Publication number: 20070221260Abstract: A brush and roller cleaner includes a hollow canister to receive a spray wand. A control knob pivots with respect to the canister to direct pressurized liquid from apertures of the spray wand. A top cap assembly mates with the canister in one of two positions, 180 degrees offset from one another. The top cap assembly has a tool holding assembly that is capable of holding a paint tool or roller. The tool holding assembly rotates in response to the liquid output from the spray wand apertures. The top cap assembly is capable of holding a roller in a first or second position. The roller rotates within the canister in response to the liquid output from the spray wand apertures to clean the roller cover. A handle for the cleaner supports a roller frame clip for holding the roller in a first or second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2006Publication date: September 27, 2007Inventors: Robert Watters, Romeo Graham, Joseph Boucher, Michael Sirois, Tracine Andrus

Publication number: 20070108683Abstract: A portable workbench includes top members, a support structure, a frame, wheels and a toe plate. The top members lie in a common plane and define a working surface with opposing side portions that define clamping surfaces. The support structure supports the top members and permits selectively traversing at least one of the pair of top members toward another to permit a workpiece to be clamped therebetween. The frame includes collapsible legs. The wheels and toe plate are coupled to the frame adjacent to each other. The workbench is positionable in a raised position, a collapsed position and a hand truck position. The toe plate is movable from a retracted position to an extended position to permit the portable workbench to be employed as a hand truck.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2007Publication date: May 17, 2007Inventors: Mark Lawrence, Michael Sirois, Robert Watters, Jason Busschaert, Tong Yanbin, Han Tao, Mark Robson

Publication number: 20050150724Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2005Publication date: July 14, 2005Inventors: Gregory Snider, Robert Gifford, Thomas Wheeler, Alfred Judge, Christopher Murray, Mark Lawrence, Marcus Bosch, Jason Busschaert, Robert Watters, Aldo Balatti, Michael Sirois, Cliff Read, Steven Canova

Patent number: 6540092Abstract: The present invention relates to an storage adapter used for engaging and supporting the stock/frame assembly of both the Contender® or Encore® brands of Thompson/Center Arms, Inc.® firearms. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stock/frame assembly is stored in a vertical position above the floor of the gun cabinet/safe through the use of two individual components: (i) a novel storage adapter and (ii) a storage receiver which was previously-disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/705,081. The storage adapter component is comprised of a first end and a second end. The storage adapter engages, supports, and secures the stock/frame assembly by making use of the hinge pin of the firearm and a securing means (preferably a securing strap) to secure the stock/frame assembly to the second end of the storage adapter. The storage adapter, by use of a hanging means (preferably a hanging pin) in its first end, is then placed into (i.e.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2001Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: On Target TechnologiesInventor: Michael A.

Patent number: 6364135Abstract: The present invention is a receiver for supporting the lug end of a detachable barrel of a gun in a position that reduces the likelihood of the barrel being damaged during storage. The receiver is designed to be installed in a gun cabinet or gun safe and support a barrel by the pins at the lug end. The barrel is maintained in a vertical position above the floor of the gun cabinet or safe. By storing the barrel in a secured vertical position it is less likely that the barrel will be jarred thus knocking a gun sight out of alignment. In addition, by suspending the barrel above the floor of the gun cabinet or safe, a heavy object can not fall on the barrel causing damage. The receiver is a blank manufactured out of metal, wood, plastic, or ceramic that has a slot that provides non-friction support for the detachable barrel of a gun. The slot can either be open or, in an alternate embodiment, closed thus forming an aperture.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2000Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: On Target TechnologiesInventors: Michael A. Sirois, James W. Geekie
