  • Publication number: 20230055340
    Abstract: A template holding jig for holding a template for use with a router for routing a workpiece is provided. The holding jig may also be part of a workpiece joining jig that includes a plurality of templates. The template holding jig includes a template support, a workpiece support and a template guide. The template support defines a template support plane. The workpiece support defines a workpiece support plane extending perpendicular to the template support plane. The template guide defines at least one abutment preventing motion of a template located on the template support parallel to a first axis being parallel to the workpiece support plane and parallel to the template support plane. The at least one abutment permits motion of the template parallel to a second axis being orthogonal to the workpiece support plane and perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the template support plane.

The carriage is movably mounted to the base. The positioning arrangement includes a slot, a plurality of recesses and a pin. The slot extends through the first leg in a direction perpendicular to the actuation axis. The slot has a constant height section having a height. The pin has a shaft and a head. The head is receivable in the recesses. The shaft has a thickness being substantially equal to the height of the constant height section of the slot. The pin is movable relative to the carriage along a pin axis that is perpendicular to the actuation axis to selectively engage and disengage the recesses.

  • Patent number: 10107447
    Abstract: A system for mounting a flat panel television or display to a surface such as a wall. A base plate is configured to operatively connect to a surface, while an adapter plate is configured to operatively connect to a display device. A plurality of connecting arms are used to operatively connect the base plate to the adapter plate. Each of the plurality of connecting arms includes a base plate engagement portion slidably engageable with slots in the base plate and an adapter plate engagement portion operatively connected to the adapter plate. Movement of the base plate engagement portions within the base plate's slots results in a translational movement of the adapter plate relative to the base plate.
