  • Patent number: 6729949
    Abstract: A device for abrading and finishing excess cured filler material from a bullnose cornerbead which forms an outside corner joint between immediately adjacent sheets of drywall. The device includes an elongated rigid body having a generally concave-shaped central longitudinal surface which receives a highly compressible thick foam-backed abrasive member which is preferably substantially coextensive with, and arcuately compressibly formable to match, the radiused bullnose joint contour. Two sets of spaced guide rollers extend longitudinally of the device adjacent each side margin of the longitudinal surface which, in cooperation with the compressible abrasive member, is matingly engageable against the bullnose corner to substantially match the outside corner angle between the adjacent drywall sheets when the device is pressed firmly against the bullnose corner.

  • Patent number: 6637792
    Abstract: A mud pan support device magnetically attachable to, and releasable from, a flat bottom panel of a mud pan to be carried in one hand while applying joint compound with a trowel or mud spreading tool held in the other hand. The device includes an elongated substantially flat support panel and a handle connected to and extending from a central area of one surface of the support panel. A substantially flat magnetized panel is connected to, and is at least partially coextensive with, another surface of the support panel and is sized to be at least partially coextensive with the bottom panel of the mud pan. The magnetized panel is of sufficient magnetically attractive strength to serve as an only means for secure magnetic engagement between the magnetized panel and the bottom panel when the mud pan is filled with mud or plaster.

  • Patent number: 6439983
    Abstract: A device for abrading and finishing excess cured filler material from a bullnose outside cornerbead connected between immediately adjacent sheets of drywall. The device includes an elongated rigid body having a generally concave-shaped central longitudinal portion which replaceably receives a highly compressible elongated abrasive member which is substantially coextensive with, and arcuately formable to match against the bullnose cornerbead convex contours. A guide runner extends along either longitudinal side margin of the central longitudinal portion. These guide runners substantially match and glide along the outside angle between the adjacent drywall sheets when there is substantial compression in thickness of the abrasive member firmly engaged against the bullnose cornerbead.

  • Patent number: 5993306
    Abstract: A device for abrading and finishing excess cured filler material from a bullnose outside cornerbead connected between immediately adjacent sheets of drywall. The device includes an elongated rigid body having a generally concave-shaped central longitudinal portion which preferably replaceably receives a sheet of somewhat compressible open fibrous adhesive material which is preferably substantially coextensive with, and arcuately formed to match the bullnose cornerbead convex contour, by the central longitudinal portion. In the preferred embodiment, a guide rail extends along either longitudinal margin of the central longitudinal portion which, in cooperation with the abrasive layer mateingly engaged against the bullnose cornerbead, substantially match the outside angle between the adjacent drywall sheets.

  • Patent number: 4530646
    Abstract: A compressor of the reciprocating piston and cylinder type especially adapted for use in moving gas from the wellhead or casing of a producing oil or gas well into the gas sales line with the compressor being operated by the conventional pump jack utilized to operate a downhole pump and more particularly the walking beam of the pump jack is used as the prime mover for operating the compressor. The compressor includes a long stroke piston reciprocal in a cylinder with the cylinder being attached to the walking beam and the piston rod supported from the pump jack skid or samson post with the attachment structures being unique to enable optimum operating conditions in each installation. The cylinder and piston are constructed of non-metallic components or coated to resist corrosion by various corrosive materials normally found in natural gas.
