  • Patent number: 7044035
    Abstract: A hammer wrench assembly and method of use that includes a safety handle for use with a hammer wrench. The hammer wrench is fitted with a female coupling. The safety handle is fitted with a male coupling adapted to mate with the female coupling. The male coupling is pivotally coupled to the safety handle so that the handle can be rotated up to 180°. The hammer wrench assembly can be used by one user or two users. With two users, one user can swing the hammer while the other use can steady the hammer wrench with the safety handle.

  • Patent number: 6783054
    Abstract: A system (10) for conducting welding adjacent flammable materials (12) on a platform (11) is disclosed having a chamber (13) defining an interior space (16). The system also includes a welding apparatus (48) operable within the interior space. A sensor (54) is provided for sensing the presence of combustible gas within the interior space above a pre-selected level and generating a signal. An exterior sensor (57) is provided for sensing the presence of combustible gas outside the interior space above a pre-selected level and generating a signal. A controller (66) is in communication with the welding apparatus, the sensor, and the exterior sensor to control the operations of the welding apparatus in response to signals received from the sensor.
