  • Patent number: 11858291
    Abstract: A carpenter square including a triangular plate and a base. The base has a corner at an intersection of a first side and first end. The corner extends into a pivot notch defined in a first side edge of the plate. During use, the base's corner may be placed on a side wall of a workpiece and the plate is pivoted about a pivot axis extending along the base's corner. An angular measurement may be marked on the workpiece's surface when a selected angle on the plate aligns with an edge of the workpiece that extends along an intersection of the workpiece's surface and side wall. First and second regions of the plate extend outwardly beyond opposite ends of the base. Each of the first and second regions includes a distance measurement scale and the first region further includes one or more angular measurement scales.

  • Publication number: 20230256528
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a joiner jig that is configured to be used with a Festool Domino tool. The joiner jig includes a base table adapted to operably engage with a joiner tool. The joiner jig also includes a fence operably engaged with the base table. The joiner jig also includes an adjustable protractor assembly selectively operably engaged with the base table and the fence. The adjustable protractor assembly is configured to be selectively pivotally adjustable to at least one predetermined angle from a range of angles.

  • Patent number: 11560270
    Abstract: An actuator for a spray can. The actuator includes a housing for attachment to an aerosol can covering a stem valve. A finger operating button structure is engaged with the housing for engaging the stem valve. A rotary two-way diverter valve is supported within the housing and rotatably engaged with the finger operating button structure. In a spray position/straw down, the two-way diverter valve directs spray through a first direct spray nozzle. In a second straw position/straw up, to make use of an adjustable straw, the diverter valve is rotated to engage a straw spray passage of the diverter valve in fluid communication with an adjustable rotary spray tip and engaged straw. By rotating the adjustable rotary spray tip to an aligned position, the tip substantially blocks the straw spray passage to provide a drip mode, where drops of fluid exit the straw. A flexible tip may optionally be provided on the straw to enable bending and retention of the flexible tip to a desired position.

  • Patent number: 11370600
    Abstract: An adjustable actuator for a spray can. The actuator includes a housing for attachment to an aerosol can covering a stem valve. A finger operating button structure is engaged with the housing for engaging the stem valve. A rotary two-way diverter valve is supported within the housing and rotatably engaged with the finger operating button structure. In a spray position/straw down, the two-way diverter valve directs spray through a first direct spray nozzle. In a second straw position/straw up, the diverter valve is rotated to engage a straw spray passage of the diverter valve in fluid communication with a spray tip and engaged straw. A sliding tab member engaged between and on the housing and button structure is used to adjust the desired amount of fluid flow.
