Abstract: A three-dimensional measuring device, comprising an arm having a free end provided with an interface body and a handle enabling an operator to point the measuring member at a zone of the object that is to be measured. The handle is secured to a fastener base having an end portion that includes a slideway extending transversely relative to the longitudinal direction of the handle in order to co-operate with a slideway of the interface body, the interface body and the end portion of the fastener support having both complementary abutment means so as to define a mutual engagement position of the slideways and also complementary locking means that oppose disengagement of the slideways, the complementary locking means including a control lever that is hinged to the end portion of the fastener base between an activation position for activating the locking means and an inactivation position for inactivating the locking means.

Abstract: A positionable tool support device is mounted near a work surface for supporting a tool for a user. The tool support device includes a surface mount to secure the tool support device to a support surface. A gravity-balancing articulated arm assembly is coupled to and extends from the surface mount. The gravity-balancing articulated arm assembly is selectively adjustable about both vertical and horizontal axes. A rigid support extension is coupled to the gravity-balancing articulated arm assembly for selective rotation relative to the gravity-balancing articulated arm assembly. A flexible tensile member is coupled to and extends, in a relaxed state, vertically downward from the rigid support extension. The tensile member is coupled to the tool.

Abstract: A tracking-enabled extended-reach tool system acting upon a workpiece. The tool system includes a gimbal positioned adjacent an opening in a surface, a sensor system, a computer control, and a display. The extended-reach arm has a first end, a second end, an end effector including a tool adjacent the first end. The extended-reach arm engages the gimbal for relative rotational movement and relative slidable movement through the opening positioning the end effector and the tool on a side of the surface opposite the second end. The sensor system is configured to measure a linear position of the extended-reach arm relative to the gimbal. The computer control receives signals from the sensor system indicative of the linear position of the extended-reach arm relative to the gimbal. The display is connected to the computer control and displays a representation of the workpiece and the tool relative to each other in real time.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are scrubbers 100 comprising: a squeezable handle 102 having at least one grip 114; a head 106 having a pair of jaws 110, the head 106 configured to receive a scrubbing member 112; an arm 104 connecting the handle 102 to the head 106; and a cable connecting the handle 102 to the head 106. Also disclosed are methods of cleaning an item, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining the above-described scrubber; placing the item in the space between the jaws 110 of the head 106; squeezing the grips 114 of the head 102 such that the scrubbing member 112 is in contact with the item; moving the scrubber 100 along the length of the item; adjusting the force on the grips as the contours of the item changes along its length so as to maintain contact between the scrubbing member 112 and the item.

Abstract: An extended-reach tool system may include a gimbal positioned adjacent a surface opening; an extended-reach arm having a tool and engaging the gimbal; a sensor system for measuring a position of the arm relative to the gimbal and a position and spatial orientation of the tool relative to the opening; a computer control that converts one or both of the rotational and linear measurements from the sensor system into spatial location representations for virtual representations of 3-D models of the workpiece and tool, determines a position and orientation of the tool relative to the opening and workpiece, and adjusts the virtual representations of the 3-D models of the workpiece and tool as the arm and tool move relative to the workpiece, representing a real-time orientation of the tool relative to the workpiece; and a display for displaying the virtual representations of the 3-D models of the workpiece and tool.

Abstract: An emergency access tool is designed to unfold into unique geometrical shapes that allow for the tool to act as a Class 1 lever to access a locked privacy partition stall door from the outside area thereof. The tool provides a handle to impart input force, a shaft rotatable out of a collapsed position of storage within the handle into alternative fixed operating positions with respect to the handle, a proximal portion of the shaft having a reduced diameter intermediate section, the intermediate section providing a fulcrum point where leverage is achieved while the tool is inserted within the door seam of the partition, and a distal end section which maintains a substantially perpendicular orientation with respect to the shaft during use of the tool. The end section of the tool is sized and adapted to make contact with the interior door lock of the partition and impart the output force necessary to unlock the lock latch and allow entry into the privacy partition stall.
