Abstract: An apparatus and method for coating the peripheral surfaces of a large plastic television frame. The frame is mounted on a special metal fixture having a surface that complements the peripheral surfaces of the frame. Composite material on a foil having good abrasion resistance, good chemical resistance, selective adhesion properties and high gloss characteristics is bonded to the plastic frame using heat and pressure, but bonding does not occur between the metal fixture and the composite material even though the same heat and pressure are applied to the composite material and to the fixture. The bonding apparatus includes a conveyor system, a foil dispensing roll, a foil take-up roll, a heated roller and structure to move the heated roller so as to squeeze the foil between the roller and the moving fixture and frame assembly. A complete manufacturing system includes a frame molding machine, the bonding apparatus, an inspection station and a packaging station.

Abstract: A power hand tool foot assembly includes a platform having an arch portion. A swivel lock is within the arch portion, with a mount connecting the swivel lock to the tool housing. A lever is pivotally mounted on the mount. When the lever is in a locked position, the swivel lock and platform are locked in place. When the lever is in an open position, the longitudinal and angular position of the platform and swivel lock may be adjusted.
