Publication number: 20070028455Abstract: A compact utility knife includes a blade holder slidably connected to a handle. A trapezoidal utility blade detachably mounts to the blade holder via a blade lock mechanism. A slide lock mechanism selectively retains the blade holder in its extended or retracted position relative to the handle. When the blade holder is extended, the blade holder and a majority of the blade extend forwardly of a forwardmost point of the handle. Extending the blade holder significantly increases an overall length of the knife such that the knife is comfortable to use when in the extended position and longitudinally compact when in the retracted position. The knife includes a blade lock mechanism. An aperture in the front of the handle creates a gap between the blade and the handle to discourage debris on the blade from transferring to the handle when the blade is retracted.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2005Publication date: February 8, 2007Applicant: THE STANLEY WORKSInventors: Eric Ranieri, Stephen Rowlay, Gary Van Deursen

Publication number: 20060181865Abstract: A handheld flashlight includes a head that pivots relative to a body. Three legs pivotally connect to the body and open into a tripod to support the head in an elevated position. The legs are spring-biased toward the open tripod position and are selectively held closed by a detent mechanism. In the closed position, the legs form a flashlight handle that is aligned with an illumination direction of the head and is shaped and sized to be held in the hand of an operator. Each of the three legs contain battery source holders for battery sources that connect to each other in parallel. Diodes are disposed in series with each battery source to prevent the parallel battery sources from discharging each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2006Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: THE STANLEY WORKSInventors: Gary Van Deursen, Joseph Martone, Vincent Cook, Michael Chan

Publication number: 20060137190Abstract: A combination utility and sporting knife includes a longitudinal knife handle, a utility blade carrier disposed within the handle and linearly movable within the handle, a utility blade carried by the blade carrier, a manual movable blade moving member operatively connected with the blade carrier, and a pivotally movable blade pivotally connected to the handle. The utility blade and the pivotally movable blade are extendable from opposite ends of the handle. The utility blade edge and the pivotally movable blade edge both are exposed towards the bottom portion of the handle when the pivotally movable blade and the utility blade are in operative positions thereof so that the bottom and top portions of the handle retain their relative bottom and top orientations for use of either the utility blade or the pivotally moveable blade.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2006Publication date: June 29, 2006Applicant: THE STANLEY WORKSInventors: Gary Van Deursen, Stephen Rowlay, Craig Roberts

Publication number: 20030063009Abstract: An indicating device that may be used with a lock mechanism positioned within a door that locks and unlocks the door. The indicating device may be incorporated into a removable housing such as a trim housing. A lock portion accessible to a user may extend through the trim housing and be coupled to the lock mechanism to change the lock mechanism between a locked position and an unlocked position. A switch may be coupled to at least one of the lock mechanism and the lock portion, as well as electrically coupled to a power source and to an indicator. The switch can then selectively activate the indicator to display to a user whether the door is locked or unlocked depending on the position of the at least one of the lock mechanism and the lock portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2001Publication date: April 3, 2003Applicant: THE STANLEY WORKSInventors: Thomas Pelletier, John Howard, Gary van Deursen, Richard Davidian
