  • Publication number: 20210372134
    Abstract: A siding clip may include at least one tab having a tab through hole, a base having at least one base through hole, and a side portion affixed to an edge of the at least one tab at a first side portion end and to an edge of the base at a second side portion end, thereby forming a gap between the at least one tab and the base. The tab through hole is disposed opposite to one of the at least one base through holes. The siding clip further includes at least one coupling flange having a plane parallel to a plane of the at least one tab, and having at least one insertion feature. The at least one coupling flange is disposed in a direction opposite to a direction of the at least one tab.

  • Patent number: 6276247
    Abstract: An adjustable punch assembly includes a releasable locking means for selectively allowing relative rotation between a threadably mated punch cap and punch driver for punch length adjustment. The releasable locking means includes a locking element, preferably a ball bearing, residing in a passage extending in a radial direction in the punch cap to open opposite a splined index portion of the punch driver. The splined index portion includes a plurality of angularly spaced grooves each extending in an axial direction of the punch driver, whereby a corresponding groove opposite the passage is engaged by the locking element. A plunger in its locked position confines the locking element in locking engagement with the punch cap and punch driver, and is movable to an unlocked position wherein the locking element is no longer confined in locking engagement to permit punch length adjustment.
