  • Patent number: 5150887
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved ski holding device for mounting a ski on a table such as a work bench to prepare the ski base and edges. Problems presented by the new trapezoidal and monocoque designs are overcome by using a simulated ski boot to mount the ski. The mounting also provides for pivoting the ski from a position in which the base is horizontal with the ski inverted, positions in which the base of the ski is vertical and intermediate positions and holding the ski in such orientation. There is additional locking means for holding the base in a horizontal and inverted position. There is also provision for easily disengaging a boot portion of the holding device from a mounting portion of the holding device to reverse the direction in which the ski is pointing.

  • Patent number: 5145157
    Abstract: An adjustable workpiece holder has at least one jaw member holding a plurality of finger elements lengthwise in parallel therein. The finger elements have side surfaces with serrations formed over a given length thereof. The serrations allow the finger elements to be selectively adjustable in lengthwise position relative to adjacent finger elements, so that they can conform to the contour of the workpiece. The finger elements may have a total width that fits snugly within a recess or pocket of the jaw member. A releasable clamp applies firm lateral pressure to the finger elements to prevent any slippage. The jaw member may be part of a machining assembly or retrofitted to one or both sides of a standard milling or drill press vise. It may also be adapted for use in forming, stamping, bending, or shaping material, or for profiling or as a template for holding or positioning workpieces in other applications.
