  • Publication number: 20250003271
    Abstract: An improved hasp for use with a hidden shackle pad lock. The hasp is manufactured of high strength steel and includes a tamper proof hinge with a domed pin. Further the shackle is mounted on high strength laminated steel mounting plates for additional security. The device includes a protective shroud for the hidden shackle lock with offset breaks in the shroud to prevent cutting the lock with a grinder. Further the configuration of the shackle allows use on openings that need to be secured, particularly those on boxes for public utilities (utility boxes).

  • Patent number: 12176693
    Abstract: An electrical junction box (pull box) that is used for connecting electrical utilities to public fixtures such as streetlamps and stop lights and designed to be used in new construction with walls that can withstand the pressures and forces of having concrete poured around it. The pull box also includes improved security features including a security cover and a decorative cover. The security cover is secured to the pull box one or more oval shaped security nuts each fitted over a threaded post and locked down with a special security tool. The one or more threaded posts are secured to the pull box by novel high strength security brackets that are fitted to the rear of the pull box. The security nuts are fitted to the threaded posts in a recessed well that is covered by a threaded cover installed with a second special tool. Once the security cover is installed, a decorative cover is installed over the security cover typically with screws.

  • Patent number: 11572748
    Abstract: An improved vacuum device for use with a vacuum assisted post hole digger tool. The improved vacuum device includes two suction providing motors with their suction outlets connected in a parallel fashion directly to a filter box. The dual motor configuration provides significantly improved suction power over existing vacuum devices but is still able to be powered on household 120V AC power. The improved vacuum device is paired with a post hole digger apparatus which includes an elongated hollow tubular tool for transmitting vacuum to the base end of the tube. The base end of the tube further comprises a variety bore heads for breaking up soil. A variety of devices for breaking up soil or removing clogs around the bore head are included: a thrasher bar, a hammer bar and an unclogger bar. Each of these devices are designed to be activated either manually by the user by application of force at the upper end of the tool or by application of rotary force by a motor disposed at the top of the housing.

  • Patent number: 7331369
    Abstract: A magnet holder constructed of a resilient material as a plural-sided box has an open side. A bar magnet within the magnet holder extends outwardly from the open side. A second side of the box has an arcuate convex shape extending outwardly. A hollow door frame strut provides a first interior surface abutting a third side of the box. The magnet abuts a second interior surface of the strut with the second side of the box abutting a third interior surface such that the arcuate shape is flattened, springfully wedging the box between the first and second interior surfaces of the strut and securing the magnet holder in place within the strut.
