  • Publication number: 20220055189
    Abstract: An adjustable dual-range wrench including an elongate handle and a fixed jaw carried by the handle. The fixed jaw includes multiple teeth disposed linearly along the jaw. A hook jaw is pivotably coupled to the handle opposite the fixed jaw. A toothed lobe is adjustably positioned along the fixed jaw between an outer engagement region sized to engage a first range of sizes and an inner engagement region sized to engage a second range of sizes. The hook jaw comprises a first set of teeth associated with the outer engagement region and a second set of teeth associated with the inner engagement region.

  • Publication number: 20070026194
    Abstract: A separator sheet for pallets, parts, or other stacked material is formed from a polyolefin such as HDPE using a method that produces a roughened surface on the sheet that helps prevent shifting of the stacked material. The sheets can be made by extruding melted polyolefin through a die, and the roughened surface can be provided by stretching the extruded material through the nip of a pair of rollers run at different temperatures and at a speed that is greater than the extrusion speed of the polyolefin. Alternatively, the heated polyolefin can be provided with a suitable level of moisture content or a foaming agent to obtain the roughened surface. Injection molding techniques can also be used to form the separator sheets.

  • Patent number: 5621296
    Abstract: A three phase motor conversion and monitoring circuit converts a three phase motor to be started and run on single phase line power. During motor start-up, the circuit connects a start capacitor across a first input pair of the motor via a normally closed relay contact. The circuit includes a power supply connected across a first motor input pair which powers both a voltage monitor connected across a different input pair and a phase sequencing detector. When normal run voltage is detected across the first and second input pairs, and if and only if the phase sequencing detector has detected a normal phase sequence indicating that the motor is rotating in the correct direction, the relay is operated to open the normally closed contacts and to remove the start capacitor from the motor circuit.
