20080314846 | STORAGE RACK FOR POT AND PAN LIDS - A rack for holding kitchen items including pot and pan lids, trays, cutting boards and cake pans may be mounted on a glide mechanism to slide in and out of a cabinet. The rack includes a wire construction base and bent wire partitions defining fore-to-aft pockets in which lids may be stored with bottom arcs of the lids placed on cross wires of the base to prevent the lids from rolling when the rack is moved in or out of the cabinet. Handles and knobs on the lids fit in spaces provided by U-shaped loops of the partitions. The partitions and base are initially detached from each other, and from the glide mechanism, for compact packaging. The partitions have legs provided with flanges to seat flatly on plates of the base, with special nuts securing the partition legs and providing large surfaces against the undersides of the plates for secure and stable connection of the partitions. | 12-25-2008 |
20090114312 | Depth Adjustment Mechanism - A router includes a motor housing containing a motor and coupled to a tool holder configured to receive a tool bit that is driven rotationally by the motor. A base receives the motor housing for movement in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis of the motor housing. A depth adjustment mechanism enables adjustment of a position of the motor housing relative to the base along the axial direction. The depth adjustment mechanism has a threaded shaft rotationally coupled to one of the motor housing and the base and a thread engaging member coupled to the other of the motor housing and the base. The threaded shaft is engageable with the thread engaging member. A seam defined in the base adjacent to the depth adjustment mechanism. A clamp arm clamps across the seam between an open position and a closed position, whereby when the clamp arm is in the open position, the threaded shaft may be rotated to move the motor housing in an axial direction relative to the base, and when the clamp arm is in the closed position, movement of the motor housing relative to the base in an axial direction is prevented. | 05-07-2009 |
20090114313 | Handle Assembly - An apparatus for providing convenient grasping of a router adjacent base/motor housing includes a base for supporting a motor housing for driving a working tool. A generally L-shaped handle including a connecting member and grasping member is connected to the base for permitting a user to comfortably manipulate the power tool adjacent the motor housing. In further aspect, a removable a generally L-shaped handle includes a channel extending through the handle for directing dust and debris away from the working tool. | 05-07-2009 |
20090236958 | MULTIPLE TIER CABINET STORAGE UNIT - A multi-tier cabinet storage installation includes lower and upper storage units which may be wire drawers. The lower and upper units are connected by posts having detachable connections allowing compact packaging in a disassembled condition. A spacer that may be inverted allows adjustment of the elevation of the upper unit to accommodate varying cabinet heights. A modified embodiment intended for use when obstructions are present in the cabinet has a reduced width upper unit for clearing the obstructions and is reversible while still providing a handle in the front regardless of which way the installation is made. | 09-24-2009 |
20110025182 | GLIDE MECHANISM FOR ROLL OUT DRAWERS AND OTHER ITEMS - A slide frame mechanism for a rollout accessory such as a wire drawer has two or more ball-bearing glides in a vertical orientation. Each of the glides includes a glide mount with a threaded aperture and cross-bars attached to extend between the glides. The accessory has a plurality of mounting tabs. Shoulder screws with partial threads pass through the accessory mounting tabs and threadably engage the threads of the slide mount apertures to secure the accessory to the glides. A compressible pad is positioned between the accessory mounting tabs and the glide mounts to provide a floating suspension which reduces binding of the glides when the accessory is rolled in and out. The screws fit loosely through oversized openings in the mounting tabs to allow limited movement of the accessory relative to the glides in a horizontal plane for further reduction of binding. Drawer dividers are constructed to detachably fit on drawers to provide separate compartments. | 02-03-2011 |
20110123362 | AIR COMPRESSOR - An air compressor assembly can include a support structure with a compressor mechanism, at least one fluid tank, a pair of wheels, and a handle attached thereto. The air compressor assembly can be configured with the compressor mechanism having a perpendicular orientation relative to the at least one fluid tank so as to provide a relatively narrow assembly and to facilitate servicing and/or maintenance of the assembly. Furthermore, the wheels and handle can be configured so that the assembly can be relatively easily located in a balanced transport position. Additionally, an accessory support plate can be attached to the top of the assembly to serve as a dolly. | 05-26-2011 |

20090007441 | Variable dust chute for circular saws - The present invention is directed to a hand-held circular saw with an integrated dust collection system. Such saw may include an upper blade guard for protecting the user from a saw blade, the upper blade guard configured with a front region and a back region, the front region including a hollow channel to control the pathway of dust and debris and a dust collection system incorporated within the front region of the upper blade guard allowing dust and debris to be directed away from the user. | 01-08-2009 |
20090016902 | AIR COMPERSSOR SHROUD ASSEMBLY - The present invention generally relates to the field of air compressors and particularly to a shroud assembly for use with air compressors. An aspect of the present invention is directed to a shroud assembly having an outfit shroud, including a top outfit shroud coupled with a bottom outfit shroud; and, a pump shroud including a top pump shroud coupled with a bottom pump shroud; wherein the pump shroud at least partially encompasses a pump assembly of an air compressor and the outfit shroud at least partially encompasses the pump assembly, the pump shroud, a manifold assembly and a pressure switch assembly of an air compressor, the shroud assembly further configured for mounting to an air tank of an air compressor, the shroud assembly allowing for access to working parts of the air compressor and also allowing for a cooling air flow through the interior of the outfit shroud. | 01-15-2009 |
20090097250 | Integrated battery charging work light electrical distribution system - The present invention is directed to an apparatus for integrating various systems such as a battery charging system, an industrial lighting system and an electrical distribution system. The present invention may include an industrial light, a battery charging mechanism for recharging batteries of power tools, and an electrical distribution system allowing additional corded electric tools and appliances to receive power through the electrical distribution system of the apparatus. Additionally, a power surge protector may be included in the apparatus. The integration of various systems may reduce the number of appliances required at a jobsite, further reducing the clutter at the jobsite. | 04-16-2009 |
