  • Patent number: 11052469
    Abstract: A self-adjusting pocket hole jig includes a base having a clamp end and a toggle end, a guide carried by the base and reciprocally movable between a raised position and a lowered position. A clamp assembly is carried by the base and reciprocally movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. An adjustment mechanism is coupled between the guide and the clamp assembly. The adjustment mechanism is arranged to move the clamp assembly in a forward direction to the engaged position and correspondingly move the guide in a downward direction to the lowered position, and arranged to move the clamp assembly in a rearward direction to the disengaged position and correspondingly move the guide in an upward direction to the raised position.

  • Patent number: 10144068
    Abstract: A pocket hole jig including a base having a clamp end and a toggle end, a guide carried by the base intermediate the clamp end and the toggle end and a clamp assembly carried by the base intermediate the clamp end and the guide, and reciprocally movable between an engaged position when moved toward the guide and a disengaged position when moved away from the guide. The clamp assembly includes a carriage slidably carried by the base, a clamp arm extending above and carried by carriage, a foot coupled to the clamp arm for engaging a workpiece, and a platform extending from the carriage overlying the base for receiving a workpiece and preventing the workpiece from contacting the base.
