Abstract: A collapsible saw has a mechanism for releasably tensioning and locking a saw blade into position while also conferring lateral support for the blade, namely a cam lock mechanism. Additionally, a long channel member, a short member, and a saw blade are each pivotably connected in the saw assembly. The long and short member pivot connection is releasable in a manner that allows the long and short member to nest one within the other along with the saw blade. A collapsible saw according to the present invention is highly compact and entirely interconnected such that loss of saw parts is not a concern. Another feature of the saw is that its interconnections and design yield a configuration that can be quickly expanded into an operative configuration or place in a collapsed configuration.

Abstract: A rotating mixer for mixing drinks utilizes a tumbler-type container attached to a base and a rotatable whisk. The whisk is turned by rotatable gears, one of which is attached to a motor and one of which is attached to the base of the container. The motor is housed in a motor housing unit and is powered by batteries, or, alternatively, by an AC adapter. The motor housing unit includes a collar that is inserted into a sleeve in the bottom of the container base to provide a stable guide for aligning the motor gear and whisk gear. The detachable base also provides a stable platform for the container when it is not engaged with the motor housing unit. The detachable base may be a lightweight, yet sturdy, two-piece unit comprising a sleeve section and a coupling section. The motor housing unit fits into a tray which is adapted for use as a serving tray and which also functions as a battery recharger when plugged into an electrical outlet. The tray comprises holders for holding one or more containers.

Abstract: A rotating mixer for mixing drinks utilizes a tumbler-type container attached to a base and a rotatable whisk. The whisk is turned by rotatable gears, one of which is attached to a motor and one of which is attached to the base of the container. When the whisk rotates, its speed and shape create a tornado or whirlpool-like effect in the contents of the container. The motor is housed in a motor housing unit and is powered by rechargeable batteries, or, alternatively, by an AC adapter. The motor housing unit fits into a tray which is adapted for use as a serving tray and which also functions as a battery recharger when plugged into an electrical outlet. The tray comprises holders for holding one or more containers.
