Hand tool for joining sheets of material - has material from one sheet forced into hole in second sheet by pin in jaw of pliers

The hand tool resembling pliers is used to join two sheets or strips of material together. One jaw (2) of the pliers has a screw with a plain end (5) which projects beyond the face of the jaw. The other jaw (3) has a spring loaded pin (6) which also projects above the face of the jaw. A strip or sheet of material (11) has a hole (12) fitted over the end of the pin. A second strip or sheet (10) is placed between the jaws which are then closed. The end of the screw deforms the material of the strip or sheet forcing it into the hole as the pin is forced downwards. The button formed by the deformation of the strip is wedged in the hole holds the two strips together.

Cabinet Hanging Clamp

The part that is new in the art of the Cabinet Hanging Clamp is that it is specifically designed to work on framed cabinets, which would be a very large percentage of cabinets manufactured across the United States and possibly elsewhere. Hundreds of thousands of these cabinets are sold each year to contractors developing apartment buildings, condominiums, or housing developments. This tool attachment will help any person installing the cabinets in these large developments by speeding up the installation time, eliminating the need for help, and will reduce strain on the installer by having to not constantly hold up the wall cabinet by hand to install. 1. I claim that the cabinet hanging clamp is an attachment to a locking plier with a bracket that has the purpose of attaching to the top center of the side panel of a framed cabinet , so that the plier locks on the cabinet prior to installation , then supports the weight of the cabinet as it is lifted and hung on to another cabinet. The clamp holds and aligns the cabinet in exact alignment to the previous cabinet installed , so that it can be attached to the wall and adjoining cabinet.2. I claim that the other optional aspect of the cabinet hanging clamp can be made into a permanent 18 or 20 gauge metal bracket screwed to the top center side panel of a framed wall cabinet before installation without the use of the locking plier clamp.3. I claim that another optional aspect of the cabinet hanging clamp can also be used to hold and align base cabinets until fastened. The Cabinet Hanging clamp is a tool created by Colum Rodgers to ease the hanging of framed kitchen wall cabinet (this will not work on frameless cabinets). The tool works in this way a first cabinet must be installed on the wall in the usual manner by holding it up by hand, leveling the cabinet, and screwing the cabinet into the wall. Once that cabinet is installed it then can act as a guide to use the Cabinet Hanging clamp to install all adjoining ...

EMERGENCY ROOM RING CRACKER AND CUTTER

The present invention discloses a ring cutter and ring cracker intended for use by medical personnel. The ring cutter employs a tissue guard that slips under the ring to protect the patient's finger or other appendage. A clipper head is inserted into the tissue guard. The tissue guard does not move and prevents the jaws of the clipper from injuring the patient. The tissue guard may be constructed of plastic that will break away after use to prevent contamination between patients. The invention also incorporates a ring cracker for breaking tungsten or ceramic rings. A recess in a ring base in one of the arms of the ring clipper retains a part of a ring. In the other arm, a threaded bolt with a hardened tip extends toward the ring. The arms of the clipper can be locked by a bar in a fixed position. A knob on the bolt allows a hardened tip at the end of the bolt to exert pressure on the tungsten or ceramic ring until it cracks, without injury to the patient. 1. A ring remover comprising:a ring clipper comprising jaws connected to handles, each jaw comprising a blade and opposing faces extending from the blade to an opposite edge, wherein each blade has a tip end and a fulcrum end opposite the tip end, and wherein the blades of the jaws can be spread apart and brought together about a fulcrum by the handles,a tissue guard comprising a base, opposing sides extending up from the base, a front, a back, an open top, and an interior space formed by the base, opposing sides, front, back and open top, the base comprising an opening sized to receive the jaws of the ring clipper within the interior space with the tip ends of the blades directed toward the open top and the opposing faces of the jaws parallel to the opposing sides of the tissue guard, and wherein the interior space is sized to accommodate the blades and allow the blades to be spread apart and brought together within the interior space,a protective fang having a fang tip end and a fang base end, wherein the fang is ...

UNIVERSAL TOOLS

A universal tool which can be a screwdriver, wrench, pliers, or any other tool. The tool can operate on an object (e.g., a screw, bolt, etc.) of any shape because of a set of pins that can mold to match a shape of the object.
