Abstract: The flexible duct connector processing system of the present invention comprises a decoiler machine and a processing machine. The decoiler machine stores one or more rolls of flexible duct connector stock which are fed to the processing machine. The processing machine beads, notches, and cuts the flexible duct connector stock according to programmed instructions received from a control system. A conveyor system disposed after the processing machine optionally collects the cut flexible duct connector stock and conveys it in batches.

Abstract: A rammer tool for installing hardware into pieces of conduit. The rammer tool includes a mounting section to mount the tool into an air hammer or other device. The rammer tool also includes a hardware section with a magnet to prevent hardware from falling off of the tool during the installation process.

Abstract: A corner plate for connecting pieces of duct that facilitates automatic feeding and provides horizontal stack stabilization. The corner plate includes sled features that provide regular and even vertical spacing when stacked. The sled features also interact with an adjacent corner plate allowing motion in a feed direction to facilitate automatic feeding while resisting lateral motion in a non-feeding direction to stabilize the stack of corner plates in a horizontal direction. The corner plate also includes tabs that prevent nesting and facilitate automatic feeding.

Abstract: An arm support cover including a sheath having an impermeable inner layer and an absorbent outer layer. The sheath is elongated and has an opening at a selected end thereof for insertion therethrough of a surgical arm support commonly used to support and secure a patient's arm during surgery so that intravascular and intramuscular hypodermics inserted within the patient's arm will not be inadvertently disturbed during the operation. Two pair of straps each including a first strap having a hooked portion and a second strap having a looped portion, are connected to the underside of the sheath. In operation, the first and second straps are wrapped in opposite direction around the sheath, support arm and patient's arm with the hook and loop portions being engaged to connect the strap and secure the patient's arm. An alternate embodiment includes a pair of straps each having a hooked portion and looped portion of hook-and-loop connector on opposite sides thereof.
