Title: A pool cleaning vehicle with mechanism for skewing an axle
Inventor: HANAN ETHAN
IPC: E04H4/16
Filed: 2013-08-28
Abstract: A self directed pool cleaning vehicle comprising a body carrying water inlet and outlet ports with the inlet port being located on the bottom of the body with the body containing a filter is described. A drive mechanism propels the vehicle in two generally opposed directions. Two axles which each carry two wheels support the body and control its direction of movement. One axle is mounted to the body via slots that extend in the directions of motion such that this axle can move toward either end of the slots. A steering structure is provided with a portion that moves to close a portion of one of the slots and can be locked in a position that prevents one end of an axle from traversing its slot. Thus when this axle is the trialing axle it is held at other than a right angle to the two generally opposed directions. co C= Ln Ln C',4 cn C=

Title: A hole saw assembly
Inventor: KEIGHTLEY KYM
IPC: B23B51/04
Filed: 2013-10-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a hole-saw assembly includes a hole-saw having at one end a plurality of cutting teeth and with a boss attached to the hole-saw at the other end two shafts. The assembly includes a mandrel coaxially aligned with said hole-saw and 5 including a body having two bores there through coaxially aligned with said shafts. An annulus located on top of the body is coaxially aligned with said mandrel and hole saw and includes two holes, the annulus rotatable around its longitudinal axis from a first to a second position. In the first position the annulus holes are aligned with the bores and shafts allowing the shafts to be freely insertable and removable and in the second position the holes are 10 misaligned to lock the shafts to the annulus. The mandrel further includes a pair of driving pins adapted to engage driving apertures found in hole-saws especially larger ones. Typically the driving pins may be biased to enable the assembly to be used even with those hole-saws that do not include driving apertures and that also enables easier assembly of the device. A compressible O-ring may further facilitate the operation of the assembly. This device avoids 15 the problem of thread stripping. The invention further provides for a boss that can be used with larger hole-saws and includes notches that accommodate driving pains extending on the side of the boss and where appropriate into the driving apertures.
