  • Patent number: 11597105
    Abstract: A blade retention mechanism that includes a body and a catch. The catch is configured to engage a bit. A knurled nut is configured to engage the catch and the body such that it is movable. When the nut is moved between a first position and a second position the catch moves between a first position and a second position. A v-groove is formed in the body and is configured to receive and retain a bit when the catch is in the first position.

  • Patent number: 10004327
    Abstract: A workstation for alternatively configuring a conventional desk for use while sitting and use while standing. The workstation includes an extendable column formed of multiple nested sections. The nested sections are configured to telescope such that the column can be extended. The workstation is configured to support a monitor and a tray. The extendable column contains a counter balance mechanism that is configured to resist collapsing of the column. A movement coupling mechanism is provided that it is such that motion of the first section relative to the second section is transmitted to the third section such that the third section moves a corresponding amount relative to the second section.

  • Publication number: 20110042911
    Abstract: The cart (1) disclosed herein may comprise a vertically moveable work station (10) with a platform (12), a column (14) for supporting the work station, at least one cable (26), and a flexible cable carrier (28). The column may include a vertically fixed part and a vertically moveable part that can be moved vertically relative to the vertically fixed part to cause vertical movement of the work station. The column has a vertically oriented opening therein. The at least one cable may be disposed within the vertically oriented opening in the column. The flexible cable carrier may be disposed within the vertically oriented opening in the column. The at least one cable may be connected to the flexible cable carrier and the flexible cable carrier is configured to cause the at least one cable to follow a substantially consistent path during repeated vertical movements of the work station.

  • Publication number: 20080282907
    Abstract: A food chilling device has a generally cylindrical elongate body with an outer wall, a closed end, an open end, a reservoir within the outer wall between the open and closed ends, and a reference axis oriented lengthwise between the open and closed ends. A closure assembly is removably installed on the device to close off the open end of the body and to seal the reservoir. In one example, a first handle extends outward in a radial direction relative to the reference axis of the body and has a first grip spaced outward beyond the outer wall. A second handle extends in a lengthwise direction and has a second grip spaced from the open end of the body. In another example, the closure assembly has an annular collar surrounding the open end of the body and with an inward extending circumferential shoulder. A cap with a stopper section engages the collar to close off the open end of the body.

  • Patent number: 6772816
    Abstract: A portable display case includes four panels with adjacent panels being connected by pivots defining substantially parallel axes. The panels are pivotable between a closed position in which the panels are in face-to-face contiguous opposing relationship and an open position. Two center panels include handle members pivotally connected thereto at upper edges and wheelable members connected thereto at lower edges. The handle members and the wheelable members include recesses and projections for registering with projections and recesses, respectively, of adjacent outermost panel members. The recess and projections facilitate the stacking of identical portable displays atop each other. The handle members and the base members pivot through 180° for respectively latching and unlatching the panel members in their respective closed and open positions.
