20100071515 | Nail set - A nail set includes a nail to be driven by a nail gun into a workpiece, and a stub screw rod to be fastened to the workpiece with the nail. The stub screw rod has an axial through hole approximately equal to the diameter of the shank of the nail for the passing of the nail so that when the nail is driven into the workpiece, the stub screw rod is carried by the nail and stopped between the workpiece and the head of the nail. | 03-25-2010 |
20100132514 | Adjustable multiple nail holder-extension - An improved nail holder that allows the user to safely and comfortably hold a multiplicity of nails while extending his or her reach into hard-to-reach or otherwise inaccessible places. The present invention represents a significant improvement over those inventions disclosed in the prior art in that it: (1) permits the user to hold and position a multiplicity of nails at the same time, (2) provides the user with an ergonomic handle that is comfortable, efficient and safe to hold, (3) extends the reach of the user beyond arm's length and into hard-to-reach or otherwise inaccessible places, and (4) moves the nails held therein horizontally and/or vertically so as to permit operation in additional hard-to-reach or otherwise inaccessible places. | 06-03-2010 |
20100307294 | MOUNTING DEVICE WITH AT LEAST ONE CAPTIVE MOUNTING SCREW - In a mounting device with at least one mounting aperture that is situated in a flange and penetrated by a mounting screw, it is proposed to provide the flange with at least one slot on the edge of the mounting aperture. Furthermore, the diameter of the mounting aperture is smaller than the outside diameter of the screw thread of the mounting screw. Consequently, the elastic material properties of the flange are utilized in a particularly advantageous fashion because a certain force needs to be exerted in order to screw the mounting screw into the mounting aperture or out of the mounting aperture. This ensures that the mounting screw also cannot readily detach from the mounting aperture during long-lasting vibrations, i.e., it is captively held in the mounting aperture. This is particularly important if the mounting device comprises a grounding element that forms part of a connector and features the aforementioned flange, wherein said grounding element is designed for being snapped into an insulating member and for being transported to the assembly into a connector housing together with this insulating member. | 12-09-2010 |

In an example embodiment of the invention, the aperture includes a first diameter proximate the punch tube and a second, larger diameter radially outside of the first diameter. The retainer may be a ball, the resilient ring may be an O-ring, and the fastener may be a stud or nut. | 06-23-2011 |
20110174117 | Fastener holder for starting a threaded fastner into a difficult-to-access hole - A fastener holder is configured for starting into a threaded hole an elongated threaded fastener having a threaded fastener stem. The fastener holder includes an arm that extends longitudinally along an arm axis and has a distal end from which depend first and second opposed fastener-gripping members that are alternatively displaceable along a first plane toward and away from one another between a fastener-gripping position and a fastener-releasing position. The fastener-gripping members are oriented relative to the arm such that the first plane is orthogonal to the arm axis. A fastener-gripping position is such that the fastener-gripping members are biased toward one another and a fastener stem situated between the fastener-gripping members is retained by a constrictive force exerted by the fastener-gripping members on the fastener stem. A fastener-releasing position is such that, relative to the same fastener, the fastener-gripping members are spread farther apart than in a fastener-gripping position in order to facilitate the lateral release of the fastener stem from the fastener-gripping members. | 07-21-2011 |
