Abstract: An accessory mount system is provided for mounting on an aerial work platform having sidewalls extending upwardly from a base to a rim or lip. The mount system is configured to be releasably attached to the lip and one or more of the sidewalls of the work platform and includes quick-connect accessory mounts that allow various types of accessories or accessory mount/holders to be mounted on the system and, via the system, on to the work platform. The system can include a quick-connect mechanism for releasably mounting an accessory to the system. The quick-connect mechanism includes a catch mounted to a frame to pivot between a release position and a lock position and a user actuated release lever connected to the catch to allow a user to actuate the catch from the lock position to the release position.

Abstract: A powered fastening device is provided and is capable of applying multiple strikes to a fastener to drive the fastener to a preselected depth in a work piece and then automatically stopping the strikes when the preselected depth has been achieved.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for dispensing a food and beverage product where a flowable product is extracted from a flexible pouch, and where a nozzle region exists through which the flowable product evacuates the flexible pouch. The nozzle region has a lock seal that locks the flowable product within the flexible pouch when a pressure less than a first threshold value is applied to the flexible pouch. There is also a frangible seal located above the nozzle region that is configured to lock the flowable product within the flexible pouch when pressure less than a second threshold value is applied to the flexible pouch and when the first threshold value is larger than the second threshold value.

Abstract: An impact device includes a drive assembly, a cam having a ramp and a fall-off, and a follower associated with the cam. During rotation of the cam, one of the cam or the follower axially displaces as the follower traverses the cam and falls off the fall-off to transform the rotary motion of the drive assembly to a reciprocating motion having a saw-tooth shape that includes a gradual retraction and a quick extension. The quick extension creates an impact loading, which can be used, for example, for driving a fastener into a work piece.

Abstract: A powered fastening device is capable of driving a fastener into a work piece and automatically preventing the device from firing until a fastener is located in an appropriate position within the device.

Abstract: A compact dust removal system that can be mounted on a substantially rigid receptacle, such as a pail, found at construction sites. The compact dust removal system includes an array of cyclonic separators of different sizes disposed within a mesh filter. The system can be mountable to a pail such that an initial dust removal stage occurs by inertial separation along the interior surface of the pail. The system further includes a cyclone inlet manifold configured to distribute dust-laden air among the cyclonic separators at least partially based on the size of dust particles within the dust-laden air.

Abstract: Electrically powered fastening devices configured to drive staples suited to multiple applications. The fastening device includes an adjustable feeder and depth gauge, a hammer device with a mechanism for translating rotary power to linear striking force, and a staple guide configured to drive staples with selected, specialized profiles and configured with inner radii sized and shaped to conform to particular wire and sheathing diameters.

Abstract: A fastener, such as a staple, includes a body having a bridge portion, a first leg, and a second leg. The body extends along an axial direction. Each of the first and second legs has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surfaces of the first and second legs are disposed in facing relation to define a distance therebetween. In one embodiment, the distance decreases along the axial direction in a direction towards the bridge portion.
