  • Publication number: 20240023795
    Abstract: A flexible circuit assembly for a medical device, the circuit assembly including a circuit board having at least one bending portion and at least one flat portion, and a mechanical support structure coupled to the circuit board. The mechanical support structure includes a first region and a second region extending distally from the first region. The at least one bending portion of the circuit board is a portion of an arm, the arm extending distally from the flat portion, and the at least one bending portion of the circuit board is coupled to the second region of the mechanical support structure.

  • Publication number: 20220009065
    Abstract: The dolly arm release tool is a tool that safely releases the dolly arm on a set of trailers allowing the operator to have three points of contact throughout the entirety of movement. As described above, the dolly arm release tool streamlines two useful applications into one tool and allows the operator the ability to carry only one piece of equipment to accomplish multiple tasks.

  • Patent number: 11059151
    Abstract: An impact socket includes a socket body having a first end and an opposing second end, the socket body defining a first fastener driving structure at the second end. The impact socket includes a collar assembly carried by the socket body, the collar assembly defining a second fastener driving structure. The collar assembly includes a support sleeve and a base sleeve that define a chamber configured to constrain movement of a securing mechanism relative to the socket body, the securing mechanism configured to selectively secure the collar assembly to the socket body when the collar assembly is disposed in at least one of a first position relative to the second end of socket body and a second position relative to the second end of socket body.

  • Patent number: 9283661
    Abstract: An impact socket includes a socket body having a first end configured to mount to a drive shaft of an impact wrench and an opposing second end, the socket body defining at least one socket body fastener driving structure at the second end. The impact socket includes a collar assembly carried by the socket body, the collar assembly defining at least one collar assembly fastener driving structure. The collar assembly is configured to move linearly between (i) a first position relative to the socket body where a distal end of the collar assembly extends beyond a distal end of the socket body and (ii) a second position where the distal end is disposed at least equidistant to the second end of the socket body.

  • Publication number: 20130283983
    Abstract: A ratchet wrench is configured as a double-ended and reversible bolt-through wrench configured to actuate four different fastener sizes. The wrench can include socket hubs that can be provided in high-visibility colors to provide easy identification by the user. The socket hubs can include extension portions which extend beyond the respective faces of the handle to provide adequate contact between the socket hubs and a target fastener. Each socket hub includes a corresponding rotational direction controller or shifter that allows the socket hub to reverse it direction of rotational actuation relative to a fastener.
