Abstract: A hook/hanger for use at the top of a door is formed in two separate parts in the form of a plastics material molding, having a flat rear surface and a central front hook-shaped part, and a sheet metal pressing which has a leg snap-fitting in a slot in the molding extending inwards from its top surface, in which is provided a recess to receive flush a body part of the pressing which engages the top surface of the door, in use. The body part has barbs to be driven into said door top surface to retain the hook/hanger in place. The pressing has a very small thickness to allow the door to be fully closed even with the hook in place.
Abstract: A tile cutter has a base molding of plastic material, which defines a surface for reception of a tile to be cut/broken, and spaced upstanding ends. Cutting/breaking forces applied during use are resisted/absorbed by a steel bar extending between the upstanding ends underneath the tile reception surface. Metallic guide rods extend between the upstanding ends above the tile-reception surface. A steel connecting plate is received in an upstanding end that is located adjacent where tile cutting/breaking takes place. In use, the guide rods carry a scoring and cutting/breaking device that slides on the rods. The connecting plate interconnects the steel bar and the guide rods without using fixing devices. A breaker rod fits in the surface of the base immediately above the position of the steel bar.
Abstract: An adapter for use with a powered grinding tool having a driven grinding wheel has a pivotally mounting part on a body thereof, and a drill bit holder engageable with the mounting part in either of two orientations for sharpening a tip of a drill bit clamped in a set position in the drill bit holder at the grinding wheel, the engagement being completed when the drill bit engages on a stop bar at the front of the mounting part. Also disclosed is a setting arrangement for setting the drill bit in its holder including stop means for engagement by the drill tip upon longitudinal setting of the drill bit, and drill rotation setting means slidable relative to the stop means for rotational setting of the drill bit. A powered grinding tool having the features of the adapter formed as part thereof is also disclosed.
Abstract: A device for use with a cable including a body having an opening to receive the cable. A cutting element is movable within the body between a first position and a second position. When the cutting element is in the first position, the cutting element does not extend into the opening such that the cable may be displaced into the opening. When the cutting element is displaced into a second position, the cutting element extends into the opening by an adjustable amount such as to engage a cable positioned within the opening. A manually operable adjustment device adjusts the amount that the cutting element extends into the opening when the cutting element is positioned in the second position. The manually operable adjustment device includes a further member that secures the cutting element and allows for motion of the cutting element in a direction towards and away from the center of the opening between the first position and the second position.
