Abstract: A masking device for covering a masking area includes a first member having a first tab portion and a first base portion. The masking device also includes a second member having a second tab portion and a second base portion. A pull tab of the masking device includes the first tab portion coupled to the second tab portion. The masking device further includes a third member having a member connection surface and a masking connection surface. The member connection surface is opposite the masking connection surface. A base of the masking device includes the first base portion, the second base portion, and the third member. A first adhesive couples the member connection surface of the third member to the first base portion and to the second base portion. The masking connection surface of the third member is made to removably attach to the masking area.

Abstract: A masking device for covering a masking area. The masking device includes a first member, a second member, and a third member. The masking device further includes a base formed by the first member, the second member, and the third member. The base defines a top surface and a bottom surface. The masking device further includes a pull tab formed by the first member and the second member. The pull tab extends away from the top surface of the base. The bottom surface includes an adhesive. The bottom surface is configured for removable attachment to the masking area.

Abstract: A floor leveling device for leveling tiles includes a base having a plate and a stem. The plate has a planar upper surface configured to engage the tiles and an angled lower surface opposite the planar upper surface. The stem extends generally perpendicularly from the planar upper surface. The floor leveling device also includes a cap coupled to the stem for movement along the stem.

Abstract: A dual washer pull plug for masking a mechanical part. The dual washer pull plug includes a first centering component and a second centering component. A first masking flange is located at a first end of the first centering component and the first centering component is configured to center the first masking flange relative to an aperture of a mechanical part on a first side of the mechanical part. A second masking flange is located at a first end of the second centering component and the second centering component is configured to center the second masking flange relative to the aperture of the mechanical part on a second side of the mechanical part.

Abstract: Electrically-conductive plastic hangers for supporting a workpiece during an electrostatic coating, plating, treating or other processing operation are described herein. In embodiments, the hangers have a one-piece hanger body made of an electrically-conductive plastic material, a connector portion configured to hang the hanger from a rack or other support and a further connector portion configured to hang a workpiece directly from the hanger.

Abstract: An umbrella valve includes an elastic cap, and an elastic stem formed integrally with the cap, having a center hollow portion, having an enlarged hollow portion proximate the cap, and having a bottom. The valve has a needle having an enlarged head at a proximal end thereof for being snugly secured in the enlarged hollow portion of the stem, having a lower lateral hole in a distal portion, having an upper lateral hole proximate the bottom of the stem, and having a lengthwise center passageway connecting the upper and lower lateral holes. A method includes providing a needle for being snugly secured in one of a plurality of elastic caps, the needle having a lengthwise center passageway connecting upper and lower lateral holes. The method includes selecting a cap from among the plurality of elastic caps by determining opening pressure factors.
