  • Patent number: 12650287
    Abstract: A tape measure assembly and mount system may include a housing assembly having an enclosure with a tape assembly spooled within. An assembly may include the housing assembly having an interface in electronic communication with a controller within the enclosure. An assembly may include the controller having at least one mode selected from a group consisting of a tape/blade distance mode, and an implement distance mode. A mount system may include a first mount and a second mount selectively connected to one another, which may be configured to selectively mount to a power tool and more particularly, may attach to a fence of a power tool.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20250135678
    Abstract: A device may include a housing assembly that at least partially encloses a blade assembly. A device may include an actuation assembly operatively connected to the blade assembly to move the blade assembly in a linear direction along a substantially horizontal plane. A device may have a fence assembly having portions rotatably connected to one another. A device may have a measuring assembly to set a measurement of a cut. A device may have a hood assembly to cover a material during operation and having a translucent portion to allow sight of the material during operation. A device may have a clamp assembly to selectively restrain the material during operation by applying a downward force on the material.

  • Publication number: 20240399468
    Abstract: A self-adjusting pocket hole jig system is presented having a base, an upright assembly operably connected to the base, a clamp and drill guide assembly operably connected to the upright assembly, and an actuator assembly operably connected to the clamp and drill guide assembly. The clamp and drill guide assembly is configured to move along the upright assembly in response to movement of a handle of the actuator assembly upward and downward. Movement of the handle downward automatically adjusts the height of the clamp and drill guide assembly based on thickness of the workpiece for drilling of a pocket hole. In one or more arrangements, rotation of the handle downward from a non-clamping position to a clamping position simultaneously locks the clamp and drill guide assembly in place along the upward assembly and clamps the workpiece between the clamp and drill guide assembly and a backstop of the base.

  • Publication number: 20240207950
    Abstract: In one or more arrangements, a pocket hole jig system having a stationary upright is presented. In one or more arrangements, the pocket hole jig system has a base, an upright assembly having a guide, a clamping assembly having a handle portion and a workpiece support member, and a drill guide assembly. In one or more arrangements, the guide of the upright assembly provides a path of travel for the drill guide assembly downward and forward towards the workpiece support member at an angle and upward and away from the workpiece support member at an angle, and wherein the workpiece support member is configured to move in a path parallel to the generally planar work surface of the upper surface of the base. In one or more arrangements, the workpiece support member is configured to travel a fixed distance between a fully disengaged position to a fully clamped position.
