  • Patent number: 7686677
    Abstract: A wheel assembly for a floor treatment machine is provided that aids the operator in maintaining positive control of the machine. The wheel assembly includes a body that can be removably attached to the floor treatment machine, and wheels that are configured to contact the floor, while the floor treatment machine is in use. The body of the wheel assembly can include a first end disposed below the base of the floor treatment machine, an intermediate region, and a second end extending beyond the base.

  • Publication number: 20060283033
    Abstract: An attachment for a carpenter's speed square is disclosed. The attachment comprises a C-shaped channel for accepting in slidable engagement a flange of the speed square. An extension extends from a first side of the C-shaped channel generally parallel to an axis thereof and terminates at a distal end thereof. A plurality of thumb screws are included to fix the C-shaped channel rigidly to the speed square. In use, the attachment is slid onto the flange of the speed square and a saw is brought into contact with the speed square such that a base plate of the saw abuts a fence edge of the triangular base. The C-shaped channel is extended towards the saw until the distal end of the extension contacts a surface of a saw blade. The plurality of thumb screws are then tightened. As such, the distal end of the extension extends a distance d away from the fence edge, the distance d corresponding to the distance between the surface of the saw blade and a fence contacting edge of the saw base plate.

  • Publication number: 20020111126
    Abstract: An abrading tool forms a plurality of grooves in an inner wall surface of a hole having a diameter and a depth, and defining a longitudinal axis, into which an anchor is installed. The tool is configured for mounting to a rotating driver to provide rotational movement to the tool. The tool has a shank having a first end for securing to the rotating driver and a second, free end. The shank has a diameter. A first abrading element is mounted to the shank proximal to the free end. A second abrading element is mounted to the shank spaced from the first abrading element and proximal to the rotating driver. The first and second abrading wheels have a diameter greater than the diameter of the shank. The tool is inserted into the hole and held at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the hole. With the rotating driver actuated, the tool is rotated around the hole to form first and second grooves in the inner wall surface of the hole.
