  • VALVE CORE REMOVAL TOOL
    Publication number: 20170008157
    Abstract: A valve core removal tool can include a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A valve core gripper can be coupled to the distal end of the shaft and can include a first valve core engaging surface and an opposing second valve core engaging surface spaced therefrom. The first and second valve core engaging surfaces can be flexible and movable relative to each other between a first position, where the free ends of the first and second valve core engaging surfaces are spaced apart a first distance, and a second position, where the free ends of the first and second valve core engaging surfaces are spaced apart a second distance that is greater than the first distance. The first and second valve core engaging surfaces can be spring-biased in the first position for gripping a valve core between the first and second valve core engaging surfaces.

  • Hole cutter with chip egress aperture
    Patent number: 9358619
    Abstract: A hole cutter has a substantially cylindrical blade body defining a blade body circumference, a cutting edge formed on one end of the blade body, and an axially-elongated slot formed through the substantially cylindrical blade body. The axially-elongated slot is configured to receive chips flowing from the cutting edge within the interior of the blade body and (i) into the slot, and/or (ii) through the slot, to prevent the collection of such chips within the interior of the blade body and/or at an interface between the blade body and work piece. The axially-elongated slot defines a first end adjacent to the cutting edge, a second end axially spaced further from the cutting edge, and a slot area. The hole cutter further defines a total slot area to blade body circumference ratio within the range of about 0.1 to about 0.3 depending on the size of the hole cutter.

  • Extensible ports for electronic devices
    Patent number: 9356408
    Abstract: An electronic device can be configured to support a port that connects to a plug or jack such that the face of the port is substantially equal to or greater in size than at least one dimension of the electronic device. The electronic device can then continue to support connections to peripheral devices and other devices having plugs and jacks of various sizes, and the electronic device is not necessarily limited to a certain depth or thickness. This can be achieved by electronic devices that incorporate adaptive or extensible ports that are retracted in one state and extended in a second state to support the plugs or jacks such that the face of the port substantially meets or exceeds at least one dimension of the electronic device. Alternatively, or in addition, other embodiments can incorporate resilient materials for certain portions of the port.
