Abstract:
A pocket size punch mechanism is provided to punch openings in cards or card-like objects, the punched openings have a cross-sectional configuration and spacing matching the configuration and spacing of a pair of rails in a commonly available card file. Also shown is mounting structure for adapting cards and card-like objects for mounting in the same type of two rail card file. A plurality of mounting members of a stiff stock material are fabricated on a sheet, the mounting members being individually removable from the sheet as needed to form a member having openings conforming to the configuration of the card file rails. A portion of the mounting member has adhesive thereon to secure to the back of the item to be mounted.
Abstract:
A built-up puncher comprises of a pressure plate, a stand body and a bottom block, wherein the stand body is having a plurality of fixed supports mounted thereon for setting therein of a plurality of eye-letting means respectively. The fixed supports each is having a front extension with an opening and two notches made thereon to match with the retaining slots of the pressure plate so as to make the mounting and dismounting of the pressure plate onto and from the stand body become easy.
Abstract:
A device for manual hole punching of sheet material is made up from extruded profiles, one forming a cover (1), which is movable towards a bottom part (2) formed from two combined sections (7,8). The cover carries punches (22) running in holes (23). A counter-acting spring bias is obtained by spring means (25) inserted between the cover and bottom part.
Abstract:
A punch tool provides two generally longitudinal handles joined by a transverse pivot pin that is carried in a resilient bushing. One of the handles defines a straight bore that houses a sliding punch die and further defines a support for a mating, stationary die. The second handle is joined to the sliding die such that relative movement between the handles causes the sliding die to move within the bore, toward or away from the stationary die. Flexibility of the bushing permits the pivot pin to shift its axis longitudinally of the tool while permitting straight movement of the sliding die.
Abstract:
A hand-operated punch is formed of molded parts which interfit for easy and rapid assembly and disassembly. This feature is particularly useful if there are paper jams. A handle hooks under a wall of the base. Depressing the handle forces downward a transverse bar recessed to accept the upper ends of the male punch elements, which are spring-biased to travel with the transverse bar. The punch elements reciprocate within a die bar detachably connected to the base. The die bar is formed with a throat for insertion of papers to be punched. The front edge of the base is formed with a transverse groove to accept a male binder element during assembly of a book comprised of the punched paper.
Abstract:
After the removal of a burned out fluorescent lighting tube and its transport to a waste collecting locale, a hand held and hand operated tool is inserted in part over a tube end. Thereafter upon creating a squeezing force, via the lever action of this tool, a sharp pointed cutter is safely driven through the glass of the tube. A small vent hole is created, through which air passes until the outside and inside air pressures are the same. Thereafter, the tube is safely and progressively hit against the rim of a waste container to break the tube into small waste pieces, which drop into this container. In a preferred embodiment, two lever portions of a hand width length, are hinged at their leading ends, which are sized to fit over and partially down the end of the fluorescent lighting tube. A sharp pointed cutter is set back a short distance from the leading edge of one lever portion and positioned within an internally threadable upright embossment. The cutter head is formed to receive a blade of a screwdriver used in threading this sharp pointed cutter down through the embossment and beyond into a tube end piercing or cutting position. A compression spring is positioned and secured to keep the free ends of the two lever portions apart at a selected convenient open starting angle, until the squeezing force is applied to press them together, thereby insuring the penetration of the sharp pointed cutter into the interior of the burned out fluorescent lighting tube.
Abstract:
Described is a hand punch which can be constructed in a narrow compact form and of few and simple parts. It includes a narrow base formed with a plurality (e.g. two) punch pin openings in a straight line along the length of the base, a pair of lever arms pivotably mounted at opposite ends of the base on pivotal axes parallel to the width of the base, and punch pins received in openings in the lever arms and arranged such that a manual force applied to one of the lever arms to move same towards the base, also moves the other lever arm towards the base, and the plurality of punch pins through the openings in the base. The base is preferably constructed of a multi-leg channel member elongated in the direction of its length, the channel member having four spaced legs, the lower two of which define a compartment for receiving the paper chips, and the middle two of which define a slot for receiving the paper sheet to be punched. All the legs except the bottommost one are provided with openings for guiding the movement of the punch pins.
Abstract:
A pliers-type tool for locking around a work piece such as a post and slidably mounting a punch which when struck by a hammer will pierce the work piece. The tool is especially adapted for embracing and gripping a highway delineator or sign post to prevent distortion thereof after the post is driven into the ground so that a hole is easily punched in the post adjacent ground level and facing traffic for forming a weakened fracture zone whereby the post will break at ground level without leaving an upstanding segment when impacted by a vehicle and is then fit for reuse by driving the broken end into the ground and then using the tool to punch a hole in the post at the new ground level thereof.
