20090095786 | Fastening tool holding bracket - One example of the invention is a holding bracket for attachment to a fastening tool, the fastening tool having a barrel for firing a fastener, the tool defining a major axis, the holding bracket for holding overlapping portions of two members to be fastened to one another. An example holding bracket comprises a mounting portion configured for attachment to the tool and an extension portion extending from the mounting portion. A holding arm is attached to the extension portion and spaced apart from the mounting portion in the direction of the tool major axis to define a gap between the holding arm and the mounting portion, the gap for holding the overlapping portions of the two members for insertion of a fastener ejected from the barrel. | 04-16-2009 |
20090095789 | MOVEABLE FASTENING TOOL HOLDING BRACKET - A movable holding bracket is provided for attachment to a fastening tool having a nosepiece for driving a fastener, the holding bracket configured for holding overlapping portions of two members to be fastened to one another, the bracket including a fixed portion configured for attachment to a workpiece contact element of the tool, and a movable portion movably attached to said fixed portion. A holding arm is attached to the movable portion and defines a gap configured for holding the overlapping portions of the two members for insertion of a fastener driven from the tool nosepiece. | 04-16-2009 |
20100051666 | ROTARY FASTENER MAGAZINE - A fastener driving tool is provided, including a housing substantially enclosing a power source including a reciprocating piston with a driver blade. A nosepiece is associated with the housing and is configured for receiving the driver blade and for sequentially receiving fasteners for engagement with the driver blade for driving into a workpiece. A magazine is configured for retaining a supply of the fasteners and for sequentially feeding the fasteners to the nosepiece, the magazine storing a plurality of elongate strips of the fasteners, and being configured for rotating about a longitudinal axis of the magazine for providing access of fasteners in each fastener strip to the nosepiece. | 03-04-2010 |
20100089254 | FOOD SLICER AND ASSOCIATED FOOD PRODUCT PUSHER - A food slicer includes a support member having a base portion and an upstanding portion. A rotatable cutting blade is secured to the upstanding portion for slicing food product. A food product table is mounted for movement past the cutting blade for holding product while being sliced by the cutting blade. An adjustable gage plate enables slice thickness adjustment. A pusher assembly is configured to provided gravity induced movement of the pusher assembly along the slide rod toward the gage plate. | 04-15-2010 |
20100243672 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREVENTING LIQUID DISPENSATION FROM AN AEROSOL SPRAY CAN - An aerosol spray can is provided. The aerosol spray can includes but is not limited to a housing forming a storage chamber, an initial amount of chemical stored in a compressed liquid state within the storage chamber, a valve assembly attached to the housing, and an extension tube connected with the valve assembly at a first end and extending into the storage chamber at a second end. The initial amount of chemical forms a top surface. The general direction of the top surface is perpendicular to the direction of gravity. The valve assembly including a stem forming a central passage through which the chemical dispenses from the storage chamber. The second end of the extension tube remains a distance away from the top surface of the initial amount of chemical regardless of the position of the aerosol spray can. | 09-30-2010 |
20100243761 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREVENTING LIQUID DISPENSATION FROM AN AEROSOL SPRAY CAN - An aerosol spray can is provided. The aerosol spray can includes but is not limited to a housing, an initial amount of a chemical within the housing in both liquid and gaseous states, a valve assembly attached to the housing, an extension tube connected with the valve assembly, and a flotation device connected with the extension tube. The chemical in a liquid state forms a top surface above which there is the chemical in a gaseous state. The extension tube is connected with the valve assembly at a first end and extends into the housing at a second end. The second end of the extension tube forms an opening. The flotation device floats on the chemical in a liquid state. | 09-30-2010 |
20110180632 | LIQUID SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR A GRAVITY FEED SPRAY DEVICE - A system is provided for venting a container used to supply a liquid to a spray coating device. The system may include a container cover having a buffer chamber, a liquid conduit configured to extend into a liquid container, a first vent conduit that extends into the buffer chamber, and a second vent conduit that extends from the buffer chamber to the liquid container. | 07-28-2011 |
20140209589 | GUIDED COMPONENT EXTRACTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A component extraction system is designed to remove smoke and airborne components, such as particulate, from a metal working or other application. The system may be compatible with a cart-type base unit or may be incorporated into a fixed or semi-fixed installation that uses a nozzle disposed on a carriage to remove workspace air (e.g., containing smoke and airborne components) away from the metal working application. The carriage may travel along a guide rail disposed adjacent to the metal working application in order to place the nozzle near the source of the metal working components. Further, the carriage may include a positioning system, utilizing sensors, to automatically adjust the location of the nozzle proximate the airborne component source. | 07-31-2014 |
