  • Patent number: 9233735
    Abstract: A floating dock mover that utilizes electrically powered devices to aid in relocating a floating dock whenever water levels change in a lake or reservoir. Electrical powered winching mechanisms are used to adjust cables lengths to maintain a position, or aid to obtain a new position of the dock in relation to the shoreline. Additionally, a motorized speed reducer is used to turn the wheels on the dock walkway, which moves the walkway and dock away from, or toward the shore. By electrically powering winch cable lengths, plus electrically powering the walkway wheels, the dock can be relocated horizontally and vertically and maintain a relative desired position in relation to a moving shoreline. An additional electrically motorized unit is used to operate an anchor which aids in maintaining a dock in a desired position.

  • Patent number: 5823084
    Abstract: A board straight-lining tool to be used in conjunction with a conventional circular blade table saw for the purpose of cutting a new straight and square edge longitudinal through a board. A board requiring this new edge is placed on a base of the board straight-liner, wherein a series of toggle clamps with pressure collapsing tips are toggled closed. This secures the straight-liner to the board. A separate detachable guard support is secured to the table saw with the circular blade protruding vertically through the guard support or the blade may protrude to the fence side of the guard support. The guard support keeps the board on the same plane as the table saw table and also adds a safety feature to aid in preventing the straight-liner from coming into contact with the circular blade during the cutting operation. The board is guided past the circular saw blade while keeping the straight-liner against the table saw fence.
