill press. To use this portable drill press, place the drill bit where you want it. Lean the drill forward until the base slides under the metal your drilling. The base is a lever and the drill and bit swings off it. The base holds the drill in place at a angle. When the drill is pulled straight, everything tightens up. The metal and the drill bit are pushed together with leverage. Turn the drill on and drill the hole by just holding the drill straight. This portable drill press is faster and easier to use, than drilling by hand.
JIG APPARATUS FOR USE IN FORMING HOLES IN A WORKPIECE IN A GUIDED MANNER AND A METHOD OF USE OF THE SAME
The invention relates to apparatus for use with a drill bit which is driven to rotate so as to form a hole in a workpiece with which the same is contacted. The apparatus includes guide means with which the drill bit is located and a body with which the workpiece is located and said guide means is movable with respect to the body to cause the drill bit to be advanced along a path which includes an arc portion and, as it is driven to rotate, move into the workpiece to form said hole and allow the hole to be formed in a guided manner with greater accuracy.
POWER TOOL APPARATUS AND A METHOD OF USE OF THE SAME
The current invention provides apparatus and a method for use with a drill bit to form a hole in a workpiece, said apparatus including a clamping means to clamp a workpiece in which the hole is to be formed in position with the apparatus, a drill bit holder assembly and drive means for rotating the drill bit and moving the same into the workpiece so as to drill the hole at a required angle and depth into the workpiece. Typically the depth of the hole is set in relation to the thickness of the workpiece which is clamped in position at that time and the apparatus includes a first part which is held by a first hand of the user and movable by the user with respect to a second part which is held by a second hand of the user and the relative movement is translated into movement of the drill bit holder to move the rotating drill bit into the workpiece.
Stuffing box rebuild systems, apparatus, and methods
Stuffing box rebuild systems including a first socket precision-tooled to couple with a top seat of the stuffing box, a second socket precision-tooled to couple with a bottom seat of the stuffing box, and a rebuild table including one or more receptacles for receiving and retaining the stuffing box during the rebuild. In some examples, the stuffing box rebuild system includes a top wrench precision-tooled to couple with a top seat of the stuffing box and a bottom wrench precision-tooled to couple with a bottom seat of the stuffing box. In some further examples, the top wrench is precision-tooled to couple to the first socket and the bottom wrench is precision-tooled to couple to the second socket.
STOWABLE WORKSTATION AND ROLLING TOOLBOX DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD
The present disclosure relates to a stowable workstation and a work system. The stowable workstation includes a tabletop with a work surface and a stowing surface, along with a plurality of receiving apertures. A plurality of legs are removably coupled to the tabletop in a supporting position for use and a stowed position for storage. The work system includes the stowable workstation and a rolling toolbox with at least one wheel, a hollow body, and a lid with a recess designed to receive the stowable workstation when not in use. Methods for using the stowable workstation and the work system are also disclosed, including steps for transitioning the workstation between its supporting and stowed positions, and for integrating the workstation with the rolling toolbox to facilitate transportation and storage. Advantageously, the stowable workstation addresses the need for a versatile, portable, and easily stowable workstation with an integrated tool storage capability.
Pneumatic mechanism
A pneumatic mechanism includes: a casing having a main body and a base seat; a drive mechanism disposed in the main body; a first air bypass disposed in the main body, a rear end of the first air bypass communicating with the drive mechanism; a second air bypass having a rear end positioned on the base seat; at least one airflow passage disposed on the base seat, one end of which communicating with the second air bypass; at least one sucker disposed on the base seat; and at least one air-sucking passage disposed between the base seat and the sucker. One end of the air-sucking passage communicates with the air chamber of the sucker, the other end communicates with the airflow passage. The pneumatic mechanism is powered by one single power source to operate and produce sucking force.
Hand drill lifting and actuating apparatus
A hand drill lifting and actuating apparatus includes a post has a bottom end and a top end. The post is telescopic and includes an upper section and a lower section. A mount is attached to the top end and releasably secures a drill to the post. An actuator is mounted on the post and engages a switch on the drill to turn the drill on. A fulcrum is attached to the lower section of the post. A handle has a first end and a second end. The first end is pivotally coupled to the upper section. The handle is pivotally coupled to the fulcrum between the first and second ends such that the upper section is lifted upwardly when the second end is urged downwardly. The mount is thereby urged upwardly when the second end is pulled downwardly.
Systems and methods for control of foreign object debris
In an example, a clamp foot for a clamp assembly includes a housing having a distal end for engaging a workpiece, an aperture in the distal end of the housing, and a cavity in the housing extending proximally from the aperture. The clamp foot also includes a flapper in the cavity and adjacent to the distal end. The clamp foot further includes a pneumatic port in the cavity configured to direct a pneumatic force from a pneumatic source to the flapper, and a vacuum port in the cavity for coupling the cavity to a vacuum source. Responsive to the pneumatic force, the flapper is movable within the cavity to separate debris from the workpiece. The vacuum port is configured to remove from the cavity, via a vacuum force from the vacuum source, the debris separated from the workpiece by the flapper.
Tool-holder fixed to a workpiece
A tool-holder including: a first rail and a second rail that are parallel and each of which includes first fixing elements configured for fixing said rail to the surface, a driving slide including first guiding elements configured to slide over the first rail, a drive system configured to move the driving slide along the first rail and a first fixing system, a driven slide including second guiding elements configured to provide a sliding connection with the second rail and a second fixing system, an assembly bar carrying a first complementary fixing system cooperating with the first fixing system to form a removable fixing between them, a second complementary fixing system intended to cooperate with the second fixing system to form a removable fixing between them, and a carriage having a first assembly system, and a movement system on which the carriage is fixed and that is configured to move said carriage along the assembly bar, and a support module including second fixing elements for fixing the tool and a second assembly system intended to cooperate with the first assembly system to form a removable fixing between them.
