  • Patent number: 9062475
    Abstract: A roseless trim for a mortise or tubular lock includes through bolts on a bolt circle of less than one inch (25.4 mm). Spindle hubs with a curved slot allow at least one of the through bolts to pass through the spindle hubs. A tubular lock embodiment uses arms with a cutout. The arms function as through bolts when screws attach the arms to mounting plates on opposite sides of the door. Each handle is attached to a corresponding handle base with a bushing. The handle base and small diameter bolt circle cooperate to provide the appearance that the handle extends directly into the door without a rose, escutcheon or any other attachment structure at the base of the handle.

  • Publication number: 20140238376
    Abstract: A combination manual tile cutter and a method of using the same. A manual tile cutter has an elongated cutting device mounted on a central support base and a pair of side supports pivotally connected on opposite sides of the central support base. The side supports are configured for pivotal movement between a first, open position to provide a generally planar support surface to support a work piece and a second, closed position disposed upwardly from the support base and configured to generally enclose the manual tile cutter in a polygonal (e.g., triangular) configuration. In the closed position, mutually adjacent portions of the side supports are configured to provide a hand grip to facilitate carrying of the manual tile cutter.
