Patent number: 7467651Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a quick attach and detach mechanism for a tool attachment such as a router attachment for a router. The attachment system includes a mounting adapter which may be integrally formed with the router housing or attached to the router housing as a bolt-on plate. The system works by vertically installing the tool attachment with the mounting adapter and then twisting to secure the tool attachment to the mounting adapter. A rotational lock is provided to prevent the tool attachment from inadvertently backing off or coming loose. This lock can be manually actuated to allow for quick detachment when desired. The tool attachment system is shown in association with a router which has several disclosed benefits, however there may also be applications of the system in other types of tool attachments for which coverage is also sought.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2005Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Nomis LLCInventors: Joe Karkosch, John R. Kochanski, Edward Adkins, Patrick J. Barkdoll

Patent number: 7343945Abstract: A milling system for milling patterns into a workpiece is disclosed. The system comprises a baseplate having an aperture and a template disposed within the aperture and positionable in a plurality of registrated orientations relative to the baseplate. The baseplate is formed of two separable baseplate parts. A system for vertically supporting a rotary cutting tool is also disclosed. The system comprises a base, a plurality of posts extending upwardly from the base, and a tool support for supporting the rotary tool. The tool support has a plurality of sleeves, one associated with each of the posts. The sleeves slidably receive respective ones of the posts. The tool support further includes springs for biasing the tool support away from the base.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2005Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Nomis LLCInventors: Karl-Heinz Schelberg, Jurgen Mathee, Joe Karkosch, John R.
