Patent CA-2597310-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEINER RICHARD A
IPC: H01R43/042
Filed: 2007-08-15
Abstract: A hand tool includes a work portion and a user/operator interface portion comprising a handle. The handle comprises a pair of elongated members each including a generally I-shaped cross-section. Each elongated member includes a gripping portion. The gripping portion has a first surface and a primary user--interface surface having curvatures in three dimensions and preferably defined by a plurality of constant radii. As such, the handle conforms to the hands of a user/operator and reduces or eliminates undesirable pressure concentration points. The first surface of the gripping portion is provided with a finger registration portion which receives and positions the fingers of the operator around the gripping portion. The hand tool more efficiently transfers the operator input force through the hand tool to a workpiece and provides an improved comfort to the operator.

Abstract: A carrier and balance assembly for installation into the jamb channel of a window frame. The carrier and balance assembly are capable of being installed into the jamb channel optionally either as a single assembly or as two separate components. The two separate components are the carrier and a hanger-balance subassembly. The advantage of installing the carrier and balance assembly as two separate components is that such installation can occur after the assembly of the window frame and even after installation of the window into the wall of a building. Once the carrier and hanger-balance subassembly are separately installed in the jamb channel, they are then non-permanently locked together. Should any part of the carrier and balance assembly become damaged, replacement is performed by simply reversing the process described above without having to damage the jamb channel.
