    摘要: A lifting and lowering tool includes a foot configured to be supported on a surface, a bar extending therefrom, and a movable assembly including a housing, a movable platform shaped to support a load that extends from the housing, a lifting actuator configured to incrementally move the movable assembly along the bar away from the foot, a lowering actuator configured to incrementally move the movable assembly along the bar towards the foot, and a release actuator configured to disengage the movable assembly from the bar to allow free movement of the movable assembly along the bar. In embodiments, the movable assembly engages the bar through locking plates that extend through a flange of the movable assembly. In embodiments the release actuator is spaced from the lifting actuator and the lowering actuator to prevent inadvertent actuation of the release actuator. In embodiments a flange of the movable assembly surrounds the bar.

    摘要: A knife 100 includes a handle 165, a neck 160 configured to hold a blade 150, and a lever 110 configured to selectively release the blade from the neck. The lever is coupled to a blade lock arm 200 configured to extend along a side of the blade. A ramped surface 220 pushes the blade lock arm into the blade to press the blade against a side of the neck to clamp the blade to the side of the neck when the blade lock arm is in a blade locked position.

    摘要: A control circuit (58) can be operably coupled to the drive motor (30), a manually actuatable trigger switch (24). A pull rod position sensor (56) can be coupled to the control circuit. The pull rod position sensor can be operable to provide at least one of an extended position signal to the control circuit in response to the non-rotating pull rod and the spike puller jaws being in the extended position, and a retracted position signal to the control circuit in response to the non-rotating pull rod and the spike puller jaws being in the retracted position. A pair of operating handles can each have an operating manual gripping portion for ergonomically operating the spike puller in an upright operating orientation. A pair of carrying handles can each include a carrying manual gripping portion oriented for ergonomically carrying the spike puller in a side-laying carrying orientation that borders an opening through the plastic housing.

    摘要: A striking hand tool includes a grip component where an external surface has a front arc half and a rear arc half, wherein an area of the grip is smaller in a first cross sectional plane further from a head of the tool than a second plane closer to the head portion. A p value of the front arc half in the first cross sectional plane is less than approximately 0.45. A measurement from a first axis to a frontmost point in the first cross sectional plane is between 17.5 mm and 19 mm. A p value of the front arc half in the second cross sectional plane is less than approximately 0.5. A measurement from the first axis to a frontmost point in the second cross sectional plane is between 18.5 mm and 20 mm. Methods of manufacturing and striking hand tools having desirous durometer measurements are also disclosed.

    摘要: A measuring tape rule device includes a tape rule housing, the housing having a connection portion. The device also includes an axle within the housing, the axle configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. The device also includes a reel within the housing, the reel configured to rotate about the axis of rotation and the axle. The device additionally includes an elongated tape having gradations thereon and wound on the reel. The device further includes a first spring coupled between the axle and the connection portion of the housing, and a second spring coupled between the axle and the reel. Rotation of the reel relative to the housing in a direction tending to tension the second spring transmits rotational movement to the axle through the tensioning of the second spring. Such rotational movement of the axle is applied to the first spring to tension the first spring.

    摘要: A laser level system, and a method of determining alignment of a laser level system, are provided. The method comprises: providing a laser level on a mount; causing the laser level to project a laser line onto a surface; detecting the laser line with a remote detector; rotating the laser level relative to the mount while keeping the remote detector stationary; and determining whether the laser line moves relative to the remote detector as the laser level rotates.

    摘要: A tape rule comprises a blade, a reel, a spring, a lock, and a housing. The blade comprises a substrate and a coating. The coating is configured to provide color, environmental protection, and/or abrasion resistance. In some embodiments, (1) the coating is formed from non-polymer materials; (2) the blade comprises reinforcements metallurgically bonded to the blade at or near a free end; (3) measurement indicia comprise locally annealed portions of the substrate or the coating that create color contrasts; (4) the measurement indicia comprise portions of the substrate visible through gaps in the coating; (5) the measurement indicia comprise voids in the substrate filled with a coating material having a contrasting color; and/or (6) the substrate has a surface texture configured to change an appearance of the coating relative to an appearance of the coating on an as rolled surface finish of the metal substrate.
