Abstract: A ring binder (10) for holding hole punched sheets of paper (P) includes a low profile ring metal (20). A pair of leaves (28, 30) are hingedly connected to each other for relative movement of the leaves to each other. A plurality of binder rings (22, 24, 26) are each formed of a pair of ring halves (22a, 22b, 24a, 24b, 26a, 26b). One end of each ring half is attached to a separate one of the leaves whereby movement of the leaves moves the ring halves to open and close the binder. A shield (40) covers the leaves, and release levers (44, 46) are located at each end of the cover. The levers are operable by a user of the ring binder to open and close the binder. Both release levers extend substantially co-planar to the cover and the length of the cover and release levers generally corresponds to the length of a sheet paper stored in the binder. This allows the overall size of the binder to be smaller than that of a ring binder holding the same size sheets of paper but using a conventional ring metal construction.

The housing is secured to one end each of a pair of spaced, parallel guide rods that extend slidably through the upper end of the frame of a working-clamping vise and which are secured at their opposite ends to an end bracket. Compression springs which surround the guide rods between the housing and the vise frame normally resist movement of the housing and the tool head toward the vise. In use, two jaws on the vise frame are moved into clamping engagement with a piece of bar stock to support the tool on the stock with the tool head and cutting bits therein disposed in spaced registry with the end of the work that is to be machined.

Abstract: A ring binder (10) comprises a pair of leaves (28, 30) hingedly connected to each other for relative movement therebetween. A plurality of spaced binder rings (22, 24, 26) are each formed of a pair of ring halves (22a, 22b, 24a, 24b, 26a, 26b). One end (22c, 22d, 24c, 24d, 26c, 26d) of each ring half is attached to one of the leaves. Movement of the leaves thus moves the opposite end of the respective ring halves out of and into contact with each other so to open and close the binder. A shield (20) covering the leaves has spaced openings (42) through which the ring halves extend. The shield has a plurality of raised sections (44, 46, 48) extending transversely of a longitudinal axis of the shield with one of the raised sections being formed at each binder ring location. Another raised section (52) extends axially of the longitudinal axis of the shield and intersects each of the transversely extending raised sections.

Abstract: A tool holding assembly for placement around a handle portion and/or a body portion of a portable hand drill. The assembly includes a first elastic sleeve and a second elastic sleeve which are adapted for placement over the handle portion of the drill. The second sleeve partially overlaps the first sleeve, thereby providing additional tension to retain drill bits and other tools against the handle portion of the drill. The assembly may also include a third elastic sleeve which is adapted for placement over the body portion of the drill, and which is particularly disposed for retaining an elongate shank of a drill bit or the like. Together the various sleeves allow drill accessories such as drill bits, drill gimlets, and related tools to be retained upon the drill by tension of the elastic sleeves against the drill. The elastic sleeves are formed of any resilient material, however, rubber is preferred.

Abstract: A plug cutter has a main body portion having a longitudinal axis, shank portion extending axially from one end of the main body, and a plurality of blades extending axially from an opposite end of the main body. The blades are formed so that at least a portion of the inner surfaces thereof have a measure of radial relief with respect to the leading edges of the blades. A radial distance from the axis of rotation of the plug cutter to the leading edge of each blade is always less than the radial distance from the axis of rotation to any other portion of the inner surface. Accordingly, when a plug is being cut with the plug cutter, a gap is defined between an outer surface of the plug and the radially relieved portion of the inner surfaces.
