Patent number: 10218113Abstract: A charging module usable with a conductive bus having a center rail disposed intermediate a first conductive rail and a second conductive rail. The charging module has a base on which is disposed a centered electrical contact and a first plurality of electrical contacts. The centered electrical contact is arranged on the base such that the centered electrical contact will engage with the center rail when the housing is placed into a use position on the conductive bus.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: IDEAL Industries, Inc.Inventors: Michael Weiby, James Tyrrell, Justin Cerutti, Andrew Meyer

Patent number: 9682806Abstract: A cable lacing tie device includes a head assembly and a cable lacing tape. The head assembly being configured to retain a first portion of the cable lacing tape within the head assembly and having a length of the cable lacing tape extending from the head assembly. The head assembly further adapted to retain a second portion of the cable lacing tape extending from the head assembly. The methods of using the cable lacing tie devices include retaining a first portion of a cable lacing tape in a head assembly, looping the cable lacing tape around a plurality of objects, and retaining a second portion of the cable lacing tape within the head assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: IDEAL Industries, Inc.Inventors: Alan E. Zantout, Robert W. Sutter, Michael Weiby, James Davidson

Patent number: 9388885Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a drive mechanism for translating rotational output from a moveable member of a rotary tool to an interchangeable attachment having a movable member. The drive mechanism includes a rotatable drive shaft sized and shaped for insertion into the rotary member of the rotary tool, a connector adapted to selectively secure the drive mechanism to the interchangeable attachment, a reciprocating drive member adapted to contact the movable member of the interchangeable attachment and to cause the movable member to move, when the interchangeable attachment is secured to the drive mechanism, and a transmission configured to translate rotation of the drive shaft into reciprocating motion of the drive member.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: IDEAL Industries, Inc.Inventors: Bruce Hartranft, Raymond R. Ferriss, Michael Weiby, Ian Rittof

Patent number: 7980538Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a jig for holding a workpiece using forces provided by a clamp having a first clamping member, a second clamping member, and a connecting member operable for moving the first clamping member relative to the second clamping member. The jig includes an elongated base member and an elongated support member extending upward from the base member. The support member has a clamp engagement surface for engaging the first clamping member of the clamp, a generally vertically oriented upper surface disposed opposite of the clamp engagement surface for engaging a lateral side of the workpiece, a generally horizontally oriented support surface extending from the support member disposed below the upper surface for engaging a bottom side of the workpiece, and an aperture sized and arranged to accept the connecting member of the clamp.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2007Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Sears Brands, L.L.C.Inventor: Michael Weiby
