Abstract: A glove-like device, which may be fabricated in the form a glove, mitten or mitt, for actively exercising the muscles of the fingers, hand, wrist and forearm. A glove fabricated from a flexible non-extensible material having a plurality of elongated tube shaped inflatable elastomeric bladders contained within pockets of like material attached to the upper outer surface of the glove from the tips of the fingers and thumb extending behind the knuckles. The bladders are attached to and pressurized through a manifold attached to the top surface of the glove behind the knuckles. The manifold is pressurized through a valve containing inlet/outlet tube the amount of pressure being indicated by a pressure gauge connected to the rear of the manifold. Additionally a bladder is contained within a pocket located on the palm of the glove which inflates into a flexible ball-like structure.

Abstract: A weaving tool for use in the hairstyling arts allowing rapid and accurate gathering of uniformly spaced strands of hair for weaving, coloring, perming or cutting. The tool comprises a comb with teeth having a single hook located in the forward inside edge of each tooth. When the teeth are drawn through the hair the hooks engage multiple uniformly spaced strands of hair in a single movement. This saves time by eliminating the extra operation required by the present state of the art of multiply passing a pointed instrument in a zig-zag fashion through sections of hair grasped between the fingers. In addition, the present state of the art does not produce uniformly spaced strands of hair.

Abstract: A jack device employed to extract agitators from the drive shafts of washing machines. The device includes an annular split ring member having two closed ends and enclosed chamber therein. The enclosed bladder device expands into a split toroidal configuration. A tube attached at the periphery and extending from under the agitator to the outside tub is employed to transfer hydraulic or pneumatic pressure into the said device resulting in expansion of the same. The wall of the bladder is thicker in a zone around the periphery than elsewhere. This thicker zone prevents the device from ballooning out from under the agitator which would result in failure of successfully removing the agitator from the shaft.
