Patent number: 10508428Abstract: A drain clearing device includes an elongated shaft having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The elongated shaft has a first set of barbs spaced apart along a length of the shaft on a first side of the shaft between the first and second ends and a second set of barbs spaced apart along the length of the shaft on a second side of the shaft between the first and second ends. The drain clearing device further includes a collecting member having a fixed end and a free end. The fixed end is coupled to the elongated shaft proximate the first end and the free end is movable relative to the fixed end from a collapsed position to an extended position, in which the elongated shaft is substantially surrounded by the collecting member. The collecting member is configured to contain debris from a drain.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: TTI (MACAO COMMERCIAL OFFSHORE) LIMITEDInventors: Halle Elliott, Parke Pleasants, Julia H. Moylan, James A. Keith

Patent number: 10179383Abstract: A power tool including a power base and a tool head. The power base includes a trigger and a motor such that the trigger actuatable to drive the motor. The tool head is driven by the motor, and includes a lockout mechanism that inhibits actuation of the trigger in a locked. The lockout mechanism is manually rotatable from the locked position to an unlocked position in which the trigger is actuatable to drive the motor.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2015Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: TECHTRONIC POWER TOOLS TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: James A. Keith, Ronald C. McCurry

Publication number: 20080203259Abstract: A bracket includes a body with a first clamp and a second clamp. The first clamp is pivotably mounted and operatively engaged with a first lever that is pivotable between a release position and a locking position. A second lever is operatively engaged with the first lever to prevent the first lever from pivoting from a locking position to a release position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2007Publication date: August 28, 2008Inventors: Ryan Harrison, Robert E. McCracken, James A. Keith

Publication number: 20080156923Abstract: A rotatable spool includes a frame with a central rod and a hollow cylinder that is rotatable about the central rod. The cylinder includes an inscribed helical thread that is formed along the length of the cylinder and a central axis parallel with the central rod. The operator is disposed around a portion of the cylinder and includes a projection engaged with the helical thread such that linear movement of the operator causes the cylinder to rotate about its central axis. A reel is rotatably mounted on the frame and a clutch selectively couples the cylinder and the reel when the operator is depressed toward the frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2007Publication date: July 3, 2008Inventors: Wade F. Burch, James A. Keith, Max J. Younger

Patent number: 4012850Abstract: A simulator of a radiographic camera providing signals representing the magnitude of radiant energy incident upon the camera and the location of the radiant energy relative to the camera. The simulator is composed of electrical circuits which simulate the repetition frequency as a function of the amplitude of radioactive events and provide a series of amplitude modulated pulses having a distribution of amplitudes according to the frequency of occurrence of the amplitudes. A circuit providing randomly occurring values of location coordinates produces X and Y location signals.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1975Date of Patent: March 22, 1977Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventor: James A.
