20090242604 | Cap assembly of a fastener-driving tool having switch mechanism incorporated therein for switching modes of operation of the fastener-driving tool - A fastener-driving tool is provided with a cap assembly which includes a switch mechanism that permits the tool to be operated in one of two firing modes of operation. The switch mechanism comprises a two-position switch mechanism such that when the switch mechanism is disposed at a first one of its two positions, the tool will be able to operate in a fully automatic continuous firing mode of operation so as to continuously fire fasteners into a substrate as long as the workpiece contact element and the trigger mechanism are disposed at their depressed positions, or alternatively, when the switch mechanism is disposed at the second one of the two positions, the tool can be operated in a one-shot firing mode such that the tool can only fire a single fastener, either in accordance with, for example, a sequential-firing mode of operation or a bump-firing mode of operation, until the trigger mechanism is released and again depressed. | 10-01-2009 |

20090057367 | PNEUMATIC TOOL ACTUATION DEVICE - The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tool actuation device comprising a housing configured to be attached to a pneumatic tool, a piston slidably moveable within a drive chamber formed within the housing and an air inlet chamber formed within housing and configured to accept a pressurized gas and direct it to the drive chamber. The piston further comprises an O-ring disposed in an annular groove formed in the piston and forming a seal between the piston and the drive chamber. The air inlet chamber is operably connected to a hose through which a pressurized gas travels and enters the housing to move the piston. The movement of the piston actuates a trigger located on the pneumatic tool. | 03-05-2009 |
20090072005 | ENHANCED PNEUMATIC TOOL ACTUATION DEVICE - The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tool actuation device comprising a housing configured to be attached to a pneumatic tool, a piston slidably moveable within a drive chamber formed within the housing and an air inlet chamber formed within housing and configured to accept a pressurized gas and direct it to the drive chamber. The piston further comprises an O-ring disposed in an annular groove formed in the piston and forming a seal between the piston and the drive chamber. The housing is removably attached to an opening near a trigger valve pin. The air inlet chamber is operably connected to a hose through which a pressurized gas travels and enters the housing to move the piston. The movement of the piston directly actuates the trigger valve pin located in the pneumatic tool. | 03-19-2009 |

20100307170 | Cryogenically treated wooden baseball bat - A cryogenic treatment for wooden baseball bats to provide a new, cryogenically treated wooden baseball bat that has many of the advantages of the traditional and alternative material bats mentioned heretofore, but with a significant novel feature, that of having been cryogenically treated. The result is a new, cryogenically treated wooden baseball bat which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art, either alone or in combination thereof because cryogenic treatment is typically implemented upon metallic objects and not on wooden objects. The process relates to a process/method/system of manufacture wherein the same can be utilized for improving the strength of standard wooden baseball bats via cryogenic treatment, thereby reducing the occurrence of breakage of said bats. This is intended to increase the safety of players and fans through the reduced risk of being struck by sharply pointed projectiles/shrapnel that results when breakage does occur. The inventive process includes taking the standard produced wooden baseball bats and systematically and methodically processing said bat via a cryogenic process/treatment. Note that we are aware that a similar cryogenic process has been utilized with metallic baseball bats, but never, to our knowledge, has this process been attempted upon standard wooden baseball bats. The CK Process™ involves cryogenically treating (deep freezing) standard wooden baseball bats at a controlled time/temperature cycle, thereby altering the alignment of the internal molecular/crystalline lattice structure of the wood, thereby relieving the internal residual stresses of said wooden baseball bats, similar to the process of tempering metals. The CK Process™ in no way adversely alters the bat and the bat remains within the current regulations and specifications required under Major League Baseball RTM rule 1.10. | 12-09-2010 |

20080238015 | LEADING AND TRAILING ARM SUSPENSIONS HAVING A FULLY INTEGRATED ARM - A leading or trailing arm vehicle suspension system comprised of a fabricated vehicle axle and a fully integrated beam casting providing bending stiffness to control axle windup and longitudinal stiffness to control axle position is disclosed. The beam casting is attached to the vehicle axle with a thru-bolt connection. The beam casting includes rack and pinion mounting attachment holes and also includes other built-in features providing efficient transfer of loads into the vehicle axle. | 10-02-2008 |
20080252031 | LEADING AND TRAILING ARM SUSPENSIONS WITH Z-SHAPED ARMS - A leading or trailing arm vehicle suspension system comprised of a fabricated vehicle axle and an arm assembly. The arm assembly includes an axle bracket attached to the axle and a leading or trailing arm attached to the axle bracket. The arm provides bending stiffness to control axle windup and longitudinal stiffness to control axle position is disclosed. The axle bracket is attached to the vehicle axle with a through-bolt connection.
