Abstract: A tool that mounts on a power driver or other tool for installing framing members in a building ensures proper and uniform spacing of the framing members. A support that may be a C-shaped band clamp removably attaches to the power tool. A generally tubular gauge body snap-attaches in place and a slide member disposed within the gauge body is adjustable to extend a sufficient amount so the combined length of the tubular gauge body and the extended slide member provide a proper spacing for the framing members. A slide lock for holds the slide member at the extended position. This allows the measuring and installation to be done without the installer having to set the power tool down or use a ruler or tape measure once the spacing is established.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are for sealing packages on a flatbed machine. The package is formed from a base-film web and a water-soluble cover-film web. The sealing apparatus includes a liquid supply, at least one moistening unit, and a pressing device for vertically pressing and sealing the cover-film web together with the base-film web. The moistening unit has a moistening roller and a spraying device, the moistening unit being able to be switched between a first operating state and a second operating state. In the first operating state, the moistening roller acts on the cover-film web at a roller moistening location. During or after a machine standstill period, the sealing apparatus is transferred to a second operating state in which the spraying device acts on a spray portion of the cover-film web. The spray portion lies between the roller moistening location and the sealing location in the feed region.
