  • Patent number: 7178217
    Abstract: A device 10 and method for forming a non-tapered end 12 of a gypsum board 14 into a tapered configuration or portion 16 includes a rotary drive tool 18 that imparts rotary motion to a tool bit 20 removably secured thereto, a pair of oppositely disposed angle members 22 having cooperating base portions 24 configured to promote attaching a dust collection collar 17 to the base portions 24, the angle members 22 disposing and guiding the rotating tool bit 20 between outer paper walls 28 of a non-tapered end 12 of the gypsum board 14 to ultimately severe portions of gypsum from the non-tapered end 12 thereby forming a recess 32 without damaging the outer paper walls 28 of the gypsum board 14.

  • Patent number: 6811052
    Abstract: A drinking device 10 lifted and held by a person's mouth while the person consumes the liquid contents includes a lower base portion 12, an upper mouth portion 14 having an aperture 15 in a top portion 17, and a mid-portion 16 having a relatively cylindrical outer wall 18 integrally joined to the lower base portion 12 and the upper mouth portion 14. The upper mouth portion 14 includes a relatively arcuate first side ridge 35 positioned adjacent to a horizontal portion 33 of an upper end 32 of the outer wall 18, and a substantially right angled second side ridge 36 positioned substantially opposite the first side ridge 34 and adjacent to an arcuate portion 35 of the upper end 32 of the outer wall 18. The aperture 15 is positioned in axial alignment with the outer cylindrical wall 18 of the mid-portion 14.
