  • Patent number: 4004683
    Abstract: A flexible rubber strip has openings slightly smaller than the shank of a power load spaced along its length. Power loads having shank and head portions are inserted through the openings up to the head portion in which position the power loads are gripped by the rubber to hold the power loads until forceably removed. The strip with power loads is contained in a box with one end of the strip protruding through an opening in the top of the box. An operator of a powder actuated tool grabs the protruded end of the strip and pulls a section of the strip from the box. He inserts the first power load into the cartridge receiving chamber of the powder actuated tool and by peeling the strip over the head portion of the power load separates the power load from the strip. The box containing the strip can be clipped to the operator's belt or contained in the pocket of an apron.

  • Patent number: 3995370
    Abstract: A guide bar has a groove extending along the top and bottom edges and continues in a semi-circular path around the outer end. A cutting chain has drive tangs that slide in said groove to guide the cutting chain along the edges of the bar. A thin rigid plate is fixed to one or both sides of the guide bar near the outer end thereof and extends slightly past the outer end to form a safety rail that reduces the degree of hooking that is caused by the depth gauges and cutters of the cutting chain digging into or hooking onto a tree or branch being cut.

  • Patent number: 3989122
    Abstract: A loader having an elevated operator's platform mounted behind the cab of a truck. A ladder positioned to the side of the loader enables an operator to climb up to and down from the platform. The ladder includes a first standard fixed to the truck and/or loader, and a second standard carried by the first standard through interconnecting rungs normally spaced from the first standard outwardly of the acceptable travelling width of the truck. The outer standard and interconnecting rungs are pivotally connected to each other and to the inner standard whereby the outer standard can be pivoted upwardly against the inner standard to substantially reduce the width of the ladder to a position within the acceptable travelling width of the truck.

  • Patent number: 3987544
    Abstract: A guide bar for a chain saw including a main bar portion having its outer end edge abutting a mating inner end edge of a nose portion. At least a section of one of the bar portions adjacent the abutting end edges is formed by side plates supported in a spaced apart position by spacing posts. A connecting web connects the bar portions with the said one bar portion fitting between the spaced apart side plates. The web is provided with slots to accommodate the supporting posts and displaceable ear portions extend into the slots to resist but not prevent passage of the posts. Forcing the said one bar portion over the web causes the ear portions to deflect around the supporting posts which then resists but does not prevent separation of said one bar portion from the web.

  • Patent number: 3968873
    Abstract: A semi-rigid strip including means for attaching power loads and fasteners alternately along the strip. Said power loads are attached with the head of the power load against the strip and the crimped end extending outwardly thereof and said fasteners are attached with the point of the fastener against the strip and the head of the fastener extending outwardly of the strip. Said means for attaching the power loads and fasteners to the strip being releasible in a manner whereby they can be inserted into the power load receiving chamber or barrel muzzle as the case may be and then the strip is peeled away, thus avoiding the independent handling of the separated power load or fastener. A box is adapted to contain a number of the semi-rigid strips with fasteners and power loads attached thereto with the strips positioned side-by-side within the box as to be individually removed.

  • Patent number: 3955279
    Abstract: A guide bar has a main portion and a nose portion. The main portion has a convex outer end and the nose portion a mating concave inner end. A tongue extends from the nose portion for insertion in a receiving slot in the main portion and rivets fasten the tongue to the main portion. A relief is formed at the junctions of the edges of the nose portion and main portion, i.e., at the points where the saw chain passes from the main portion to the nose portion and then back to the main portion of the guide bar.

  • Patent number: 3946636
    Abstract: A toggle bolt to be used, for example, to fasten components to a ceiling. The toggle bolt includes a bolt portion and a sleeve portion. The bolt portion is of standard construction and includes an elongated threaded shank and a head portion. The sleeve portion includes a threaded nut pivotally mounted within the sleeve. The sleeve is slotted on one end so that the bolt can be threaded into the nut and then positioned either aligned or crosswise relative to the sleeve. A leaf spring portion in the sleeve biases the sleeve into the crosswise position so that the aligned position is maintained only while the sleeve is pushed through a hole in the ceiling and upon clearing the hole assumes the crosswise position.
