  • Patent number: 11273548
    Abstract: A screwdriver system can include a primary driver and a secondary driver. The primary driver can include an attachment feature configured to couple to a driver bit socket. The attachment feature can be mechanically coupled to the driver shaft such that torque applied to the attachment feature is transferred to the shaft. The secondary driver can include a driver bit socket at the end of its shaft. The attachment feature of the primary driver can be structured, configured, and oriented such that the secondary driver can reversibly couple to the attachment feature via the driver bit socket of the secondary driver shaft. The secondary driver, when so-coupled, can be oriented with the primary axis of the secondary driver shaft generally perpendicular to the primary axis of the primary driver. In some examples, the primary driver can be a torque wrench.

  • Publication number: 20220074708
    Abstract: A reticle leveling system can include a firearm mount having a base mount, track, scope saddle, and light projector. The system can further include a tripod and an alignment grid. The firearm mount can attach to an elongated portion of a firearm, such as a barrel or picatinny rail. The base mount and track can secure the firearm mount to the elongated portion of the firearm, and the scope saddle can align on top of the scope, thereby creating connection points on both the elongated portion and the scope. The light projector can shine light through the front of the scope, thereby causing scope reticle to project out of the eyepiece. The projected image of the reticle can be shown on the alignment grid, which can be attached to the top of the tripod, and the alignment grid can include cross-hatching to illustrate whether the reticle is properly aligned.

  • Publication number: 20200401088
    Abstract: A controlling and monitoring control application associated with one or more work operations of one or more utility devices is disclosed. The controller is programmed for controlling one or more external work operations associated with one or more utility devices. An I/O board is connected in communication with the primary controller having a module with a plurality of device-specific control applications associated with one or more device-specific work operations. The housing of the controller includes one or more cable access points for plugging a cable into the controller. The cable access points are sealed to prevent water from entering into the housing. A mounting bracket assembly provides flexibility for mounting the controller at various orientations and/or positions. The controller also includes a DC control circuit for controlling backlight luminance over the entire dimming ratio.

  • Patent number: 10597282
    Abstract: A dispenser dispenses a consumable product from a container. The container is supported within a housing by a container holder. The container holder is vertically moveable within a movement range in the housing. A biasing structure biases the container holder upwardly. A sign is connected to move up and down with the container holder. An indicator associated with the sign is vertically fixed relative to the housing. When an amount of product remaining in the container reaches a low level, the biasing force of the biasing structure will lift the container holder, causing the indicator to be aligned with a portion of the sign that gives a visual cue to a user that the amount of product remaining is at a low level.
