  • Publication number: 20240399468
    Abstract: A self-adjusting pocket hole jig system is presented having a base, an upright assembly operably connected to the base, a clamp and drill guide assembly operably connected to the upright assembly, and an actuator assembly operably connected to the clamp and drill guide assembly. The clamp and drill guide assembly is configured to move along the upright assembly in response to movement of a handle of the actuator assembly upward and downward. Movement of the handle downward automatically adjusts the height of the clamp and drill guide assembly based on thickness of the workpiece for drilling of a pocket hole. In one or more arrangements, rotation of the handle downward from a non-clamping position to a clamping position simultaneously locks the clamp and drill guide assembly in place along the upward assembly and clamps the workpiece between the clamp and drill guide assembly and a backstop of the base.

  • Patent number: 11058245
    Abstract: A mountable hanging structure may be mounted between two intersecting walls forming a corner. The hanging structure may comprise a rod comprising a body with a curved section extending between first and second ends and a mounting assembly comprising two retainers. Each of the retainers may comprises (1) a base configured for mounting to one of the intersecting walls, (2) a flange extending from the base for receiving a respective end of the rod, wherein the flange comprises one or more holding elements configured to receive the ends of the rod and prevent the rod from rotating relative to the base, and (3) a shroud configured for connecting to the base and comprising a bore for receiving an end of the rod. The base and the shroud may comprise interlocking members for interlocking the shroud to the base to mount the rod.

  • Publication number: 20040234934
    Abstract: A method of providing an electronic curriculum system is described. The method includes providing editable audio-visual assets and providing automated tools for authoring an audio-visual asset, where the authoring includes editing editable audio-visual assets and contributed audio-visual assets into authored audio-visual assets. The editable audio-visual assets can be segmented to facilitate convenient editing. In some cases the segments are intelligently tagged. The intelligent tags assist the efficient searching of the editable assets. The editable assets can be provided by an asset provider over the Internet. Authored assets can be made available for others by uploading the assets onto the servers of the asset provider. Alternatively, hyper-links can be provided to the authored assets. Reasonable review and quality control is exercised over the authored assets by the asset provider before providing access to these authored assets by others.
