Abstract: An adapter manifold having an adapter body and a syringe applicator, wherein the adapter body has substantially parallel inlet ports and substantially parallel exit ports, the inlet ports spaced an axial distance apart which is different from an axial distance between the exit ports, to accommodate the syringe applicator which has multiple substantially parallel syringes, and substantially parallel syringe connectors in fluid communication with the inlet ports having Luer-type receivers on proximal ends thereof, wherein the syringe connectors are biased toward a proximal end of the adapter body.

Abstract: A dispensing device and cartridge for simultaneous delivery and mixing of multiple co-reactive materials, the cartridge having proximal and distal ends, and having an elongated holder body with substantially parallel longitudinal voids. Multiple syringe bodies are disposed parallel within the voids and multiple co-reactive materials are separately disposed in the syringe bodies. The dispensing device also includes a longitudinal housing which is structured and arranged to receive the cartridge.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, an electric motor mounted in the housing, and a switching device for reversing rotation direction of the motor. The switching device includes an actuator slidably secured to the housing and movable between first and second positions. The actuator includes a magnet. A first ferromagnetic member is attached to a first housing section so as to be within range of attraction force of the magnet when the actuator is in the first position and a second ferromagnetic member is attached to a second housing section so as to be within range of attraction force of the magnet when the actuator is in the second position. A hall sensor is attached to the housing so as to be proximate the magnet as the actuator is moved between first and second positions. Proximity of the magnet and hall sensor reverses the direction of rotation of the motor.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments of sheet cutting shears are disclosed. A sheet cutting shears may include a tool body and a cutting head. The tool body may include a drive housing and a handle coupled to the drive housing. The handle may be inclined toward the cutting head so that at least a portion of the drive housing located between the handle and the cutting head is within a footprint of the handle when viewed from above. A handle axis and a housing axis may form an acute angle located at least in part between a front side of the handle and a top side of the drive housing. The sheet cutting sheers may further include a trigger configured to move between an off position and an on position, the trigger being spaced apart from the drive housing.

Abstract: A power tool includes a motor having an outwardly extending rotor that defines a drive axis, a housing surrounding the motor, and a gearcase that includes a drive train coupled to the rotor and configured to drive a tool output. The gearcase includes a proximal end and an opposite distal end that is exposed to the outside of the tool forward of the housing. The gearcase includes respective locking elements spaced around the periphery of the gearcase proximal end. A motor mount includes spaced apart locking elements that are configured to engage with respective gearcase locking elements. The proximal end portion of the gearcase is adapted to make contact with the motor mount between the locking elements and then rotate such that the gearcase locking elements engage the motor mount locking elements.

Abstract: The housing assembly has a grip portion having a heightwise axis. The housing assembly includes a housing member having parallel upper and lower housing guide features spaced apart along the heightwise axis. The trigger member is mounted in the housing assembly to slide along a slide axis transverse to the heightwise axis. The trigger member includes parallel upper and lower trigger guide features spaced apart along the heightwise axis and mated with the upper and lower housing guide features. The upper and lower housing guide features and the upper and lower trigger guide features cooperate to limit the trigger member to a linear slide path relative to the housing assembly and inhibit cocking of the trigger member about a lateral axis transverse to each of the heightwise axis and the slide axis.

Abstract: A pistol and/or clam shell style power tool housing. With respect to the pistol style housing, the tool housing includes a body defining a head portion with a handle portion depending therefrom to define a forward and/or a rear junction. A metal reinforcing member is configured to span along an inside surface of the body from the head portion to the handle portion such that the reinforcing member bridges either the forward or rear junction. In at least one embodiment, the reinforcing member is provided along each lateral side of the tool body. With respect to the clam shell style housing, with two opposed body halves interconnected to define the tool housing body, at least one continuous reinforcing ring is positioned about both halves of the tool housing body to prevent splitting between the two halves.
