  • Publication number: 20160325361
    Abstract: A door lock installation tool for use with a first standard door width and a second standard door width. Each door has a side face, a rear face, and a front face. The tool includes a side hole guide including a side hole aperture arranged to abut the side face of the door and a guide housing movably coupled to the side hole guide. The tool further includes a back housing movably coupled to the side hole guide and arranged such that the back housing and the guide housing are each movable to either a first position with respect to the side hole guide to clamp the door having the first standard width to center the side hole aperture between the rear face and the front face, and a second position with respect to the side hole guide to clamp the door having the second standard width and to center the side hole aperture between the rear face and the front face. The back housing and the guide housing each slide linearly between the first position and the second position.

  • Publication number: 20060196545
    Abstract: A gauge protector that fits over the regulator assembly of a tank and includes a first housing section defining a first cavity for receiving the regulator and a second housing section defining a second cavity for receiving the pressure gauge. The first and second housing sections provide shock protection for the gauge and regulator. The first and second housing sections are rigidly connected to one another and mounted on the regulator assembly such that a force applied to the gauge is at least partially absorbed by the gauge protector and regulator assembly. As a result the force on the gauge is lessened and the integrity of the connection between the gauge and the regulator is maintained.

  • Publication number: 20060196547
    Abstract: A tank jacket fits over the outside of a storage tank. The jacket includes a hole for receiving the regulator assembly. The tank jacket supports a hose support assembly for storing the supply hose and a plurality of pockets for retaining various accessories and tools. A gauge protector fits over the regulator assembly and includes a first housing section defining a first cavity for receiving the regulator and a second housing section defining a second cavity for receiving the pressure gauge. A handle is formed on the gauge protector to facilitate carrying of the tank. The gauge protector and tank jacket protect the tank and regulator assembly and provide a system for transporting the tank and related equipment.

  • Publication number: 20060196546
    Abstract: A tank jacket that has a top portion and a body portion made of a durable flexible material such as nylon is dimensioned to fit over the outside of a storage tank. The top portion includes a hole for receiving the regulator assembly. Specifically, the regulator assembly is removed from the tank, typically by unscrewing the assembly from the tank, and the jacket is fit over the tank so that the hole aligns with the tank's fill/dispense port. The regulator assembly is then reattached to the tank to retain the jacket on the tank. The tank jacket supports a hose support assembly for storing the supply hose and a plurality of pockets for retaining various accessories and tools.

  • Publication number: 20050249563
    Abstract: A wood boring bit for boring holes in wood and other similar work surfaces having a central longitudinal axis, a main body, a pilot screw tip and a partial flute with a cutting edge and a cutting spur. The flute portion may be defined by a partial helical section having a distal end joined to the main body and a lead edge disposed toward said screw tip. The distal end and the lead edge preferably do not overlap along the central axis and are equal to or less than 360° from one another around the axis. The partial flute provides improved waste removal and allows the user to access the cutting edge of the flute for maintenance purposes.

  • Publication number: 20050082848
    Abstract: A lockset drilling guide and a method of forming holes in a door are provided. The drilling guide includes a frame and at least a first opening and a second opening defined in the frame. The first opening is positioned at approximately 90 degrees to the second opening. The frame is configured for positioning on a door to facilitate the forming of openings in a door for the installation of a lockset. The method includes the steps of providing a frame having at least a first opening and a second opening defined in the frame; positioning the frame on an edge of the door; inserting a first holesaw at least particularly into the first opening and drilling a first hole in the door; inserting a second holesaw at least partially into the second opening and drilling a second hole in the door; and removing the frame from the door.
