Publication number: 20230382498Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and corresponding and/or associated methodology for a surface mounted base/pin system that allows a user (boater/fisherman) to quickly relocate or remove the desired accessory from one location to another by actuating the pin system which releases the unit from the base. The subject base/pin system uses a plurality of grooves in a base component and a plurality of balls in a pin component to strengthen the unit and for providing rotational locking positions as desired. The reinforced-strength base/pin system can support rod holders or other marine-associated accessories (such as bumper cleats, tie-down cleats, downrigging systems or others).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Tim Truesdale, John D Wendt, Michael C Livorsi

Patent number: 8607833Abstract: A routing machine comprises a plunge post, an electric motor, and a motor housing slideably connected to the plunge post. The motor housing defines an upper surface. A lockpiece selectively engages the plunge post between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lockpiece is allowed to slide relative to the plunge post along with the electric motor and motor housing when the lockpiece is in an unlocked position. The lockpiece is configured to lock in place relative to the plunge post and limit the extent to which the electric motor and motor housing may slide relative to the plunge post when the lockpiece is in the locked position. A fine adjustment mechanism is moveably connected to the lockpiece. The fine adjustment mechanism is configured to move the electric motor and motor housing relative to the plunge post when the lockpiece is in the locked position.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: David Pozgay, Tim Truesdale

Patent number: 8408259Abstract: A routing machine comprises a base unit and a motor unit releasably connected to the base unit. The base unit includes a handle and a first electrical connector. The motor unit includes an electric motor, motor control circuitry configured to energize or de-energize the electric motor, and a second electrical connector connected to the motor control circuitry. The second electrical connector is configured to engage the first electrical connector when the motor unit is properly seated on the base unit. An electric switch is positioned on the base unit. The motor control circuitry is configured to deliver electric power to the electric motor when the switch is in an on position. The motor control circuitry is configured to not provide electric power to the electric motor when the switch is in an off position.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: David Pozgay, James B. Stevens, Harald Krondorfer, Jeff Schreiner, Martin Feldman, Tim Truesdale, Arturo Gonzalez, Deborah Brown, Erick Higashi, Charlie Ren

Patent number: 8136558Abstract: A routing machine comprises a first plunge post, a second plunge post, and an electric motor moveable on the routing machine relative to the first plunge post and the second plunge post. A first sleeve bearing is slideably positioned on the first plunge post with a first clearance defined between the first sleeve bearing and the first plunge post. The first sleeve bearing is configured to slide along the first plunge post when the electric motor moves relative to the first plunge post. A second sleeve bearing is slideably positioned on the second plunge post with a second clearance defined between the second sleeve bearing and the second plunge post. The second sleeve bearing is configured to slide along the second plunge post when the electric motor moves relative to the second plunge post. At least one flexible member extends from the second sleeve bearing toward the second plunge post.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: David Pozgay, Harald Krondorfer, Tim Truesdale, Arturo Gonzalez
