  • Saw buck
    Patent number: 9004477
    Abstract: An apparatus for holding a log or similar material during cutting is disclosed. The apparatus includes a log holder having a housing and a saddle. A cavity formed in the housing is tapered along a longitudinal axis for receiving an end of a log. The saddle is disposed adjacent to the tapered cavity and offset from the longitudinal axis to inhibit rotation of the log during cutting. A pole and a base rotatably support the log holder in the elevated position.
    Type: Grant

  • Pneumatic in-line lubricator
    Patent number: 6659229
    Abstract: An in-line lubricator for a pneumatic tool system includes a body defining a fluid reservoir and a working passageway and an actuator positionable within the body. The actuator includes an elongated body having a transfer cavity formed therein which is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir when the actuator is in a first position and which is in fluid communication with the working passageway when the actuator is in the second position. Movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position transports a predetermined amount of fluid from the fluid reservoir into the working passageway.
