Abstract: An extendable carpenter's level which comprises a pair of extending body members capable of adapting and mounting upon the standard “I” level frame configuration of a carpenter's level by sliding said extendable body members onto the frame of the standard level. Each extending body member consists of a top and bottom slide extension rigidly attached to one another so as to be firmly in contact with the level frame. The top and bottom slide he extensions each incorporate a lock pin to insure rigidity as against the level frame and stop clips to eliminate outward extension of the extending body members beyond the end of the level frame. In another embodiment, each extending body member is split such that both the top and bottom slide extensions comprise generally a right and left side extension held together by means of slide springs and flush mounted screws.

Abstract: The instant device provides a method for enhancing the sound of any acoustic/electric guitar and other musical instrument by electronically oscillating and manipulating the sound emitted by the guitar or other instrument. The prior art utilizes a manually activated processor that when used, in conjunction with a guitar and sound amplifying device, is capable of creating a broad range of sounds. The processor has customarily been located upon the floor and is activated by a foot pedal. This presented method replaces the prior art pedal processors and the need to be physically in proximity to the processor to activate the pedal and the processor. It accomplishes this by providing electronic means integral with a guitar strap whereby upward and downward movements of the guitar neck or guitar body activate the electronic means creating variable electronic signals to an amplifier or other amplifying device enabling a wide range of distorted sounds to be emitted from the guitar.

Abstract: A method to increase and enhance tire mold height capability of various mechanical tire presses. The method accomplishes mold hold enhancement without imparting appreciable jarring and vibration during press operation. For presses with crank pins pressed into crank gears, the method utilizes removal of the existing crank pin and replacement with an eccentric pin thereby effectively reducing the distance of crank throw by a certain predetermined amount. Side link length is enhanced by a corresponding amount with the result being the repositioning of the press beam by an amount equal to a total of the foregoing. Thereafter, a tire mold of that enhanced height may be accommodated between the beam and base members of the press.

Abstract: A belt sander is constructed of a housing with a base, cylindrical drums disposed parallel to each other at opposite ends of the base and a foot pad positioned between the cylindrical drums whereby the area of the sanding surface of a sanding belt bearing against the foot pad during rotation of the sanding belt defines a sanding footprint. The improvement comprises a structural element secured to the foot pad for extending the sanding foot print beyond the housing.

Abstract: License plate lenses to be affixed over the license plate area of automobiles and/or vehicles and carrying a communicative or decorative symbol to the car enthusiasts liking. The lenses are constructed from a plurality of plastics with a logo and/or design vacuum formed into the various plastic materials.

Abstract: A lightweight strap with a handle at one end of the strap for grasping and a heavy duty hook snap and "D" ring configuration at the other end. The snap hook to be inserted through a handle or other aperture in a tractor trailer door and snapped to the "D" ring. The length of the strap being sufficient so as to permit an individual to grasp the strap through the handle portion when the tractor trailer door is open and pull upon the strap thereby pulling the door down in a safe and conscientious manner.
