  • Publication number: 20230184439
    Abstract: A fire pit includes a wall panel that cooperates to define a lateral boundary of a burn chamber. The sidewall also defines an upwardly facing opening into the burn chamber. An ash catch is removably received in the fire pit through the upwardly facing opening and may be moved downwardly through the burn chamber to a resting location where the ash catch defines a lower boundary of the burn chamber. The wall panel has an exterior wall segment spaced apart from an interior wall segment to define a passageway there between. The wall panel has a lower opening through which air may flow up into the passageway. The interior wall segment includes a plurality of openings therein through with air may flow out of the passageway into the burn chamber to help fuel a fire in the burn chamber.

  • Publication number: 20220178545
    Abstract: A fire pit that is constructed to be sold in a disassembled state is shown and described. In the disassembled state, the various components (as discussed herein) are in a relatively flat configuration and are configured to be assembled by the end user. In the disassembled state, the components contain relatively less void space between the components, in comparison to in the assembled state. In the disassembled state, the components may be packed into a relatively small packaging, compared to an amount of packaging that would be required to package the fire pit once it is assembled. Embodiments of the invention thus allow the packaging of a fire pit using less packaging than traditional fire pits and/or allow for a larger fire pit to be packaged in a similar amount of packaging.

  • Patent number: 7516704
    Abstract: A portable paint station that includes a work table and a pair of legs that are positionable in a retracted position and an extended position. In one form, the paint station provides a work surface that may be selectively positioned at two distinct heights. In another form, the paint station provides a work surface with a roller tray recess that may be selectively covered to resist the formation of a skin on paint that is located in the recess. In a further form, the paint station provides a work table with a pair of legs. At least one set of the legs has a handle aperture that may be employed to hand carry the paint station on its side. In yet another form, the paint station includes a roller tray assembly that facilitates the short-term storage of a paint roller that is loaded with paint.

  • Patent number: 7207118
    Abstract: A multi-purpose strap for use with a laser tripod having a head portion and a base portion includes a flexible member, a first coupling component located at an end of the flexible member, and a second coupling component located at an opposite end of the flexible member. The flexible member when in a first configuration is adaptable to be coupled to the head portion using the first coupling component. The flexible member in a second configuration is also adaptable to be coupled to the tripod base using the second coupling member to form a shoulder strap.

  • Patent number: 7111406
    Abstract: A laser calibration device includes a housing and a pendulum pivotally coupled to the housing and suspending downwards therefrom. A laser deck is mounted to the pendulum. At least one laser for emitting a laser line is mounted to the laser deck. The laser includes a laser barrel rotatable within a barrel holder and a laser lens pivotally coupled to the laser barrel. A first adjustment mechanism is mounted between the laser deck and the laser for adjusting pitch. A second adjustment mechanism is mounted between the barrel holder and the laser barrel for adjusting roll. A third adjustment mechanism is mounted between the laser barrel and the laser lens for adjusting crowning. A fourth adjustment mechanism mounted to the pendulum for adjusting a center of gravity of the pendulum.
