The clamping mechanism includes a clamping bar having a first end and a second end. A longitudinal axis is defined between the first and second ends. A first pivoting arm is operatively connected to one of the ends of the clamping bar to support the clamping bar for rotation about a pivot axis. A biasing device biases the clamping bar about the pivot axis to clamp the work piece between the clamping bar and a table base.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2008Publication date: August 21, 2008Applicant: TAPCO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Clyde G. Allen, Aundrea Nurenberg, Todd M. Lajewski, Michael C. Clark, Richard J. Logan

Patent number: 7367252Abstract: An integrated circuit package separator. A base having a plurality of pins extending upwardly therefrom is provided. A support is provided over the base. The support has an upper surface and a plurality of holes. The pins extend through the holes and upwardly beyond the upper surface of the support. An actuator is provided beneath the support. A board having a plurality of integrated circuits bonded thereto is provided. The integrated circuits form a repeating pattern of integrated circuit packages across the board, and the board has a plurality of holes. The board is placed over the support upper surface with the pins extending into the holes in the board. While the board is over the support upper surface, it is cut to separate the integrated circuit packages. After the cutting, the support is vertically displaced by the actuator to lift the support off the pins.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2005Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Jason E. Tripard

Patent number: 7360476Abstract: A cutting guide having a component defining a first plane positionable substantially parallel to a working table of a cutting tool and a second plane, the second plane forming a predetermined angle inferior to 90 degrees relative to the first plane so as to receive at least in part a piece to cut and orienting the same according to a predetermined inclined plane. The cutting guide also includes an adapter allowing for modification of the predetermined angle, the adapter being releasably mountable to the component so that one of the faces of the adapter defines a new inclined plane.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2003Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Inventor: Raymond Berthiaume

Publication number: 20070251367Abstract: A desktop hole punch device for punching holes in stacked sheet media such as paper is disclosed. The hole punch device includes at least one adjustable, laterally extending arm having markings thereon indicating standard office paper sizes. The markings are visible to the user through a window in the device. An edge guide at the distal end of the arm aligns the stack of sheet media and a curved page lifter extending from the edge guide reverses the natural curl in the paper stack for better and more precise hole punching.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2006Publication date: November 1, 2007Inventors: Benjamin Hermance, William Chura

Publication number: 20070221028Abstract: A fence assembly of a cut-off machine includes a fence base fixed above a worktable of the cut-off machine, a fence plate supported on and movable along the fence base, having a downwardly extending bottom panel and a locking structure for controlling if the fence plate is locked to the fence base. The locking structure includes a fastener defining a separation with a constant length from the fence base, a first block, a second block and a press member. The first block, the second block and the bottom panel are crowded into the constant separation. The bottom panel is disposed between the second block and the fence base. The contact surface between the first block and the second block slopes toward the direction of the separation. The first block is movable substantially perpendicularly to the direction of the separation. The press member selectively presses the first block.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2007Publication date: September 27, 2007Applicant: REXON INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION LTD.Inventor: Jung-Huo Chen
