    摘要: A system and device for leveling and aligning tiles and a method for leveling and aligning tiles are disclosed. In one embodiment of the tile leveling system, a tile leveling device includes an upright body having a head and base at opposite ends thereof. The base and the upright body are integral prior to a frangible separation. The tile leveling device is selectively threaded through a line-of-sight opening of a wedge device for use in an operational configuration.

    摘要: For leveling tile, a tile leveling device includes a tower, a base, and two leveling ridges. The tower includes a cross piece and two struts that extend in a distal direction along a first axis from the cross piece. The base is connected to the two struts at a base intersection and extending along a traverse axis from the two struts, the base comprising two side edges, two front edges, and four diagonal cutouts, wherein the two side edges are each perpendicular to both the two front edges, a diagonal cutout is between each side edge and front edge pair at a diagonal angle and each strut comprises a notch along a break line at an outer intersection. The two leveling ridges are disposed on a proximal surface of the base.

    摘要: A siding installation gauge includes a tool body, an upper support member, a clamp, and an actuating mechanism. A clamping portion of the clamp is inserted behind an installed lower siding board and the tool actuated to secure the lower board between the clamp and tool body. An upper siding board rests on registration surfaces on the upper support member while it is fastened for installation. The clamp includes coupling and clamping portions; movement of the actuating mechanism to an actuated arrangement retracts the coupling portion into or through the tool body and thereby forces movement of the clamp toward the tool body to secure the lower siding board. In the actuated arrangement, the actuating mechanism retains the clamp in a clamped arrangement; in the non-actuated arrangement, the actuating mechanism permits movement of the clamp into a non-clamped arrangement.

    摘要: A tool for the application of pressing wedges in wedge-type levelling spacer systems used in the application of tiles and that are equipped with a base block and a pressing wedge. The tool includes a handgrip from a front end of which projects a support rod having a longitudinal axis, a slider constrained to the support rod and at least partially delimiting a through opening configured to slidably receive at least one axial segment of the pressing wedge, a thruster associated with the handgrip in a movable manner at least along a thrusting direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support rod between an advanced position, wherein the thruster is proximal to the slider, and a withdrawn position, wherein the thruster is distal from the slider, and a mechanical actuator associated with the handgrip and configured to actuate the thruster at least from the withdrawn position to the advanced position.

    摘要: A vinyl siding alignment tool for verifying the alignment of vinyl siding panels around the exterior of a building. The tool is configured to verify the alignment of the panels around a corner post regardless of whether it is an acute or obtuse angle. The tool is fitted with a leveling means for providing immediate feedback to the installer. The tool further comprises a handle and a support means for providing a balanced weight about the center of gravity, making the tool easy to use with very little effort. The tool is versatile in that it allows the user to verify alignment about an interior angle using two distinct methods.

    摘要: A drywall installation support apparatus for one man ceiling drywall installation includes a main panel having a main top side, a main bottom side, a main front edge, a main back edge, a main left edge, and a main right edge. The main left edge and the main right edge has a channel extending therethrough. The main top side has a pole aperture extending through the main bottom side. The pole aperture is configured to receive a tip of a paint pole. A pair of wing panels is slidably coupled within the channel of the main left edge and the main right edge. A distance between an outer edge of each wing panel defines an adjustable length of the apparatus.

    摘要: A wall construction system includes multiple block types that interfit with one another to form walls in a staggered arrangement. Block types include jamb blocks having front and back surfaces, a planar surface on a first end, and a second side having a projecting surface or a receiving surface configured to mate with the projecting surface. The jamb block includes a top mating surface and a bottom mating surface configured to mate with the top mating surface. Webs extend from the front surface to the back surface to form voids. A multi-directional elevation is formed over a void adjacent the planar surface to permit stacking of blocks in two orientations. Other block types include a half jamb block having a web to form a void and a planar surface, and a web stretcher having a projecting surface on one end and a receiving surface on another end.

    摘要: A device for use in lifting, transporting and installing sheet material has a base, wheels on which the base is supported, a mast that extends upwardly from the base, a carriage that is in engagement with the mast, a supporting head that is mounted to the carriage, and a lifting mechanism to provide support to the carriage in the longitudinal direction of the mast. The wheels include rear wheels that are connected to the rear of the base in a manner that permits steering of the device during movement across a surface, and a front wheel set that is connected to the front of the base. The front wheel set includes a wheel to each side of the device, and the wheels of the front wheel set are rotatable about a common axis. The connection of the mast to the base is such that the mast is rotatable relative to the base about a rotational axis. The device further has an actuator that is operable to change the angular position of the mast relative to the base. The supporting head is configured to support sheet material above the surface.
