| 20090134371 | Curb box lifter - A curb box lifter comprises a frame that includes crossbar members, through holes, or partially drilled openings as points of engagement for a pry bar for the purpose of upwardly lifting water main curb boxes. The proximal end of the curb box lifter includes a pipe threaded region enabling it to be spun into a receiving female threaded curb box lid, usually situated in the ground. A pry bar introduced into the curb box lifter at its points of engagement, in conjunction with a block like device used a leverage point, enables the upward motion of the curb box as a downward force is employed to the pry bar distal end. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20100001240 | Illuminative Jack - An illuminative jack is provided, having a plurality of lights recessed within a top plate to provide illumination directed to a lifting location. The jack includes transparent material positioned disposed below the contact surface of the top plate and disposed above the plurality of lights to protect the lights, while allowing light to emanate on the lifting location. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100171084 | ASSEMBLY FOR SETTING, REMOVING AND MAINTAINING DOORS - The present invention relates to an assembly having in combination an apparatus and a smooth and rigid plane on which the apparatus moves. The assembly allows, when activated by the foot of the user acting as a drive and directive force, the door to be raised and movements from bottom to top, front to back, right to left and vice versa to be executed, while the hands of the user no longer carry the load and are free to intervene. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100224841 | LIFT CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR LIFTING DEVICES AND LIFTING DEVICES COMPRISING THE SAME - A control system for a lifting device and a lifting device comprising the same are disclosed. The control system includes a control unit comprising a processor with a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and having computer readable and executable instructions. A battery is electrically coupled to the control unit in addition to at least one indicator. The processor executes the computer readable and executable instructions to: determine an operating characteristic of the lifting device and an operating time of the lifting device as the lifting device is actuated; determine an accumulated load-time parameter for the lifting device based on the operating characteristic and the operating time; store the accumulated load-time parameter in the memory of the lift control system; compare the accumulated load-time parameter to a service constant; and provide an indication the indicator that a lift structural component requires service based on the comparison. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20130001487 | INSULATED PINCH BAR - Electrically-insulated utility devices and methods for using the same are described. In particular, this application discusses systems and methods for making and using electrically insulated pinch bars. Generally, each insulated pinch bar includes a pinch bar, which has a longitudinal body, a distal tip and a proximal head, and an electrically insulative material disposed circumferentially about a portion of the longitudinal body of the pinch bar. In some embodiments, the electrically insulative material also abuts the proximal head of the pinch bar. The insulated pinch bar can therefore provide safety for the pinch bar user or operator when the pinch bar is used in a variety of utility or construction applications and comes in contact with an electrical current. The insulated pinch bar can be part of a system which further includes a cover adapted to protect the electrically insulative material when the insulated pinch bar is not in use. Other embodiments are described. | 01-03-2013 |
| 20130214219 | POSITIONING DEVICE FOR POSITIONING AN EJECTION DEVICE FOR EJECTING A MOVABLY MOUNTED PART OF A PIECE OF FURNITURE - The invention relates to a positioning device for positioning an ejection device for ejecting a movably mounted part of a piece of furniture from a closed end position in relation to a body of a piece of furniture. The ejection device can be fixed in relation to the body of the piece of furniture by means of an adapter plate, said adapter plate comprising at least two guides, one of said guides being respectively connectable to a bearing part fixed to the body. The at least two guides can be used to position the ejection device in at least two different depth positions on or in the body of the piece of furniture. | 08-22-2013 |
| 20130292616 | TOOL FOR OPENING FROZEN CAR DOORS - A tool assists a user to open a frozen car door without causing damage to the car door or door frame. The tool can be carried on a key ring so as to be readily available to the user. The tool can be made in a hook shape with smooth edges and with a resin or plastic material that will not damage the vehicle like a conventional metal screwdriver may cause. | 11-07-2013 |
| 20140284530 | Shoe Attachment for Propping Hand Trucks - The present invention is a shoe attachment and a method of use thereof. The shoe attachment allows a hand truck user to retrieve the hand truck more easily and efficiently after unloading boxes. The device comprises a metal plate with a hook and a pair of slots. The metal plate is to be positioned upon and strapped to the boot with the support of a belt with a buckle. In strapping the metal plate to the boot, the belt traverses through both of the slots on the plate and attaches to itself via the buckle. During use, the hook of the metal plate forms a secure connection between the top of the foot and the bottom rung of the hand truck. Upon engagement, the user may then retrieve the hand truck with a strong pull. The present invention is applicable to any wheeler with a bottom rung. | 09-25-2014 |
| 20160083234 | Adjustable Support Fittings For a Jimmy Bar and Other Elongated Structures - Adjustable clamp systems that include friction sleeves and corresponding compression nuts for securing the friction sleeves to an elongated support structure. Each friction sleeve is designed and configured to slidably engage around the exterior of the elongated support structure and includes at least one deformable region that allows the corresponding compression nut to radially compress a portion of the friction sleeve into firm engagement with the support structure so that the friction sleeve firmly grips the support structure. The adjustable clamp systems can be used to secure one or more objects to the elongated support structure. | 03-24-2016 |
