Abstract:

A controlling and monitoring control application associated with one or more work operations of one or more utility devices is disclosed. The controller is programmed for controlling one or more external work operations associated with one or more utility devices. An I/O board is connected in communication with the primary controller having a module with a plurality of device-specific control applications associated with one or more device-specific work operations. The housing of the controller includes one or more cable access points for plugging a cable into the controller. The cable access points are sealed to prevent water from entering into the housing. A mounting bracket assembly provides flexibility for mounting the controller at various orientations and/or positions. The controller also includes a DC control circuit for controlling backlight luminance over the entire dimming ratio.

International Classification:

F41A 23/18
F41A 11/00

Abstract:

A firearm maintenance aid can include a firearm vise and a firearm support device. Firearm vise can include vise jaws, a threaded rod connecting vise jaws together, and jaw pin holes in each jaw, the holes extending from an outer surface of a jaw through to an inner surface of each jaw, wherein the holes in the first jaw align with the holes in the second jaw. Firearm support device can include a clamping portion and a supporting portion. The clamping portion can be clamped between the jaws of the firearm vise, can include two parallel clamping faces, and can define vise pin holes that align with the jaw pin holes. The supporting portion can be located opposite the clamping portion and can include a cylindrical shaft. Vise pins can be received by the jaw pin holes and vise pin holes to fixedly connect the support device to the vise.

B25G 1/08
B25B 23/18
B25B 23/142

Abstract:

A screwdriver system can include a primary driver and a secondary driver. The primary driver can include an attachment feature configured to couple to a driver bit socket. The attachment feature can be mechanically coupled to the driver shaft such that torque applied to the attachment feature is transferred to the shaft. The secondary driver can include a driver bit socket at the end of its shaft. The attachment feature of the primary driver can be structured, configured, and oriented such that the secondary driver can reversibly couple to the attachment feature via the driver bit socket of the secondary driver shaft. The secondary driver, when so-coupled, can be oriented with the primary axis of the secondary driver shaft generally perpendicular to the primary axis of the primary driver. In some examples, the primary driver can be a torque wrench.

International Classification:

B67D 7/32
B65D 83/00
B67D 7/02

Abstract:

A dispenser dispenses a consumable product from a container. The container is supported within a housing by a container holder. The container holder is vertically moveable within a movement range in the housing. A biasing structure biases the container holder upwardly. A sign is connected to move up and down with the container holder. An indicator associated with the sign is vertically fixed relative to the housing. When an amount of product remaining in the container reaches a low level, the biasing force of the biasing structure will lift the container holder, causing the indicator to be aligned with a portion of the sign that gives a visual cue to a user that the amount of product remaining is at a low level.
