Abstract: A router table clamp system for attaching a router to a router table, wherein the system includes a first plate that is fixed with respect to the router table, a second plate that is configured to cooperate with the first plate to enable the router to be removably attached to the router table, and a clamping mechanism configured and arranged to move the second plate with respect to the first plate between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein when the clamping mechanism is in the locked position, the router is securely attached to the router table. The clamping mechanism also includes a lever assembly configured and arranged to move the second plate in a locking direction and an unlocking direction, which directions are both generally coincident with a plane defined by the second plate, wherein the locking direction is opposite of the unlocking direction.

Abstract: A rotary tool accessory in one embodiment includes a base, a circular wall extending upwardly from the base about a central axis, the circular wall including an inner face, an outer face and a circular rim, a first cutting group including a first inwardly extending tooth extending from a location directly above the circular wall to a location closer to the central axis than the inner face, a first outwardly extending tooth extending from a location directly above the circular wall to a location farther from the central axis than the outer face, and a first gullet extending downwardly from the rim toward the base, a second cutting group including a second inwardly extending tooth, a second outwardly extending tooth, and a second gullet, and a toothless expanse of the rim extending between the first cutting group and the second cutting group.

Abstract: A router bit kit includes a plurality of router bits, a plurality of router bit holders and a container. Each of the plurality of router bits has a cutting surface configured to produce a cut having a three dimensional kerf profile. Each of the plurality of bit holders corresponds to at least one of the plurality of f router bits. Each of the plurality of bit holders has a three dimensional kerf profile portion that matches the three dimensional kerf profile which the corresponding router bit is configured to produce. The container is configured to retain the plurality of router bits and the plurality of holders.

Abstract: Embodiments of a driving tool are disclosed that comprise a shank portion, and a working portion, wherein the working portion is configured to drive either a Phillips head fastener or a Robertson® head fastener.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of the present invention is directed to a tool accessory case having first and second housing members pivotally connected to each other along a hinge portion and forming a tool holding cavity. A latch is connected to the first housing member and is moveable between latched and unlatched positions. The latch has a gripping structure configured for gripping the second housing member, and at least one flexure member configured to contact the first housing member and bias the latch toward the latched position. The latch also has at least one fixed hinge guide for pivoting with respect to the first housing member and with respect to the flexure member. The tool accessory case also has a receiving structure disposed on the second housing member and is configured to receive the gripping structure of the latch when the latch is in the latched position.

Abstract: A small displacement, preferably bidirectional motor (20) is provided which includes a chassis (22), main actuator assembly (24), and forward and rearward clutch assemblies (26,28), as well as an output (106-110) coupled to an external load (222) to be translated. The main actuator assembly (24) includes a plurality of primary magnetostrictive actuators (50-54). The clutch assemblies (26,28) each have a secondary magnetostrictive actuator (88,148), a ramp (90, 150) interengageable with a roller cage (136, 196), and are designed as passively-engaged, actively-disengaged, one-way clutches which are unloaded before disengagement thereof in order to prevent undue clutch wear. Forward translation of the output (106-110) is obtained by inchworm-type incremental motion, whereas rearward translation occurs by an initial forward motion followed by a greater rearward motion to achieve a net rearward displacement.
