Abstract: A dual purpose light that may be configured as both a floor-type worklight and as an elevated stand light. The present invention provides a light stand which has a threaded post on its terminal end that is adapted to receive a light housing having a pair of pivotal support legs. When the leg are in an open position, they support the light housing on a support surface in a non-elevated position. When in a closed position, the legs are co-extensively arranged with a common aperture that accepts the thread post on the stand for affixing the light housing to the stand for use in an elevated position.

Abstract: The piston portion of a coupling for a mechanical phonograph is split lengthwise and joined together at a closed end by a living hinge so that the compression spring which biases the piston against the tonearm will exert a spreading force to the piston conforming it to the inside diameter of the cylinder or collar on the speaker cone, thereby achieving the close clearance required to transmit recorded sound vibrations to the speaker cone.
