A light detector which includes a housing having front and rear walls, a light receiving section disposed on the front wall, and displays disposed on the front and rear walls for showing the location of received light relative on the light receiving section. Also disclosed is a laser level including a motor, a shaft driven by the motor, a housing fixedly disposed on the shaft, the housing having a bore therein, a barrel, and a screw disposed on the housing and contracting the barrel for adjusting the pivotal position of the barrel.

Surface mountable assembly for a line generating device

A manifold includes a plurality of inlet passages provided in fluid communication between an inlet and an outlet passage. A housing retains a pressurized gas cartridge in sealed fluid communication with each of the inlet passages. A check valve is located in at least one of the inlet passages. The check valve is biased to a closed position that prevents gas from flowing through the check valve to the inlet of the inlet passage. Thus, gas cannot exit through the inlet when a pressurized gas cartridge is not sealed thereto. The housing retains a viscous product cartridge and forms a gas enclosure separated from a product enclosure by a movable wall. The gas from the pressurized gas cartridges passes into the gas enclosure and generates a force on the movable wall to dispense product from the product cartridge.

Laser level

A light detector which includes a housing having front and rear walls, a light receiving section disposed on the front wall, and displays disposed on the front and rear walls for showing the location of received light relative on the light receiving section. Also disclosed is a laser level including a motor, a shaft driven by the motor, a housing fixedly disposed on the shaft, the housing having a bore therein, a barrel pivotally connected to the housing, a laser diode module disposed within the barrel, and a screw disposed on the housing and contacting the barrel for adjusting the pivotal position of the barrel.

A collet assembly for a tool comprising a collet nut rotatably connectable to the tool; a collet operatively connectable to the collet nut; and a collet wrench movably connected with the tool and engageable with the collet nut for tightening and loosening the collet.

Tool-free collet tightener

A chuck,includes a body,having a plurality of angularly spaced ribs,and,formed in a forward cylindrical opening,thereof. A locking element,is movable within a passage,of the body,and is formed with a defined portion,which is extendable from the passage,through an inboard peak surface,of the rib,and into the opening,An actuator,is coupled to the locking element,and is biased by a spring,to urge normally the defined portion,of the locking element into the opening,A bit,is formed with a shank,with three grooves,and,extending axially to a free end,thereof. A pocket,is formed in a base of each of the grooves,and,The bit,can be manually inserted into the opening,of the chuck,such that the grooves,and,are located drivingly over at least portions of the ribs,and,respectively. In addition, the defined portion,of the locking element,is located biasingly within the pocket,to lock the bit,with the chuck
