Rihanna is turning Black Friday into Nude Friday. Her third signature fragrance, Nude, will launch at Macy's on November 23, the day after Thanksgiving, according toWomen's Wear Daily.
Rihanna is turning Black Friday into Nude Friday. Her third signature fragrance, Nude, will launch at Macy's on November 23, the day after Thanksgiving, according toWomen's Wear Daily.
Are Rihanna and Chris Brown (aka ChRihanna) trying to tell us something, like, say, the status of their relationship is none of our bidness? The duo's duet 'Nobody's Business' has hit the web and it's got a '70s-inspired beat. But beyond that, it's also coyly suggestive about their status and rife with dual meaning.
Over the past 50 years, James Bond has encountered many lovely and luscious Bond girls, but current James Bond star Daniel Craig says that if Bond could choose a pop star to romance onscreen, it'd be Rihanna.
In honor of her upcoming seventh studio album, Unapologetic, Rihanna is planning a blowout promotional jaunt that she's dubbed the "777" tour. Why? Because she plans to board a Boeing 777 twinjet and fly around the world, performing seven intimate concerts in seven countries in seven days.
The best part of the 777 tour, which starts November 14, is that a group of die-hard Rihanna fans will be joining her for the unprecedented trip.
Looking for a truly blinged-out gift this holiday season to show you really care? Rihanna may have just the item for you.
Nicki Minaj has released the track list for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded the Re-Up. The multi-disc set features the original tracks from Roman Reloaded along with a second disc of several new songs, plus a DVD.
To err is human. To forgive is divine. That seems to be Rihanna's philosophy when it comes to Chris Brown, the ex who beat her til she was battered, bruised and bloodied in 2009. The duo are like magnets that can't stay apart, and as rumors continue to heat up regarding their reconciliation, RiRi tweeted a biblical verse about forgiveness.
Rihanna looks fierce on her Vogue cover and shows her vulnerable side within the mag, and now we got a behind-the-scenes look at her shoot. And guess what? Unretouched Rihanna is just as, if not more stunning than the photos you see in print. She credits a lot of her beauty to her ability to be herself.
If Rihanna had to apologize for everything she's ever done that has earned her criticism over the years, including and especially her relationship with Chris Brown, she wouldn't have time to sing. That's probably one reason she's titled her new album Unapologetic.
In the ever important world of social media statistics, Rihanna is shining bright like a diamond. She has won another popularity contest. The 'Diamonds' singer has cruised past rapper Eminem as the person on Facebook with the most "likes." Em was tops on Facebook for quite some time, but Ri has unseated him and usurped his throne. Guess he wasn't watchin' it.

Publisher's Description
When Karlina Richter finds out that a new shepherd will be sent to East Amana, she fears she'll no longer be able to help her father with the sheep. She'll be relegated back to kitchen work, a job she dislikes. Her fears increase when Anton Becker arrives and shows little interest in the flock--or in divulging why he's been sent to East. Dare she trust Anton to help her father, or is he keeping secrets that will impact them all?
After learning that her father will be transferred from Cincinnati to a job in Texas, Dovie Cates decides she wants to visit the Amana Colonies, where her mother spent her formative years. She writes to relatives still living in the Colonies and is invited to spend some time there. Soon after her arrival, Dovie meets Berndt, the handsome young man who delivers bread to the kitchen house each day. But when Dovie begins to ask questions about her mother's past, no one seems willing to tell her anything, so Dovie decides to take matters into her own hands. Will her decision spell disaster for her future with Berndt?

This application claims priority to and is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/993,177 filed Nov. 16, 2001 titled Hand-Held Tool Containing a Removable Attachable Object Sensor, now abandoned which is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 09/501,194 filed on Feb. 10, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,364,580, the entire contents of each are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to hand-held electric or pneumatic tools having an object sensor removably attached to the tool.
Hand-held tools powered by electricity (corded (AC) or battery pack (DC)) or compressed air, such as drills, reciprocating saws, screwdrivers, and nailers are extensively used by electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and others. Common tasks for such devices generally include drilling holes, driving fasteners such as screws, and cutting various materials. Some of these tasks require the use of drill bits and tool bits that are typically stored separately from the hand-held drill.
Frequently, building tradesmen are confronted with the task of finding some suitable structure, such as a stud, hidden behind a visible wall surface to securely hold a nail or screw. Various stud sensors have been developed to locate studs. These sensors can also be used to locate conduit, exhaust vents, rebar, plumbing and other hidden material a tradesman may wish to avoid drilling or cutting into. More importantly, building tradesmen have to drill holes or cut materials in the vicinity of "live" electrical lines. Various sensors have been developed to locate electrical wires, especially "live" wires. Further, other types of sensors have been developed to help tradesmen locate and distinguish different materials hidden behind walls. Collectively, these sensors are defined as object sensors.
While highly effective, one problem with such object sensors is that they are a separate piece of equipment that the tradesman may lose or merely not carry on him when he needs it. Prior art solutions have been to provide the workers with pouches and the like that can be worn about the waist. While these pouches eliminate the need for the operator to leave the workplace to get the object sensor, the workman must remember to first place the object sensor in the pocket and then search the myriad of pockets to find the object sensor. Thus, a significant savings of time may not be realized.
One proposed solution is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,262,240, which shows a nail gun having an object sensor attached to the gun. One drawback of this device is that the object sensor is not readily removable from the nail gun and is therefore not easily used separate from the nail gun. Moreover, the sensor is attached to the tool by clamps that require yet another tool to loosen or remove the clamp and thus, the sensor.
Another proposed solution is shown in U.S. patent application publication Ser. No. 2001/0053313 A1, which shows a subsurface object locator that can be attached to the top of a drill housing and is shaped to provide a handrest for operating the drill. The disclosed device, however, requires a special drill housing and also requires several cooperating parts, which increases the cost and complexity of the device.
Therefore, there still exists a need for a hand-held power (AC and/or DC) or pneumatic tool with a removably attached object sensor that is simple to manufacture and that can be used separate from the tool.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a hand-held power (AC and/or DC) or pneumatic tool having a removable object sensor. The object sensor may be to an attachment member formed as part of the tool housing, or attached to a removable attachment member, such as an accessory tray or battery pack.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a hand-held power tool is provided with a housing. The housing includes a drive mechanism connected to a rotary output shaft that is aligned along a tool axis. Further, a handle portion is aligned along a handle axis. The handle portion has a power activator switch for activating the drive mechanism. In one embodiment, an object sensor is removably attached to an attachment member formed as part of the housing. In another embodiment, the object sensor is removably attached to an attachment member that, in turn, is removably attached to the housing. The tool may be powered by electricity (AC and/or DC power) or compressed air.
In another embodiment, the tool is a hand-held drill that includes an attachment member where the attachment member is a battery pack. The object sensor may be formed as part of or integral with the battery pack or may be removably attached to the battery pack. The removable attachment member may further comprise a level.
In another embodiment, the hand-held tool is a reciprocating saw having a drive mechanism and a housing. A removable attachment member comprising an object sensor is removably attached to the housing. The reciprocating saw may be powered by electricity (AC or DC) or compressed air.
The above object and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention are readily apparent from the following detailed description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
Referring now to
In operation, a tool such as a tool bit, drill bit, or similar device is coupled to the rotary output shaft for working on a workpiece. The tool is removably coupled to the rotary output shaft using a chuck 29, as conventionally known. The chuck may be keyless or require a key (not shown) to open and close the chuck. Common tasks performed by the tool and hand-held power drill combination include, for example, drilling holes and driving fasteners on and into the workpiece.
A power activation switch 24 is disposed on the handle for activating the drive mechanism and motor to rotate the rotary output shaft. Preferably, a battery 26 is connected to the handle portion at the power supply end 28 and provides electrical DC power to activate the drive mechanism and motor for rotating the rotary output shaft. The present invention, however, may be incorporated into corded power drills (not shown) supplying AC power as well. The term electric as used in this application means electric power by means of AC or DC power. Additionally, the present invention may be incorporated into compressed air-powered tools as well (as shown in
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention as shown in
Alternatively, as shown in
In an alternative embodiment illustrated in
As best shown in
The removable attachment member may be configured with a level 52. The removable attachment member may also be provided with a recess 38 for receiving a tool bit 40 where the bit is captured in the recess by a detent formed by two opposing spring protrusions 42. Preferably, an identical recess 38 is disposed on the opposite side of the removable attachment member having a detent formed by spring protrusions 42 for holding another tool bit 40 securely in place.
In operation, the drill of the present invention is used as a normal drill. When the tradesman must check the orientation of a surface, he can detach the removable attachment member from the drill and place it on a surface 70 as shown in
Additionally, as shown in
The present invention may also be incorporated onto other hand-held power tools such as a reciprocating saw (as shown in

Referring now to
As a result, the object sensor in a storage position is attached to the attachment member. When the tradesman wishes to use the sensor, it is slidably removed from the attachment member and, depending on the type of sensor; it may be opened or put in an operable position, as shown in
The object sensor 60 is removably attached to the attachment member 30. In the embodiment shown in
Alternatively, the coupling member may be provided with a portion of a complementary engagement member 314 such as a tongue portion for a tongue and groove engagement member to receive a complementary portion provided on the object sensor (not shown). In this arrangement, the object sensor will be engaged with the attachment member from a single direction. For example, the object sensor will be lifted upward to slidably disengage the object sensor from the coupling member provided on the attachment member.
A desirable feature that may be provided with the attachment member of this embodiment is a tray 300 that can be used for storing objects useful with the tool. For example, drill bits, screws, and the like can be stored in the tray. The tray may be magnetized to better retain objects placed in the tray. Alternatively, a cover (not shown) could be placed over the tray to retain objects placed within the tray.
Thus, the present invention has many advantages and benefits over the prior art. For example, the present invention provides a means for making a sensor and level readily available to a tradesman.
Alternatively, the object sensor can be designed to attach to the electric power cord and/or the compressed air hose. The object sensor may comprise a trough on any of its surfaces sized to receive the electric power cord and/or compressed air hose. The trough may be sized slightly smaller than the cord and/or hose for secure attachment. Tangs may project from the surface having the trough to partially cover the trough to further secure the cord and/or hose. When the tradesman desires to use the object sensor, he can either use the sensor attached to the cord and/or hose or simply remove the object sensor from the cord and/or cable by gently pulling on the object sensor until it is released. When finished, the tradesman can reattach the object sensor to the cord and/or hose by pressing the cord and/or hose into the trough.
The object sensor may also be attached to the cord and/or hose using a C-shaped clamp that is attached to the housing. The C-shaped clamp may be manufactured out of a resilient plastic or metal such that it flexes to fit over the cord and/or hose and then snaps back securely around the cord and/or hose. The other end of the clamp may be directly attached to the object sensor or connected to the object sensor using a chain or similar device. Similarly, the tradesman may use the object sensor while it is attached to the cord and/or hose or he may remove the object sensor with a gentle pull for use and reattach it to the cord and/or hose when finished using it.
One skilled in the art may devise alternate methods of attaching the object sensor to the cord and/or hose. While embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it is not intended that these embodiments illustrate and describe all possible forms of the invention. Rather, the words used in the specification are words of description rather than limitation, and it is understood that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
