  • Publication number: 20220111495
    Abstract: A pipe wrench includes a head having a first aperture defining a central axis. The pipe wrench includes a first jaw coupled to the head having a plurality of teeth defining a first contact region, and a second jaw partially extending through the aperture of the head having a threaded portion and a plurality of teeth defining a second contact region. The second contact region extends beyond the first contact region in a direction parallel to side surfaces of the head. The pipe wrench includes a biasing mechanism located within the first aperture to align the threaded portion of the second jaw with the central axis of the first aperture, and an actuator having threads engaged with the threaded portion of the second jaw such that rotation of the actuator moves the second contact region of the second jaw relative to the first contact region of the first jaw.

  • Publication number: 20210244107
    Abstract: An article of clothing comprising an electronic button assembly including an interface having a face and a base. The face defines a face periphery including a first top edge, a first bottom edge, a first right edge, a first left edge, a first lower slanted corner, and a first upper slanted corner. The base defines a base periphery extending beyond the face periphery on all sides to provide structural support to the face. The base periphery has a shape complimentary to a shape of the face periphery. A heater is electrically coupled to the electronic button assembly. An outer shell is coupled to the electronic button assembly. The outer shell has an outer surface and sewing edges folded inwardly and defining a shell opening receiving the interface. A shape of the shell opening follows the shape of the face periphery. The base is disposed beneath the outer shell.

  • Patent number: 11033059
    Abstract: An article of clothing and method of assembly. The article of clothing includes a button assembly with an interface having a first edge and a second edge. An outer shell is coupled to the button assembly. The outer shell defines a first opening for receiving the interface and having a border. A frame defines a second opening for receiving the interface and is positioned between the button assembly and the outer shell with the first opening and the second opening being substantially aligned. A portion of the outer shell folds over the frame, and the frame inhibits the border of the outer shell from pulling away from at least one of the first edge and the second edge of the interface.
