Abstract: A surface covering the palm, backside, index and other fingers of the hand including a wrist shroud; a repositionable flap attached transversely between the wrist and palm portions of the glove, said flap having a pocket, said pocket holding a plate made of a suitably hard material; a flap securing means allowing the flap to be secured against the wrist when not in use or against the palm of the hand for striking objects; a detachable, reversible ratchet driver disposed along the backside of the index finger in alignment with the long axis of the hand, said ratchet including a cylindrical body, a toggle button forward and reverse mechanism as used in ink pens, ratchet means and a coupler for receiving common tool bits for Philips, flat head, hex, star, Allen, socket and other fasteners of the like.

Abstract: A caulking gun includes a cartridge holder, a stock, a plunger, actuator plates, an actuator spring, an adjustable handle, a trigger, a nozzle cutter, a cartridge poker and a retractable arm clip. A handle, able to slide along a lower rail of a cartridge holder, is engaged and disengaged using a trigger. Said handle permits a user to adjust the balance point of the gun at will. To disengage the handle, a trigger is lifted, releasing a forked tab at the rear of the handle that engages the lower rail. Squeezing the trigger reengages the forked tab. The actuator plates are aligned such that a cartridge's internal pressure is relieved each time the trigger is released. A nozzle cutter provides a clean cut, and allows for nozzle tips to be easily discarded. A retractable arm clip is used as a secondary contact point with a user's arm.

Abstract: A system embedded in a road surface generates power from the passage of motor vehicles. It activates only when vehicles with axles overpass it in the prescribed direction. The power generating device includes a grill and actuating arms, actuating buttons, and a vehicle sensing device for ensuring the system does not activate when motorcycles pass over it. The actuating arms are connected to shafts and gears for transferring vehicular movement into rotational energy to a turbine placed at the side of the road. A speed brake, flywheel and transmission regulate the rotation speed of the generator motor for optimal production of electricity.

Abstract: A series of multi use funnels are designed to attach by threads or pressure fit to a variety of threaded or non threaded fill openings of bottles or containers. Two or more concentric female threaded or friction engaging connectors are located at the discharge opening of the funnel. The innermost connector is the smaller or smallest and each size is graduated outward therefrom. A secondary funnel is located inside of the innermost female threaded connector to direct fluid into the attached container below the junction of the top of the bottle of container and the first threads. A sealing annular ring or step is located at each connector portion. Single diameter versions are shown as well as slip-on versions for use with threaded, snap-on or straight sided bottle filling openings.
