  • Publication number: 20060220503
    Abstract: A locking system for a roll-away cabinet add-on such as a top box that integrates with the existing locking mechanism of the roll-away such that the drawers of the top box are automatically locked and unlocked when the drawers of the roll-away cabinet are locked and unlocked and wherein the top box does not need its own individual locking system.

  • Publication number: 20050279191
    Abstract: A power ratchet wrench assembly having a tensionless head wherein operation of the ratchet mechanism does not require a tensioning means for applying a frictional force against the ratchet mechanism to inhibit rotational movement of the ratchet mechanism. In one embodiment, the invention provides a first gear, a second gear, and a ratchet mechanism having a drive body; wherein the drive body is alternately: coupled to the first gear and ratcheting with the second gear, and coupled to the second gear and ratcheting with the first gear.

  • Publication number: 20020148331
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel ratchet head configurations for externally capturing a ratchet mechanism within the head of a powered ratchet wrench, such as a pneumatic ratchet wrench for example. Externally capturing the ratchet mechanism prevents the separation of the ears of the ratchet mechanism, caused by the application of torque to the ratchet head design. In prior art designs, repeated application of torque to the ratchet head caused separation of the ratchet head ears, and in turn, malfunctioning of the ratchet caused by loss of tension between the yoke of the ratchet and ratchet head itself. By preventing the ears from separating, the present invention maintains proper operation, and increased tool life. Furthermore, the tools maintenance and repair costs are decreased.

  • Patent number: 6305246
    Abstract: A lubrication port is placed in the yoke of a pneumatic powered ratchet wrench or the head of a hand powered ratchet wrench. The lubrication port is placed so that it intersects with the teeth formed on the circumference of the bore formed in the yoke or the ratchet head which come in contact with the teeth formed on the outer ends of the pawl(s) of a ratchet mechanism. This allows for the application of lubricants, preferably grease, to the area of engagement between the teeth formed on the circumference of the bore of the yoke, ratchet head or ratchet mechanism and the teeth formed on the outer ends of the pawl(s) of a ratchet mechanism. Application of lubricants through the lubrication port of the present invention also allows for lubrication of the moving components of the ratchet assembly. Moreover, in a pneumatic powered ratchet wrench the lubrication port allows for application of lubricants to the drive bushing and crank of the wrench.
