Abstract: According to one example, a tool includes a second arm pivotally coupled to a first arm, a lead screw nut pivotally coupled to a second portion of the second arm, and a lead screw extending through an opening of the lead screw nut, the lead screw being pivotally and rotationally coupled to a second portion of the first arm. The tool has an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration. In the engaged configuration, a first portion of the first arm may be pivoted further from a first portion of the second arm when the lead screw is rotated. In the disengaged configuration, the first portion of the first arm may be pivoted closer to the first portion of the second arm without the lead screw being rotated.

Abstract: A magnetized pipe stand assembly includes a tripod that has a central stanchion which has a telescopically adjustable height. An adjusting screw is adjustably positioned in the second portion of the central stanchion. The adjusting screw is movable either upwardly or downwardly in the second portion of the stanchion. A pipe holder is coupled to the adjusting screw and the pipe holder has a pair of plates being perpendicularly oriented with each other to support a pipe. A pair of electromagnets is each integrated into a respective one of the plates of the pipe holder. Each of the electromagnets produces a magnetic field when the electromagnets are turned on to magnetically to restrain the pipe on the pipe holder thereby facilitating the pipe to be precisely welded.

Abstract: An F-type clamp with an anti-pivot and lock mechanism that engages a side of the first post facing the clamp head below a pivot axis of the guide arm of the clamp; or the anti-pivot axis engages a second side opposite the first side and above the pivot axis of the guide arm.

Abstract: The present invention provides an accessory retention device for using on bench type seating or tables made from planks. The device holds not only a pole, but also holders for drinks or other personal items. The device is adjustable to fit a variety of stadium seating, using the device adjustable mount system, which allows the mounting pieces that clamp on to the stadium seating to expand and contract for a secure fit. The device also allows the user to select what type of pole mounted item to insert into the support device, as the device is capable of adjusting to accommodate different types and sizes of poles, such as umbrella, flags, rods, etc. The device is compact, portable, and easy to carry with a built in handle.

Abstract: A carrier for use during sputtering includes a main body and support members. The main body defines a receiving space and includes a lateral surface defining at least one groove extending along a longitudinal direction. The receiving space and the at least one groove communicate with each other. The at least one groove is defined by a first surface and a second surface. The first surface defines recessed portions along the longitudinal direction and communicates with the receiving space. The support members are used for hanging workpieces. Each of the support members includes at least one support arm protruding from the lateral surface and is selectively and movably retained by one of the recessed portions.

Abstract: A clamp includes two handles pivotally connected to each other, a jaw pivotally connected to a short section of each of the handles and a device for positioning of the handles relative to each other. The positioning device includes a cylinder pivotally connected to a long section of one of the handles, a rack pivotally connected to a long section of the other handle and movably inserted in the cylinder, a detent pivotally connected to the cylinder for engagement with the rack to position the handles relative to each other, a lever comprising a first section pivotally connected to the cylinder and a second section operable to cause the first section of the lever to pivot the detent, and a spring compressed between the cylinder and the second section of the lever, thus tending to cause the first section of the lever to pivot the detent towards the rack.

Abstract: A gripper is provided with a body with a top part having at least one pair of parallel wings delimiting between them a channel for guiding at least two jaws. At least one wing (14) on one side of the channel is interrupted in the center (22), elasticized and provided with a bolt for the guiding and the adjusting of the coupling clearances of each jaw independently of one another.

Abstract: A vise includes a base having a fixed clamp member and a rack member is connected to the base. A movable clamp member is movably connected to the base and a rod extends through a horizontal portion of the movable clamp member. A connection member is mounted to the rod and has two lugs between which a pushing member is pivotally connected. A position member is pivotally connected to the connection member and a second end of the position member is engaged with of the rack member. A head is connected to the rod and located between the two lugs. The head has an inclined surface and an underside of the pushing member is rested on the inclined surface. A pushing surface is defined in an end of the pushing member and is matched with a vertical portion of the movable clamp member. The pushing member prevents the top portion of the movable clamp member from being deformed.

Abstract: A vise is composed of a base, a first transmission block, a second transmission block, a first movable jaw mounted on the first transmission block, a second movable jaw mounted on tee second transmission block, a control rod located in a slot of the base such that the control rod is engaged with the first transmission block and the second transmission block and that the control rod is capable of being actuated by a handle to drive the movable jaws to move toward or away from a fixed jaw located between the two movable jaws. The first transmission block is provided with two guide rods and a locating mechanism fastened with the guide rods.

Abstract: A clamping tool, in particular a screw clamp (1) having a fixed bracket (3), which provides a clamping surface (4) and is fixedly connected to a slide rail (2) on which a sliding bracket (5) is seated such that it can be displaced and secured, and having a counter clamping surface (8) which, by a clamping element (7), can be braced against a workpiece which can be clamped between the clamping surface (4) and the counter clamping surface (8), the eyelet (6) of the sliding bracket (5) being secured against slipping with respect to the profiled slide rail (2). A latching body (13) which is associated with the sliding bracket (5), projects into the eyelet (6), and is capable of yielding resiliently for cooperation with a latching profiling (10) of the slide rail (2).

Abstract: A work piece clamping device is composed of a clamping block, a locking cover, a plate button, a support rod, a press rod, a tightening nut engaged with the press rod, and a fastening member. The clamping block is provided with a vertical wall for locating a work piece in place on a workbench top. The clamping block can be moved up and down along the support rod by the fastening member which is located under the workbench top and is movably fitted over the support rod. The clamping block is exerted on by the pressure of the plate button so as to hold securely the work piece on the workbench top.

Abstract: A multi-functional adjustable hand tool useful in attaching shoes to the hooves of horses is comprised of two lever members pivotably interengaged in the general manner of pliers and having opposed fixed and adjustable jaws. The adjustable jaw is capable of being disposed in several positions relative to the fixed jaw to provide the various jaw separations of clinching tools used by farriers. A nail cutter associated with the jaws provides even further versatility of the tool, causing it to be a replacement for several standard farrier's tools.

Abstract: This invention relates to a vice, particularly a parallel vice, having a displaceable jaw and at least one fixed jaw, clamping of said displaceable jaw against the fixed jaw being effected by means of a spindle inclined relatively to the displacing direction of the displaceable jaw, and anchoring means of said spindle being rapidly disengageable, shiftable and reengageable with the bed of the vice.
