The fittings in the media blaster block create a venturi effect and draw the water and rust inhibitor solution so as for it to mix with the abrasive media where the dustless blaster sprays the mix to remove surface finishes from a metal surface and simultaneously provides a rust inhibitor to the surface, thereby allowing the device to be capable of performing any one, two or all of dry media blasting, slurry blasting, and water blasting.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: DTA Industries LLCInventor: Andy Adan

Patent number: 10773360Abstract: Methods of making an abrasive article. Abrasive particles are loaded to a distribution tool defining a plurality of slots that are open to an exterior of the tool. The loaded particles are distributed from the distribution tool to a major face of a backing web below the lower side and moving relative to the tool. Some of the loaded particles become oriented in a respective one of the slots and are then dispensed on to the major face. In this regard, during the step of distributing, a plurality of the oriented particles is simultaneously at least partially within a first slot and in contact with major face. In some embodiments, the distribution tool includes a plurality of aligned rings; adjacent ones of the rings are attached to, and longitudinally separated from, one another by one or more spacer bodies.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2016Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventor: Yuyang Liu

Patent number: 10773361Abstract: Methods of making an abrasive article. Abrasive particles are loaded to a distribution tool including a plurality of walls defining a plurality of slots. Each slot is open to a lower side of the tool. The loaded particles are distributed from the distribution tool to a major face of a backing web below the lower side and moving relative to the tool. At least a majority of the particles distributed from the tool undergo an orientation sequence in which each particle first enters one of the slots. The particle then passes partially through the slot such that a first portion is beyond the lower side and in contact with the major face, and a second portion within the slot. The sequence then includes the particle remaining in simultaneous contact with one of the walls and the major face for a dwell period while the web moves relative to the tool.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Geoffrey I. Wilson, Mark R. Nyberg, Jeffery S. Thomford, Ernest L. Thurber, Brian G. Koethe, Charles C. Drange, Robert J. Hnatyk, John T. Boden

Patent number: 10773363Abstract: An adjustable ratchet wrench includes a wrench body, a ratchet, a positioning member, and a movable device. A fixed clamp portion is disposed on the inner periphery of the ratchet. The positioning member is disposed on the inner periphery of the ratchet. The movable device is disposed on the inner periphery of the ratchet and movably connected with the positioning member. The movable device has a movable clamp portion, which forms a tool receiving hole with the fixed clamp portion for receiving a workpiece. By used of the movable device, the size of the tool receiving hole is adjusted for being applicable to workpieces with different sizes, facilitating the utility of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Inventor: Hung-Chiang Liao

Patent number: 10773366Abstract: A driving tool is provided with first and second grease reservoirs for supplying grease to seal rings present on the outer and inner peripheral circumferences of a head valve in contact with a spring guide. Because of this configuration, wearing off of resistance of the seal rings due to gradual loss of grease can be improved and air leakage therefrom can also be prevented, which can improve durability of the driving tool.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Junpei Kamimoto, Noriyuki Nishido

Patent number: 10773367Abstract: A nail blocking member for a nail gun. The nail gun includes a firing portion for firing a nail. When an object is pressed upon the nail blocking member by the firing portion, the nail is fired by the firing portion to enter the object. The nail blocking member includes a main body having a contact face, with a formation groove concavely disposed on the contact face, and a guiding block protruding from the formation groove. An object is pressed upon the contact face by the firing portion, and a nail is fired by the firing portion to enter the object to hit the guiding block, such that the nail is guided by the guiding block to move toward the formation groove, so as to be bent along the formation groove and reversely folded back into the object.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: EVERWIN PNEUMATIC CORPORATIONInventors: Wen-Sheng Huang, Wei-Jen Chen
