An apparatus configured for use with a router includes a top plate, a carriage, a threaded shaft, a first adjustment mechanism, and a second adjustment mechanism. The carriage is configured to at least partially surround the router. The threaded shaft has a first longitudinal axis, the shaft connecting the top plate and carriage so that the carriage is movable along the first longitudinal axis. Rotation of the first adjustment mechanism about the first longitudinal axis in a first direction and for a number of rotations is configured to rotate the threaded shaft about the first longitudinal axis in the first direction at a first speed. Rotation of the second adjustment mechanism about a second longitudinal axis for the number of rotations is configured to rotate the threaded shaft about the first longitudinal axis in the first direction and at a second speed that is faster than the first speed.

Router lift

A combined strainer and valve release structure formed as a unitary part of polyethylene with the strainer having a perforated wall and the valve release having a pushrod located on one side of the wall and an actuator tab located on the other side of the wall, with the pushrod in proximity to a movable member of an inlet check valve in a rest position and manually movable to an actuated position to dislodge the movable member when the movable member is adhered to a valve seat in the inlet check valve. The strainer moves the pushrod to the rest position when released from manual actuation.

Paint spreader

Modular manual roller handle

An improved internal feed paint brush having a flexible liquid-impermeable paint distribution manifold interior of a plurality of filaments formed of a flat, woven nylon cloth conduit coated with polyurethane film and sealed to a rigid plastic end cap and having a plurality of channels in the distribution manifold formed by a plurality of spaced-apart, longitudinally extending bonds in the coated nylon material. The manifold is sonically welded to the end cap and the filament and manifold assembly is sealed with epoxy.

Powered caulker

A roller arm guide allows conversion of a paint spray gun for use as a paint roller, with optional attachment of an in-line cartridge filter. A track on the base of the spray gun retains a channel member on the elongate body of the roller arm guide. A filter support ring at the proximal end of the roller arm guide provides support for a conventional in-line filter and a crescent shaped roller arm engaging lip on the exterior of the filter support ring provides support for a paint roller arm.

Combined inflator and deflator coupler

An accessory for inflating and deflating inflatable articles comprises a conduit 13, an intake 17, an outtake 19 and an injector 35. In use, conduit 13 functions as a venturi tube for rapid inflation and deflation of inflatable articles, preferably, articles having a large, low pressure air volume. For inflation, outtake 19 is connected to the inflatable article. For deflation, intake 17 is connected to the inflated article. For inflation and deflation, a source of pressurized air, preferably, an electric air compressor is connected to injector 35.
