Insert press and related method
An insert press that has a threaded shaft with a distal end is disclosed. An insert driver is disposed at the distal end of the threaded shaft. The insert press also includes a press housing that provides a bore through which the threaded shaft extends. The bore is transformable from a first condition in which the threaded shaft is threadably translatable in the bore to a second condition in which the threaded shaft is non-threadably translatable in the bore.
Apparatus for suspending items from a mantel or shelf
A decorative accessory holder for suspending decorations such as Christmas ornaments, stockings, lights, garland and the like from a mantel or shelf. The holder comprises a telescoping rod assembly with a clamping mechanism and end leg spring members adapted to fit securely over the upper surface of a mantel under tension, with a gap between the rod assembly and the upper surface of the mantel for inserting one or more detachable decoration holders such as hooks.
Clamping Tool
A clamping tool of the type including a C-shaped body and a drive screw with a threaded portion in mechanical communication with a threaded receiver in one end of the C-shaped body and including at least two threaded receivers in one end of the C-shaped body, each adapted to separately and independently receive and support the threaded portion of the drive screw. A backstop may be included with a backstop pin extending from a surface of the backstop and at least two non-collinear backstop bushings in a second end of the C-shaped body. The at least two non-collinear backstop bushings may each be adapted to receive and support the backstop pin of the backstop, thereby providing more than one position of the backstop on the C-shaped body.
CLAMPING APPARATUS AND METHOD
Disclosed herein is a clamping apparatus that includes an upper jaw structure having a hinge end and a clamp end, a lower jaw structure having a hinge end and a clamp end, and a hinge located at the hinge ends of the upper and lower jaw structures, the hinge providing for rotation of upper jaw structure with respect to the lower jaw structure. The clamping apparatus includes an elongated element threadably attached to the first and second upper jaw structures between the hinge end and the clamp end of each of the first and second upper jaw structures, wherein rotation of the elongated element in a first direction causes the clamp end of the upper jaw structure to move closer to the clamp end of the lower jaw structure. The elongated element includes an end configured to receive a tool configured to facilitate the rotation of the elongated element.
Chainsaw Push Vise
A vise for securing a chainsaw in a fixed position for field repairs and resharpening the cutting elements on the chain of a chainsaw. The vise is one piece body of generally rectangular shape with two upwardly projecting legs spaced wide enough to accept a chainsaw bar with one leg having a threaded hole and the opposing leg has a raised area. Protruding from the body downward is a tapered tang with serrated/ridges in the tapered side tang, the vise is then pushed into a piece of wood that has a slot cut into it with a chainsaw. the push vise provides a versatile device not limiting the user to just one surface, is safe to carry on your person and is easily and quickly anchored and removed.
Adjustable Torque Clamping Fixture
Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an adjustable torque clamping fixture, including a clamping body driven by a threaded rod to move and used for clamping an object. The threaded rods implements an axial movement thereof by means of screw thread transmission. An adjustable torque handle is configured at the rear end of the threaded rod. The maximum clamping force is adjusted by the adjustable torque handle. When the maximum clamping force is attained, continued application of a torque on the threaded rod by the handle results in slippage, so that no larger clamping force can be applied, thus implementing precision clamping, and preventing the clamped object from being damaged by an excessive torque. The adjustable torque clamping fixture overcomes the shortcoming of a manual clamping fixture known to inventors of which the magnitude of the clamping force is difficult to determine during use.
Quick grip pocket hole jig system and method
A quick grip pocket hole jig system is presented having a support section having a clamp support, an end stop and a back stop. A clamping assembly is connected to the support section having a clamping rod that extends through the clamp support. A drill guide carrier having a drill guide assembly is connected to the clamping rod on a forward side of the clamp support. A clamp body having a trigger and a release mechanism is connected to the clamping rod on a rearward side of the clamp support. The clamp body is a quick grip clamp body that facilitates quick gripping of a workpiece positioned within the support section. The clamping assembly includes a return spring and a release mechanism such that when the release mechanism is actuated the drill guide carrier and the drill guide assembly are automatically moved to a non-clamping position.
Ball joint press tool with coupleable adapters
A ball joint press tool having at least one spring-plunger engageable with at least one adapter to releasably couple the adapter to the tool allowing for single handed placement of the tool regardless of orientation of the tool. The ball joint press tool has at least one adapter-receiving aperture and the spring-plunger has an adapter-engagement head, such as a ball, spring biased to at least partially extend into the adapter-receiving aperture on the tool. An adapter having a connecting projection defining a spring-plunger engaging detent, such as a groove, is insertable into the adapter-receiving aperture wherein the adapter-engagement head of the spring-plunger engages with the spring-plunger engaging detent.
Clamp Locking Mechanism
A clamp release mechanism is provided. The clamp includes a body, a shaft slideably coupled to the body, a fixed jaw, and a moveable jaw coupled to the shaft. A locking component actuates between a locked position and an unlocked position. When in the locked position, the locking component biases the shaft to remain stationary with respect to the body. The clamp includes a securing component pivotally coupled to the locking component, and a biasing element that biases the securing components towards the shaft.
Attachment jig and attachment method
An attachment jig includes a pressing member having a positioning portion configured to position a target component in a direction where an attachment target surface of a fixing target member extends, and a pressing portion configured to press the target component positioned by the positioning portion toward the attachment target surface, and a detachment member having a first abutting portion configured to come into contact with the attachment target surface, the first support surface, and the second support surface, and a second abutting portion configured to come into contact with the pressing member on the attachment target surface, is the detachment member being configured to cause the pressing member to be positioned in a direction where the attachment target surface extends with respect to the first support surface and the second support surface, and detachable from the pressing member.
