Patent number: 7530175Abstract: A twin level assembly including two levels, wherein one of the two levels also contains an indicating device for performing a separate function, is disclosed. The twin level assembly comprises a first level and a second level that is selectively receivable into the first level through an opening in an end cap and into a receptacle of the first level. The second level is held in the first level by a retention mechanism. The first level and the second level each have at least one bubble vial for visually displaying level indications, while the indicating device in the second level is a type of stud sensor, laser pointer, metal detector, wire detector, or a sonic measurement device.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2007Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Benjamin John Strutt, Oleksly P. Sergyeyenko, Gregory Scott Snider

Patent number: 7516704Abstract: A portable paint station that includes a work table and a pair of legs that are positionable in a retracted position and an extended position. In one form, the paint station provides a work surface that may be selectively positioned at two distinct heights. In another form, the paint station provides a work surface with a roller tray recess that may be selectively covered to resist the formation of a skin on paint that is located in the recess. In a further form, the paint station provides a work table with a pair of legs. At least one set of the legs has a handle aperture that may be employed to hand carry the paint station on its side. In yet another form, the paint station includes a roller tray assembly that facilitates the short-term storage of a paint roller that is loaded with paint.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2005Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Gregory Scott Snider, Robert H. Gifford, Thomas J. Wheeler, Alfred H. Judge, Christopher J. Murray, Mark Lawrence, Marcus W.

Patent number: 7513056Abstract: A level is disclosed with a sliding measurement system. The level includes a planar upper surface, a planar lower surface and a web extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. The web includes at least one elongate channel to which a track having an inwardly facing slot is mounted. The level further includes one or more pods slideably received on the track in the inwardly facing slot. The pod includes a generally cylindrical female member having upper and lower ridges extending outwardly therefrom, and a generally cylindrical male member configured to receive a marking instrument, the male member being matingly received in the female member. The upper and lower ridges of the female member are configured to be received in the inner slot of the track and are slideable thereon. The level further includes at least one bubble level vial mounted to the web of the body of the level.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2007Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Robert J.

Patent number: 7503124Abstract: Apparatuses are provided for various tools that incorporate materials with a high coefficient of friction and a low coefficient of friction. The materials with a low coefficient of friction may be mounted on a tool and have a perpendicular movement to the tool. This perpendicular movement may be implemented with a spring mechanism. The materials with a high coefficient of friction may be mounted on the tool in a fixed position. The tool may be pressed against a surface, first engaging the materials with a low coefficient of friction. The tool may freely move across the surface while the materials with a low coefficient of friction maintain contact with the surface. As the tool is continually pressed to the surface, the materials with a high coefficient of friction subsequently make contact with the surface, thereby causing the lateral movement of the tool with respect to the surface to be restricted and stabilized. An example of the tool may be a spirit or carpenter level.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2007Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Robert J. B. Hobden, Gregory Scott Snider, Oleksiy P. Sergyeyenko

Patent number: 7237688Abstract: A storage container having a unique hinge arrangement is provided. The container includes a cover and base portion having hinge portions extending therefrom. The hinge portions are molded from a die configuration that creates adjacent cavities formed vertically and laterally. The hinge portions are arranged such that the cover and base interfit to reveal a continuous passage. A pin is inserted through the continuous passage completing a workable hinge. The storage container includes internal lateral wall sections on the cover and base having tabs extending therefrom. The tabs are configured to accept removable spacers. The spacers include side walls that are contoured such that an object may be easily removed without becoming caught in an angled corner. Transparent lids are releasably latched to the inside of the cover and base. The latches for the lids are located in a position that requires each lid to be locked prior to closing the case.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2006Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: James E. Pangerc, Gregory Scott Snider

Patent number: 7228983Abstract: A display package for a storage container includes a primary and secondary blister package. The primary blister package includes an opening incorporated thereon allowing a user to rotate a cover of the storage container through the opening about its hinge. A base of the storage container is retained within the primary blister package thereby precluding the user from withdrawing the whole storage container from the primary blister package. The secondary blister package includes a plurality of tool accessories arranged therein. The secondary blister package is disposed within an extension section of the primary blister package and positioned above the base of the storage container.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2003Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: James Pangerc, Gregory Scott Snider, Daniel G Findle, Jennifer R Ervin, Timothy B Bailey

Patent number: 6820341Abstract: A hacksaw in which one or more perishable hacksaw blades are conveniently stored and accessed. The hacksaw includes a beam, which defines a blade storage cavity, a handle and a fastening member that is employed to fixedly fasten the beam to the handle. The fastening member is positioned relative to the beam such that it does not interfere with the movement of the hacksaw blade(s) in the blade storage cavity. A plug, which frictionally engages at least one of the fastening member, the beam and the handle, is employed to seal off an end of the blade storage cavity.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2002Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventor: Gregory Scott Snider
