International Classification:

B23B051/02
US Classification:

408/199000
Abstract:

A drywall routing bit for cutting laterally in a drywall or sheetrock panel includes an elongated body terminating at one end in a tip for penetrating the panel. The bit includes a single helical flute which defines a cutting edge at a helix angle relative to said longitudinal axis of the bit of 36-38. The cutting edge of the flute is defined at a rake angle of 20-26. The fluted portion of the bit has a web thickness that is 60%-63% of the bit outer diameter, for a ⅛″ diameter bit. The tip of the bit includes angled chisel edges subtending an angle of 113-123 and following a shallow S-shaped curvature relative to a plane including the subtended angle.

US Patent:

20100154131, Jun 24, 2010
Filed:

Dec 22, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/341329
Inventors:

Steven D. Paul - Louisville KY, US
Christopher G. Hoppe - Louisville KY, US
Craig Vitan - Louisville KY, US
Steven Recio - Louisville KY, US
Carl W. Risen - Louisville KY, US
Russell Katona - Cleveland OH, US
International Classification:

D06F 37/36
D06F 39/02
US Classification:

8159, 68 1202, 68 1204
Abstract:

A washing system and method for load size and water retention detection includes a cabinet, a tub position within the cabinet, a basket with a wash load received therein rotatably supported within the tub, and a drive system for rotating the basket. A controller is operatively coupled to the drive system. The controller rotates the rotatable basket to urge the wash load radially outwardly in the basket and then decelerates the rotatable basket with the wash load urged radially outwardly to or below a predetermined threshold speed. An amount of time from initial deceleration of the rotatable basket until the rotatable basket is at or below the predetermined threshold speed is measured and the measured amount of time is used to determine a parameter of the wash load.
