Appl. No.:

09/927590

Inventors:

Michael Wise - Marine City MI, US

International Classification:

E04B001/00

US Classification:

052/439000, 052/259000, 052/220100, 052/582100

Abstract:

A device for creating a receptacle within preformed walls, the preformed walls having an internal wall and an external wall such that a curable material may be poured therebetween. The device having a first, second, third, and fourth panel that are interconnected and receive a fifth panel at an inner edge thereof such that an opening is defined by the first, second, third, and fourth panel at an outer edge thereof which is distal to the fifth panel. Inserting the device into a cavity defined through the internal wall such that the outer edge of the first, second, third, and fourth panels may be attached to the internal wall during pouring of the curable material. The opening adapted to receive a member therein.

Appl. No.:

8/920914

Inventors:

Michael A. Wise - Marine City MI

International Classification:

E04B 138

US Classification:

52702

Abstract:

A joist hanger includes a thin, flat base whose back side defines a surface area sufficient to cover a rearwardly-tapered through-hole formed in an interior panel of a modular wall preform. The joist hanger includes at least one anchor member on the back side of the base. Each anchor member extends rearwardly from the base into the through-hole to a depth greater the nominal thickness of the first panel. Each anchor member defines an angled deflecting surface such that, with the joist hanger's base secured to the panel so as to cover the through-hole, and with the anchor members extending into and through the through-hole, wall material poured into the preform will be urged by the deflecting surfaces toward the back side of the joist hanger, into the through-hole and around the anchor members, whereby the presence of voids behind the joist hanger is greatly reduced.

International Classification:

B23B 4102

US Classification:

408204

Abstract:

A rotary tool for forming a blind-tapered hole in a workpiece includes an elongate shaft having a bit shank on one end and a base plate secured to the other end. A collar, mounted for axial movement on the shaft, is biased away from the base plate to a first position on the shaft by a return spring. At least two cutting blades are pivotally attached to the collar. A portion of the length of each cutting blade is fixedly circumferentially and radially supported relative to the shaft by a blade guide that rotates with the shaft such that the angle formed between each cutting blade and the shaft's rotational axis increases with increasing axial displacement of the collar on the shaft away from the first position.
