Publication number: 20020122703Abstract: A quick change adaptor for a hole saw includes an arbor, a collar and a retaining nut. The adaptor allows a hole saw to be easily and efficiently mounted and dismounted to and from the adaptor. When mounted to the adaptor, the hole saw and collar rotate relative to the arbor and the retaining nut. Rotation of the collar and hole saw relative to the retaining nut is limited by the interaction between an arbor boss and a collar recess to provide a drive force to the hole saw.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2002Publication date: September 5, 2002Inventors: Peter Czyzewski, Thomas J.

Publication number: 20020112353Abstract: A hydraulic punch driver which includes a hydraulic pump section a hydraulic ram section, and a hydraulic hose which connects these two sections together. Because the hydraulic hose is flexible, the operator is able to manipulate the ram section such that it can be positioned at an angle relative to the pump section; a hose guard can be provided on the hose to protect the hose and to prevent overflexing of the hose. Such flexibleness allows the operator to use the punch driver in virtually any position such that the ram can operate as necessary and the operator can operate the pump handle, regardless of the environmental conditions of the place of use. The pump section also includes a coupler which allows a handle thereof to swivel 360 degrees to further allow the operator to grip and actuate the pump handle with maximum comfort.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2002Publication date: August 22, 2002Inventors: William F. Nordlin, Thomas G. Boese
