  • Patent number: 6360798
    Abstract: Router tables, generally used for woodworking, have fences used to guide workpieces during cutting. The router table has a table top which has a top work surface and a router bit hole through the table top. A plurality of support legs are provided below the table top. A safety shield is positioned above the router bit hole. The workpiece fence has left and right fences which operate independently of each other. The left and right fences slide on the top work surface in a front to rear direction and a side to side direction. A feather flap extends from the workpiece fence and holds the workpiece down against the table top during cutting.

  • Patent number: 6299152
    Abstract: A work bench has a pair of clamping jaws supported on parallel spaced apart beams. At least one of the jaws moves toward the other by means of driving members that are associated with each beam. Each of the driving members for the at least one movable jaw is capable of being individually actuated. The driving members include a step-by-step or ratchet drive constructed and arranged so that each of the drive members can be individually actuated or actuated in unison with one foot of a user via a double-lever construction. The workbench enables hands-free actuating and clamping of both symmetric or prismatic and asymmetric or non-prismatic parts and components.

  • Patent number: 6260279
    Abstract: A device for cutting workpieces is in the form of pliers. One plier arm carries on an operating-end section an interchangeable blade. The blade can be moved toward and engages against an anvil of the operating-end section of the other plier arm by moving the plier arms toward one another. In order to improve the handling of such a cutting device, each plier arm includes a handle section. One of the two handle sections forms a selectively closeable storage chamber for storing spare blades. The chamber is in a core part of one of the plier arms and is covered and closed by a handle shell.

  • Patent number: 6254073
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping clip that can be actuated with one hand, having a drive housing comprising a hand grip and a fixed clamping jaw, with an actuating handle that can be displaced toward a rail with a second jaw by means of pivoting actuation on the hand grip, whereby the rail is blocked against back-pressure by means of a blocking element that can be released by means of thumb pressure on a release element. For better handling, it is provided that the release element forms an actuating arm that sits on a pivot axle that protrudes laterally from the housing approximately at the level of the actuating handle, the pivot axle of said arm being arranged, in relation to the direction of clamping of the rail, before the pivot axle of the handle.

  • Patent number: 6179116
    Abstract: A combination adjustable height bearing stand and roller platform assembly is provided which can be fixed at a pre-adjusted height. The combination bearing stand and roller assembly includes two pairs of legs with each pair of legs being pivotally connected together at a joint connection so that the legs can be brought from a parallel position used for storage to an angled position. The corresponding legs of the two pairs of legs are connected by cross-connectors. The legs are tubular and one leg of each pair of legs receives a height-adjustable support which can be secured at a pre-selected height by a fixing element. The top ends of the height-adjustable support are connected to fastening elements which, in turn, are pivotally connected to two carriers which support a platform assembly. Both the platform and bearing stand legs are pivotable between a collapsed and parallel storage position to an angled and horizontal position respectively using a single motion.

  • Patent number: 5954460
    Abstract: An improved drill stand is provided which includes a stand column slidably connected to a bearer unit so that the position or height of the bearer unit with respect to the stand column may be adjusted. The bearer unit includes a gear segment which is biased toward the retracted position by a reset spring. The gear segment is meshed with a geared slide rod. The geared slide rod may be disposed parallel to or perpendicular to the stand column. The slide rod is connected to a machine receiving part. Rotation of the gear segment with respect to the bearer unit against the bias of the reset spring results in movement of the slide rod in the machine receiving part towards an extended position. The machine receiving part is also connected to a bit stop rail. The bit stop rail is connected to a bit stop. The position of the bit stop along the bit stop rail is also adjustable. Movement of the machine receiving part towards the extended position is limited by engagement of the bit stop with the bearer unit.

  • Patent number: 5791210
    Abstract: Spring-tension pliers are disclosed having two clamping arms (2, 3) mounted see-saw fashion on a pivot pin (1), the arms forming a handle (4) with their legs, the legs being pivotable toward one another against the force of a spring (5) to open a clamping mouth formed by the other ends of the legs (6), with clamping jaws (7) being associated with the free ends of the clamping legs (6). The clamping jaws (7) are pivotable around a pivot axis (8') parallel to the pivot joint axis, end sections (9) of the clamping legs are rounded concentrically with respect to jaw pivot axis (8'), and these rounded areas (11) each fit into a correspondingly rounded recess (10) of the clamping jaws.
