Inventor: VALENTE CHRISTOPHER M
IPC: E05F15/70
Filed: 1999-03-10
Abstract: An operator for opening and closing movable barriers such as garage doors comprising a pass-point system which is a component of an operating head. The operator also comprises a motor and a transmission assembly for transmitting power from the motor to the barrier. A controller is used to set a limit point and for controlling motor operation. The controller is responsive to an input command and generates a signal for enabling the motor to move the barrier approximately to the limit point, stopping approximately at the limit point. A limit system includes a pass point system which defines an intermediate reference point and which provides a pass point signal to the controller when the intermediate reference point is passed so that subsequent displacement may be measured with respect to the intermediate reference point.

Filed: 2007-06-07
Abstract: A clamping tool has first and second handles operatively connected to first and second jaws, e.g. clamping or crimping jaws and a retractable third handle attached to the first handle. A  spring biases the first and second handles toward a non-engaging position and a restraint arrangement maintains the position of the first and second handles against the biasing force of the spring as the handles move toward the engaging position. In use, the third and second handles are moved toward one another from the engaging position to the non-engaging position. Between the positions, the handles are released and the restraint arrangement maintains the handles in the released position. Thereafter, the first and second handles are engaged, and the handles are moved toward one another to move the handles and the jaws into the engaging position.
