  • Patent number: 11936248
    Abstract: A power tool system includes a power tool having a tool housing. The tool housing includes a battery pack receptacle having a set of tool terminals. A brushless motor includes an output shaft operably coupled to drive a tool element, a stator having an outer diameter of approximately 60 mm to approximately 80 mm, and a stack length of approximately 75% to approximately 125% of the outer diameter of the stator. A controller is operably connected to the set of tool terminals and to the brushless motor to control power delivery to the brushless motor. A battery pack includes a battery pack housing connectable to the battery pack receptacle on the tool housing and a set of battery cells. The set of battery cells includes at least 15 battery cells each having a nominal voltage of approximately 3.6V and an impedance of approximately ?13 m?. A set of battery pack terminals is connectable to the set of tool terminals.

  • Patent number: 5361510
    Abstract: A picture frame hanging wire applicator tool includes an elongated body member, an end member attached to and projecting transversely from an end of the body member for holding the body member in relation to a top edge of a picture frame, and a series of longitudinally-spaced apart protuberances in the form of pegs carried along a front side of the body member. Each of the pegs carried by the body member provides a means for retaining a picture frame hanging wire at an apex point which is at a known distance from the top edge of the picture frame. Indicia labels can be provided on the back side of the frame for recording the distance between the hanging wire apex point and the top edge of the picture frame for use by the end user or person who later will hang the picture frame at a desired location on a wall.

  • Patent number: 4313694
    Abstract: In general, the present invention provides processes and apparatus for bending and straightening or otherwise installing marine pipelines at underwater installations, and includes systems in which marine pipelines are installed at water depths to 250 feet or more, utilizing an underwater chamber which may be operated with its interior wet, dry or combinations thereof. In one form, the system provides for interconnecting wellheads or other stations with manifolds or other stations and comprises running marine pipeline generally vertically downwardly from the water surface into the work chamber, mounted in operative association with an underwater wellhead or station, wherein the pipe is bent in the desired radius and through the desired angle and then straightened to exit from the chamber and wellhead in a substantially horizontal attitude such that it may then be pulled to a manifold or other underwater station with, for example, a wire line.
