Abstract: A mechanical timer mechanism can include a driven gear mounted to a rotary damper and a drive gear operably coupled to the driven gear. In bump mode, movement of an auxiliary trigger to its actuating position can initially move the drive gear from a home position into its wind-up position. Thereafter, a contact trip can continue to move the drive gear to its wind-up position and an actuator of a principal trigger to its actuating position each time the contact trip is actuated, unless the timing mechanism has timed-out between actuations. In sequential mode, the drive gear can be moved into a timer lock-out position which holds the contact trip in a bypass position in which the contact trip will not engage the actuator of the auxiliary trigger unless the auxiliary trigger is moved to its actuating position before actuation of the contact trip.

Abstract: A system and method for a self-actuating, mechanically-biased container restraint. The system requires no computer-aided control or timing, nor is any external power source needed, other than the force exerted as a container is inserted into the restraint. The system relies upon an assembly including mechanically-biased pivoting levers, each of which has a horizontal element and a vertical element. All actuation occurs as the base of an inserted container comes into contact with the upper surface of the horizontal elements of multiple pivoted levers positioned at the base of a channel adapted to serve as a guide for the inserted tube. The levers are biased in this elevated position by mechanical means, such as a spring. As the inserted tube presses the horizontal members downward, the top portions of the vertical members are pivoted inward toward the container's exterior.

Accordingly, at least a first and second filler of circulating design with infeed starwheels and outfeed starwheels are provided. Filling can take place with a small amount of required space and comparatively low machine output in that the empty bottles are alternatingly removed from a transport path which runs linearly at least in some portions and supplied by means of the infeed starwheels to the first and second fillers interlocking with said transport path, and the bottles thus filled are transferred again to the transport path into transport gaps produced between the bottles during removal.

Abstract: A foreign object debris (FOD) collection drill attachment for attaching to a drill includes with a drill guide bushing holder, a chip breaker bushing, an air supply line, a chip evacuation line, a chip collection hopper, and an air manifold. The drill guide bushing holder includes an inlet channel receiving air from the air supply line, an outlet channel, and a holder center channel. The inlet channel and the outlet channel each open into the holder center channel through which an end protrusion of the chip breaker bushing extends to break up FOD on a drill bit of the drill. The cross-sectional area of the inlet channel is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the outlet channel, creating a Venturi effect between the inlet channel and the outlet channel to pull FOD away from the drill bit and through the chip evacuation line to the chip collection hopper.

Abstract: A method is provided for an electrically-driven tool to detect battery decline. The electrically-driven tool includes a battery, a controller and a kinetic device. The controller pre-stores a dataset of energy provision time including a data piece of energy provision time that signifies a predetermined time length presumed to be required by the battery to provide a predetermined amount of electric energy. The controller induces provision of the predetermined amount of electric energy to the kinetic device to have the kinetic device perform a predetermined stroke with a predetermined load, times a stroke time period taken by the predetermined stroke, and determines whether the stroke time period is greater than the predetermined time length. The controller outputs a battery abnormality signal when the stroke time period is greater than the predetermined time length.
