Publication number: 20110254213Abstract: The subject invention provides a portable saw table assembly for cutting a material longitudinally, laterally, and at various angles thereto. The assembly includes a first and a second table rail being parallel and spaced from each other and each extending between a proximal end and a distal end. A saw rail is moveably supported by the first and the second table rails for moving longitudinally along the table rails between the proximal and the distal ends and a mounting plate is moveably supported by the saw rails to allow movement of the mounting plate laterally along the saw rail between the first table rail and the second table rail. A saw plate is rotatably supported by the mounting plate for carrying a saw to cut the material. A guide bar is disposed diagonally relative to the first and the second table rails and engages the saw plate to guide the saw plate diagonally in response to simultaneous movement of the saw rail longitudinally and the mounting plate laterally.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2011Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: TAPCO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: J.

Publication number: 20080292868Abstract: A shutter assembly, or other architectural structure or exterior/interior decorative trim element, having a foam insert at least partially enveloped by a cementitious shell. The assembly is molded from cementitious slurry, including gypsum cement and a latex/water mixture. An amount of the slurry is added onto a bottom mold surface portion to a desired depth and/or weight. The foam insert is provided with a plurality of spacer elements disposed in a surface thereof, which is placed atop the slurry in a desired orientation, whereupon an additional amount of the slurry is then added so as to at least partially envelop the foam core or insert. Engagement members on the top mold portion are then brought into contact with the spacer elements so that the foam insert remains at least partially submerged within the slurry. A top portion of the spacer elements can be removed from a base portion of the spacer element to reveal a bore formed in the base portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2008Publication date: November 27, 2008Inventor: J.

Publication number: 20080141608Abstract: A shutter assembly having a foam insert or core enveloped by a cementitious or urethane-based shell. The shell can also be provided with an optional hanger member that allows the shutter assembly to be mounted to a dwelling via a bracket affixed to an exterior wall surface thereof. The assembly can be molded from a cementitious slurry including gypsum cement and water, or alternatively, from a two part urethane filled with lightweight fly ash. An appropriate amount of the slurry or urethane-based material is added onto a bottom mold surface portion to a desired depth. If the hanger member is to be used, it is placed onto the bottom mold surface portion prior to the introduction of the slurry or urethane-based material. The foam insert or core is placed atop the slurry or urethane-based material in a desired orientation, whereupon the top mold surface portion is closed over the bottom mold surface portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2007Publication date: June 19, 2008Inventor: J.

Publication number: 20080028711Abstract: A shutter assembly having a foam insert or core enveloped by a cementitious shell is provided with integrated spaced and opposed top and bottom hanger members that allow the shutter assembly to be mounted to an exterior wall of a dwelling or other structures via spaced and opposed brackets affixed to the exterior wall. The shutter assembly can be mounted to an exterior wall of a dwelling or other structure by selectively engaging the top and bottom hanger members with corresponding top and bottom bracket members mounted to the exterior wall of the dwelling or other structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2007Publication date: February 7, 2008Inventors: J. Richard Logan, Thomas Baker, Andrew Leslie

Publication number: 20080005968Abstract: A shutter assembly (24) mounts to a structure (20) and provides storm and security protection to an opening (22). The assembly comprises an upper track (28) and a lower track (30) each extending between first and second proximal and distal ends (34, 38), respectively. A pair of decorative shutters (26) are spaced from one another and disposed adjacent to the tracks (28, 30). A plurality of panel assemblies (46) are in sliding engagement with the upper and lower tracks (28, 30) for covering the opening (22) and each comprises upper and lower rails (52, 54) and a pair of stiles (56) extending therebetween and a panel (58). The panel (58) defines a retention portion (66) disposed along side edges (64) extending outwardly from a plane (68) of the panel (58). Each of the stiles (56) define a stile channel (72) having a configuration corresponding to the retention portion (66) to create an interference fit between the stile channel (72) and the panel (58) for allowing movement when the panel (58) flexes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2006Publication date: January 10, 2008Applicant: TAPCO INTERNATIONALInventors: Michael C. Clark, Nathan Greenway, Brad Kutler, J. Richard Logan, Clyde G. Allen

Patent number: 7055563Abstract: A collapsible table assembly having improved portability. A mechanism interconnects the table and supporting legs for moving the legs between a diverging supporting position, a folding position, and a storage position. A saw track assembly includes an upper platform for receiving a cutting device and a lower platform for supporting a workpiece during cutting connected to the upper platform. Each of the upper and lower platform are disposed above the table. A guide pin pivotally attaches the saw track to the table for allowing the saw track to pivot through a plane parallel to the table. A plurality of material supports supported by the table rotate between a first material supporting position for supporting a workpiece and a second unobstructing position for allowing the saw track to freely pivot through the plane without contacting the material supports.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2004Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Tapco International CorporationInventor: J Richard Logan
