Powered Tool Utilizing Interchangeable Driver Assemblies For Removal Of Various Sized Fasteners From A Host Material

US Patent:
8146891, Apr 3, 2012
Filed:
Apr 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/082274
Inventors:
Jon X. Giltner - Boulder CO, US
Wayne G. Johannes - Rocky Ford CO, US
Assignee:
Reconnx, Inc. - Boulder CO
International Classification:
B25C 11/00
US Classification:
254 18, 2924353, 2924354, 2924355
Abstract:
Powered tools and interchangeable driver assemblies for removal of fasteners from a host material are disclosed. The tool includes a housing having a chamber operatively associated with an actuator assembly. Interchangeable driver assemblies may be provided that include a plurality of interchangeable particularly configured drive pins and a plurality of interchangeable guide elements, each guide element selectively adapted for use with a different one of the drive pins. The guide element has an elongate central passage therethrough, is receivable by a mount releasably maintained at the housing adjacent the chamber, and may be configured for slidable retention thereat. In such case, the guide element is biased toward a fully extended position and is slidable between the fully extended position and a retracted position.

Methods For Extracting Fasteners From A Host Material

US Patent:
7140087, Nov 28, 2006
Filed:
Apr 8, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/101751
Inventors:
Jon X. Giltner - Boulder CO, US
Assignee:
ReConnX, Inc. - Boulder CO
International Classification:
B23P 19/00, B23P 19/04, B23B 13/50
US Classification:
294261, 294264, 2940208, 81 532, 254 18
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for extraction of nails, screws and other such fasteners from wood or other host materials are disclosed. One embodiment of the apparatus includes a shank adapted for application at a rotational drive source, a two-part engaging member at one end of the shank having a cavity extending thereinto for receiving therein a fastener to be extracted and openable to release the fastener after extraction. A cutting component is defined at a bottom edge of the engaging member adjacent to an opening to the cavity for cleanly removing host material from around the fastener. A gripping surface formation comprising a spiraling striation is formed at a surface of the cavity for threadably engaging the fastener to be removed.

Joint Forming Method And Apparatus

US Patent:
6378579, Apr 30, 2002
Filed:
Apr 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/824261
Inventors:
Jon X. Giltner - Boulder CO
Assignee:
ReConnX, Inc. - Boulder CO
International Classification:
B27F 100
US Classification:
144347, 144345, 1563045, 156218, 1563042, 428192, 463265, 463364
Abstract:
A finger joint architecture method and formation apparatus are disclosed, the finger joint architecture characterized by an array of interspersed projections and cavities formed at an end face of a first wood product. The projections are spaced from one another in both first and second dimensions defining the end face and are formed by the cavities which are bored through the end face. A mating array of projections and cavities is formed at an end of another wood product to be secured to the first wood product. The projections and cavities thus formed are preferably tapered.

Wood Product Joint Forming Apparatus

US Patent:
2003002, Feb 6, 2003
Filed:
Apr 15, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/122829
Inventors:
Jon Giltner - Boulder CO, US
Assignee:
ReconnX, Inc.
International Classification:
B32B023/02
US Classification:
428/192000
Abstract:
A finger joint architecture method and formation apparatus are disclosed, the finger joint forming apparatus including one or more cavity forming devises (rotary tool or tools for example) positionable to provide interspersed cavities at an end face of a first wood product, with projections, spaced from one another in both first and second dimensions defining the end face, defined by the cavities thus bored through the end face. A mating array of projections and cavities is formed by the apparatus at an end of another wood product to be secured to the first wood product and the two ends are glued and joined at adhesive application and joining stations.
