Abstract: A work bench for a power tool includes a beam for supporting the power tool, the beam having a first end, a second end, and a top surface extending between the first and second ends, and legs for supporting the beam over a surface. The work bench includes a first extension arm extendable from the first end of the beam, the first extension arm including a first main arm that telescopes within the first end of the beam, a first auxiliary arm that telescopes within the first main arm, and a first support leg that is pivotally connected with the auxiliary arm and that telescopes within the main arm. The work bench includes a second extension arm extendable from the second end of the beam, the second extension arm including a second main arm that telescopes within the second end of the beam, a second auxiliary arm that telescopes within the second main arm, and a second support leg that is connected with the second auxiliary arm and that telescopes within the second main arm.

Abstract: A workbelt pouch for use at a worksite is disclosed. The pouch includes pockets designed to hold electrician's tools. Additionally, exterior pockets are formed in a unique manner and reinforced using rivets in the bottom thereof to prevent sharp objects from wearing through the bottom of the pockets.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for winding thin films. Boundary air is discharged and the layers are compressed by a flexible, bowed idler roller located between a winding roll and a backup drive roll. High quality rolls free from wrinkles are produced.

Abstract: A conductive dielectric structure is disclosed wherein a thermoplastic matrix has a multitude of electrically conductive channels through its thickness and, optionally, at least one electrically conductive surface which, along with protective and heat seal layers, can be formed into conductive belts.

Abstract: A sensor for detecting a break in a continuously advancing web. A vacuum tube extends through a plenum in a jet body. Air under pressure is introduced into the plenum and discharges through an annular orifice surrounding the tube onto a flared end. A low pressure switch in communication with the tube senses the absence of a web from its normal path of advance adjacent the flared end.

Abstract: An apparatus for diverting a wide, continuously advancing film. The apparatus includes a first jet device for forwarding a broken film from the tenter oven to a second jet device which, in turn, routes the film to waste with no reduction in line speed.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting and diverting a freshly cast, polymeric web. The apparatus includes a pair of traversing knives that cut a tongue from the middle of a web and an air jet that diverts the continuously advancing tongue and web to waste.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for smoothly, continuously, and more effectively shredding laterally-extended film material of indefinite length without jerking the film material into the device with excessive force. Cooperating cutting edges are used--one serrated, another smooth.

Abstract: A method of shredding a web of material is provided. The web is moved by means of a stream of air provided by rotating impeller blades in a first path toward a shredder outlet. At least a part of the web is shredded in this path by stationary first shredding teeth and the shredded portion is immediately moved out of the outlet by the stream of air. The unshredded portion of the web is pulled from the first path into a second path and shredded as it moves in the second path by means of stationary second shredding teeth positioned at substantially a right angle to the first shredding teeth. Then this shredded part of the web is moved out of the shredder by means of the stream of air.Apparatus is provided for performing the above-described method.
