  • Publication number: 20230069414
    Abstract: This invention relates to an improved staple and cleat removal tool more particularly to a staple removal tool designed to remove staple from hardware floors without risk of marring the wood surfaces thereof. The extraction tool device is composed of a handle integral into a flat plate shaft having a bottom prying member disposed at the other end thereof the prying member having a round edged semicircular about which the prying tip can be rotated when engaging surface abuts an underside of a crown portion of the staple. The prying tip has a wedge-shaped portion adapted to slide under the staples which firmly hold the staple in a fixed position after removal. This improved staple and cleat removal tool remover has a very distinct shape, but the contours do more than just provide a nice aesthetic component it also helps to give you leverage to pull out heavy duty staples and cleat.

  • Publication number: 20220195816
    Abstract: well pump wire clamp specifically designed to mount well pump wire cable to drop pipe located in the well casing. The well pump wire clamp generally comprises a first clamping member and a second clamping member configured for interlocking around the outer surface of the drop pipe keeping the wire cable safe from breakage. The first clamp member includes a U-shaped groove wide enough for engaging the wire cable and the tongue teeth located on the tapered tongue when inserted into the head will then engage the ratchet arm. The inner circumferential clamp surface is slightly modified by including a wire pipe rib to the first clamp member and a pipe rib to the second clamp member formed longitudinally along the inner circumferential clamp surface. When the well pump wire clamp is in a clamped position, the inner circumferential clamp surface and both pipe rib in engage and prevent the separation or disengaging of the well pump wire clamp from any skewing action.

  • Patent number: 11192228
    Abstract: The present invention is a floor covering fasteners and adhesives removal tool that allows for the quick removal of a staple, tack nail, and/or adhesives from a material without causing damage. The staple remover portion of the multi-purpose tool works with its forked blade for slipping underneath staples, and using the prying plate oval shape to free the staple. The tack strip nail puller portion of the multi-purpose tool having the nail slot is typically moved laterally relative to the nail. More specifically, the nail slot engages the nail where the force moving prying plate by the handle will sufficient to free the nail from the surface. The glue scraper portion of the multi-purpose tool has a bevel edge to allow the glue scraper to assume more nearly a right angular position to the floor surface sufficient to free the glue residue from the surface.

  • Patent number: 10932642
    Abstract: An improved groove and crack cleaning tool that is economical in cost to manufacture, includes a rigid blade head with a blade tip at the end of the blade edge adapted to dislodge debris build-up commonly found between outdoor surfaces. In addition, groove and crack cleaning tool has a handle adapter built into the blade head for the attachment of different types of handles. The blade head having different thickness and length provide a tool that is simple and easy to use on many outdoors surface and during tool operation, the blade edge glide will slide over the outdoor surface without causing damage to that surface. The blade head is angled to easily wedge under any debris lodged in groove or cracks forcing the lodged debris generally upward.
