  • Publication number: 20050210692
    Abstract: The present multi-axis installable and adjustable level is permanently installed to a suitable panel on or in a movable structure, such as a recreational vehicle or the like, or a portable work table or the like. The present level enables a user of the structure to level the structure precisely as required, and/or to determine the level of the structure, once the present level has been properly installed. The present level comprises a pair of leaves or panels which are hinged together, with one of the leaves providing coarsely adjustable permanent attachment to the structure and the opposite leaf including a bull's eye type level thereon. The first leaf is secured to a suitable panel (which may be sloped, horizontal, or vertical) of the structure, and the second leaf is extended and locked in a substantially horizontal orientation. The bubble level is then leveled precisely using the infinitesimal adjustment provided.

  • Publication number: 20050180830
    Abstract: The ā€œZā€-axis measurement tool is an adapter having a mounted depth gage for precise measurement of the vertical displacement of the cutting edge of a vertical milling machine. The tool has a first magnetically mountable bracket slidably attached to a stationary portion of a vertical milling machine, and a second bracket removably mounted to the quill stop of the milling machine. A depth gage mounted to the first bracket has an upward extending spindle which cooperatively engages a flat surface on the second bracket when the quill stop descends as the quill is lowered to engage a workpiece with a cutter.

  • Publication number: 20050127833
    Abstract: A white light LED having high color rendering indices and a correlated color temperature similar to that of an incandescent lamp. The LED has a semiconductor body formed of a semiconductor layer sequence capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation in a blue spectral range, the radiation exciting a yellow phosphor resulting in an intermediate blue-yellow light output whose chromaticity coordinates are transformed by a casting compound encompassing the semiconductor body and phosphor. A colored tint blended with epoxy resin forms the casting compound and filters the blue-yellow output, passing the red wavelength components of the blue-yellow output while attenuating the blue-yellow spectral wavelength, resulting in a balanced white output having a correlated color temperature, chromaticity coordinates, and color rendering indices similar to that of-an incandescent lamp output.

  • Patent number: 5023762
    Abstract: A channel and locking end tip for vinyl tube strip lighting. The tip includes a locking nib which is positioned within a channel opening for preventing the tip from shifting relative to the channel. To remove the tip, its outer end is pivoted upwardly such that the locking nib is spaced slightly above the channel bottom wall. A screw hole is provided through the tip body and channel for mounting. The vinyl tube light overlies the flange when carried by the channel. The mounting screw is external of the lighting bed such that the strip light may be fully assembled by the manufacturer and installed by the user with minimum effort.
