  • Patent number: 11970867
    Abstract: A spackling tool for spreading and smoothing spackling includes a main planar flat blade made of a thin resilient material. The blade is substantially rectangular in shape with left and right side edges and front and rear edges. In one embodiment, a left blade is formed by bending the material forming the main blade upwardly at an angle of substantially 90° and a right blade is formed in substantially the same way at the right side edge of the main blade. A handle is secured to the rear edge of the main blade at the midpoint thereof and extends away from the main blade in substantially the same plane as the main blade. In a second embodiment, the left and right blades are hinged to the main blade so that the angle between them and the main blade can be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 9238908
    Abstract: A curb vent stack plunger for clearing sewer drains includes an elongated pole. A first substantially circularly shaped rubberized disc is located adjacent the bottom end of the pole and lies in a first plane perpendicular to the axis of the pole. A second substantially circularly shaped rubberized disc is secured to the pole at a distance spaced upwardly from the bottom end. The second disc lies in a second plane perpendicular to the pole axis but parallel to the first disc. A soft rubberlike semi-spherically shaped bumper is secured to the remote bottom end of the pole.
