  • Publication number: 20230122037
    Abstract: A power tool guide having a tool plate adapted to receive a power tool. The plate has a power tool engagement clamp to engage a power tool and connect the power tool to said tool plate without the use of tools. The tool plate has opposed channels and a control lock. A support base has opposed guide rails, each of the guide rails has first and second ends. The tool plate has opposed channels that are removably mounted upon the support base opposed guide rails between the first and second ends. The channels allow the tool plate to slide upon opposed guide rails and to be easily removed from the rails. The control lock locks the tool plate with respect to the support base at a desired position along the opposed guide rails a spaced distance from the first and second ends. The support base has an edge extending from at least one of the guide rails adjacent one of the first and second ends.

  • Patent number: 11601001
    Abstract: Portable power bank system. In one embodiment, a portable power bank system may include a portable power bank and a software application. The portable power bank may include a power bank housing, one or more batteries internal to the power bank housing, and one or more electrical receptacles that are defined by the power bank housing. Each of the one or more electrical receptacles may be configured to selectively provide electrical power from the one or more batteries. The software application may include one or more computer-readable instructions that are configured, when executed by one or more processors of a portable computing device, to cause the portable computing device to communicate with the portable power bank over a wireless network to receive information regarding a current state of the portable power bank and to present the current state of the portable power bank on the portable computing device.

  • Patent number: 10233901
    Abstract: A wind turbine for capturing energy from a fluid flow comprises a rotor having a rotational axis and a plurality of rotor blades 104 arranged for rotation about the rotational axis. The rotor blades extend longitudinally in a direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis. A shield member V3 is arranged to shield some of the rotor blades from an oncoming wind where incidence of the wind on those rotor blades would act against rotation of the rotor in the direction of rotation. The rotor blades 104 are distributed about the circumference of the rotor and are spaced from the rotational axis, defining a substantially cylindrical space within the rotor through which the wind passes. The shield member V3 is defined by a radially inward surface and a radially outward surface. The radially inward surface follows substantially a portion of the circumference of the rotor. The radially outward surface of the shield member V3 comprises a first portion which meets the radially inward surface.

  • Patent number: 10093016
    Abstract: A portable tool stand having automatically deployable legs. The tool stand has a body with a work surface and opposed ends. Deployable legs are pivotally mounted to the tool stand. The legs move between a stored position adjacent to the body and a support position wherein the legs are deployed to support the body. Retractable arms are mounted to each end of the body and slide with respect to the body. The deployable legs and the arms are operably connected such that sliding the arms with respect to the body moves the legs between the stored position and the support position.
