  • Patent number: 6357972
    Abstract: A cutting tool for locating an axis in a first member and cutting a sized hole in a second member overlying the first member. The cutting tool includes a base assembly and a cutter assembly which may be used independently of the base assembly. The cutter assembly includes a guide member, a cutting blade and a handle structure with a face portion. The guide member is coupled to the handle structure and extends from the face portion. The cutting blade is coupled to the handle structure such that the cutting blade extends from the face portion and is spaced radially outward of the guide member. The base assembly has a base structure, a stem member and a pilot aperture. The base structure has a first side adapted to contact the second member and a distal side adapted to contact the first member. The stem member is coupled to the distal side of the base structure and is adapted to engage a hole in the first member to locate the axis in the first member.

  • Patent number: 5673818
    Abstract: A tote tank has a flexible, collapsible liner for water-based or water-borne paint. The liner when full of paint fills the tank and lines the interior walls thereof. A paint outlet from the liner extends through a wall of the tank for withdrawing paint. A paint inlet to the liner is provided for filling the liner with paint and is normally closed and sealed by a closure plate. An air inlet to the tank allows the liner to collapse as paint is withdrawn. An air meter measures the amount of air entering the tank through the air inlet as an indication or measure of the amount of paint withdrawn.

  • Patent number: 5320682
    Abstract: A method is provided for cleaning paint residue from the walls of an enclosed chamber and providing for reclamation of the cleaning solution. The method includes providing a regulated flow of cleaning solution under pressure to a hand held scrubbing apparatus for removing paint residue from the wall surface. The cleaning solution with the paint residue entrained therein drips down the walls and is collected in a series of troughs lining the perimeter of the paint booth. Taking advantage of gravity, the liquid drains from the troughs into a temporary storage container located below the paint booth. The liquid may then be pumped into a permanent storage container that could be in a remote location. The liquid is now available for reclamation.
