The spray trigger is positioned forwardly from the side handle for being finger operable with one or more fingers of a user inserted into the finger aperture for simultaneously holding the side-handle mist sprayer in a use orientation and squeezing the spray trigger to mist-pump liquid from the mist-liquid container through a mist nozzle (9) on a top-front side of the front container extension. A soft-blade fan (10) extended from a fan-power pack (11) is positioned on a front side of the front container extension. The mist nozzle is positioned to direct mist onto back sides of soft blades of the soft-blade fan for being fanned by rotation of the soft-blade fan.

Abstract: A dolly (10) for transporting a hydraulic vehicle jack (50) has a pair of elongate front arm members (12a, b) pivotally attached to cooperating ends of a pair of elongate rear arm members (34a, b) by a rod (30). The front arm members are mounted on wheels (22a, b) disposed pivotally to collars (13a, b) on the front arm member. An axle (42a, b) with a wheel (44a, b) is rotatingly disposed each rear arm member rods (40a, b) are attached to an inside surface of the front arm members and rear arm members. The dolly is used to move vehicle jacks that have been modified to have an aperture (62) and mounting rods (64, 66, 68) attached to outside walls thereof. The modified jack is then aligned between the arm members of the dolly so that the rods on the front arm members of the dolly are inserted into the aperture on the jack. Then, springs (28, 70, 72) are secured between the rods on the dolly to the rods on the jack.

When the plate on the interlocking link is inserted into the aperture of the clasp body and the swivel cover is rotated over the plate, the clasp provides a secure, aesthetic, all-pleasing and easy to use clasp for jewelry and other uses.

Abstract: A piston-pin lock-ring-insertion tool has a ring-insertion tube (1) in ring-insertion relationship to a ring pusher (2). The ring-insertion tube has an inside periphery with a press-close taper (8) that is tapered inwardly from a ring-feeder end (6) to a ring-guide bore (9) that is cylindrical uniformly intermediate the press-close taper and a ring-insertion end of the ring-insertion tube. The ring-insertion end (7) of the ring-insertion tube has a perpendicularity surface (10) that is adapted for alignment of the ring-guide bore and a piston-pin bore (4) in a crankshaft-engine piston (5). The ring pusher has a pusher taper (26) with a pusher head (12) adapted for being buttressed against a side of lock ring (3) for pushing the lock ring from a major diameter to a minor diameter of the press-close taper proximate a circumferential entrance to the ring-guide bore. The ring pusher has a slide rod (13) that is oppositely disposed end-to-end from the pusher head.

Abstract: A motorized reel system for window covering has a reel-system case (1) with a length for being extended between opposite sides of a window frame (2). The reel-system case encloses a reel motor (3) in a first end and a shaft housing (7) in a second end. The reel motor is attached to a motor mount (4) having a reel slide (6) in which a first end of a reel (8) that is shaft-like slides linearly in one direction while the reel is also winding lift line (11, 12). The reel slides linearly in an opposite direction while unwinding the lift line. Linear sliding of the reel while also winding and unwinding the lift line is caused by rotation of external threads (9) in matching-thread contact with internal threads (10) in a threaded housing. Linear travel of the reel while it is being rotated spreads windings of the lift line evenly along the reel.

The material can be configured end to end and secured by tape (11, 18) to form air ducts (9, 13) or other structures. An optional hook lock (15, 16) is provided to help secure ends when forming substantially circular air ducts (13).

Abstract: A wrist-angle brace has a predeterminedly resilient fingerless glove (1) with an angle brace (2). The angle brace is contour-angled as a stop-wall against which a user's wrist (8) is urged with resilience force of the fingerless glove for practicing feel of the contoured angle independently of the angle brace. The angle brace has a hand portion (9) that is extended from an arm portion (6) which is strapped onto the user's arm (7) with adjustment for arm and hand (3) size.

The paddle blades include one or more sets (2) of two paddle blades having channel-funneled orientation on paddle spokes (4) that are extended radially from the paddle rod. The channel-funneled orientation includes channel-funnel inlets (9) having inlet areas between leading-edges of sets of the paddle blades that are larger than inlet areas of channel-funnel outlets (11) between trailing-edges of the sets of the paddle blades in a direction of rotation of the paddle blades transmitted by rotation of the paddle rod. The compression paddle can be sized, shaped and structured for use with select sizes, shapes and structures of mix containers for select mixing applications.

Abstract: An ergonomic wax pen has an ergonomic case (1) with optionally finger-squeeze control of pressure to force out molten wax (7) from a wax chamber (6) through an extrusion nozzle at an extrusion end (3) to which predetermined application tips (21, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28) can be attached for predetermined wax applications. The ergonomic case includes a contoured taper from a major periphery (2) proximate the extrusion end to an oppositely disposed minor periphery (4) that is proximate a base end (5). A wax heater (10, 18, 19) is positioned externally from the wax chamber which is pressurized selectively with a pressurizer. The base end can include an orthogonal base plate (11) on which the ergonomic case can be positioned uprightly when not in use and with which the ergonomic case can be prevented from rolling when laid down.

Abstract: Fishing hook bait attachment device (1) has a ring section (2) a middle section (3) extending from the ring section (2) and a distal section (4) having at least one tail extending outwardly therefrom. The distal section (4) not only enhances the attractiveness of the device to fish, it also provides a safe way of holding the device to keep fingers and hands away from the sharp tips (11) of hooks. A hole (6) in the middle section (3) is provided to insert the shaft of a hook (10) to prevent the device from falling off the hook (10) during use to avoid pollution and enable the device to be used multiple times. The device is preferably made of a resilient elastomeric material to enable it to be used with a wide variety of sizes of bait (7) and hooks (10).

The micro controller is preferably a Z 8 micro controller having a memory into which an application-specific program in the microcontroller is loaded for programmably plural-cycle short-time on-and-off switching for savings run times intermediate temperature-band on-call extremes and temperature-band mediums of a temperature-band fluctuation selectively.

Abstract: A composition of linseed oil and teak oil is used in a process to remove scratches from painted and coated surfaces of items, such as an automobile. The composition may include additional ingredients, such as citrus concentrate, to help remove or reduce the oily odor of the composition. After cleaning and drying the surface where a scratch exists, the composition is rubbed over the scratch and then any excess is removed by rubbing it with a moist cloth and then allowing the surface to dry.

Abstract: An oil-pump-screen (1) cleaning method and apparatus with which an oil pan (3) of an internal-combustion engine (2) is drained by removal of a drain plug (7) from a drain aperture (15); the drain plug is reinserted in the drain aperture; a measured amount of a predetermined carbon-disintegrative liquid is put in the oil pan, preferably through a dipstick tube (10), to immerse the oil-pump pickup screen, but not the oil pump (41) without contacting engine bearings, gaskets, or other engine components that could be deteriorated or otherwise damaged by the carbon-disintegrative liquid. The cleaner liquid is left in the oil pan long enough, preferably about one hour, for it to disintegrate and dislodge all carbonic and other material from the oil-pump pickup screen while not running the engine or otherwise conveying the carbon-disintegrative liquid to other parts of the engine.
