Patent number: 11865693Abstract: A tool that mounts on a power driver or other tool for installing framing members in a building ensures proper and uniform spacing of the framing members. A support that may be a C-shaped band clamp removably attaches to the power tool. A generally tubular gauge body snap-attaches in place and a slide member disposed within the gauge body is adjustable to extend a sufficient amount so the combined length of the tubular gauge body and the extended slide member provide a proper spacing for the framing members. A slide lock for holds the slide member at the extended position. This allows the measuring and installation to be done without the installer having to set the power tool down or use a ruler or tape measure once the spacing is established.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Inventor: William Phelps

Publication number: 20130225376Abstract: The present invention provides an elastic tubing exercise device comprising a length of elastic exercise tubing having two ends, and a spooling mechanism secured to at least one end of said tubing. The spooling mechanism is secured at least partially within a handle that has a hand grip and housing portion. And the housing portion is sufficient to securely house the spooling mechanism. The spooling mechanism further comprises a lock. The lock releasably engages the exterior of the housing of the handle, such that when the lock is engaged, the spooling mechanism is prevented from rotating, thereby securing the tubing at a fixed length.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2012Publication date: August 29, 2013Inventors: Daniel Kinsbourne, William Phelps
