Publication number: 20230383780Abstract: The present disclosure describes an anchor device for receiving and securing a shaft thereto. The device includes an outer housing within which a jaw assembly is secured. The outer housing of the device may in turn be secured to or within a support structure such as a building component. Jaw components of the jaw assembly may be threaded. Furthermore, the jaw assembly has at least two configurations. In a first configuration, at least one jaw component is positioned away from a central shaft axis against the biasing force of a biasing member. A removable or reconfigurable holding member or stop member selectively secures the at least one jaw component in this position. A second configuration is the result of the holding member being reconfigured by the inserted shaft. The shaft triggers movement of the at least one jaw component toward the central shaft axis and into contact with the shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Jessica WILEY, Yanchao WANG, Matthew CHAMBERLAIN, Jack DUNNING, John HORKY

Publication number: 20080078470Abstract: A sensing mechanism (12) for detecting user contact with an active portion (26) of the power tool (10) is provided. In addition, a safety mechanism (14) for preventing prolonged user contact with the active portion (26) of a power tool (10) is provided. The safety mechanism (14) is configured to actuate upon receipt of a signal from the sensing mechanism (12). According to a first aspect, the safety mechanism (14) is arranged to rapidly displace the active portion (26) away from a user extremity. Alternatively, according to a second aspect, the safety mechanism (14) is arranged to rapidly urge an extremity of the user away from the active portion (26) of the power tool (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2007Publication date: April 3, 2008Inventors: Michael O'Branion, David Carrier, Adan Ayala, Michael Baron, James Bascom, Frederick Bean, Mark Brunson, Warren Ceroll, Peter Chaikowsky, David Doss, Robert Gehret, John Horky, Daryl Meredith, Philip Miller, William Stumpf, Matthew Webster, Qiang Zhang
