Publication number: 20240399468Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Andrew Lyons, Shelby Strempke, Ethan Andersen, Timothy J. Forbes, Scott Schaaf, Derek Steelman, Kevin Shin

Patent number: 11058245Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: ELECTROLUX HOME PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Erin Smith Wright, Brian Roderman, David Singer, Justin Pendleton, Sara Roueche Dulski, Kevin Shin
