Abstract: An illuminated loupe including a housing having top and bottom covers, a magnifying glass frame pivotally connected between the top and bottom covers and arranged to swing through the covers, a magnifiying glass carried by the magnifying glass frame, a light bulb carried by the magnifying glass frame and arranged such that the light therefrom is directed into the frame, and beneath the magnifying glass carried by the frame.
Abstract: A method of repairing windshields that have been chipped or cracked comprising the steps of removing damaged glass from a break in the surface of the glass, fixing a pressure applier over the break, impact vibrating the windshield and heating the reverse side of the windshield to increase the size of the opening being filled and to drive air from the opening, injecting a resin into the damaged area while vibrating and heating and, if necessary, removing any additional air by developing a suction over the damaged area. The apparatus of the invention includes a frame that is suction held in place, and that mounts the injection plunger and a vibrator to vibrate the glass as a resin is injected into openings in the glass.
Abstract: A pressure drain cleaner including an integral nozzle, coupler and hose attachment fitting with the coupler being sized and shaped to connect to pipes of plumbing systems and to receive a suction attachment that will grip drains of the plumbing systems and that will be moved into a gripping relationship by flow therethrough.

Abstract: A safety spray wand with a selectively adjustable or interchangeable tip. The wand will selectively provide a high pressure or a low pressure discharge from a discharge tube. The wand has a handle with a pistol grip in combination with a large squeeze trigger. The pistol grip is extended and is molded around a receiving tube that projects downwardly from a discharge tube to thereby form a safety protection guard for an operator's hand while protecting the trigger from accidently being actuated. The receiving tube not only serves as a guard but also as a conduit to which a pressure source is attached and through which the fluid is directed to the discharge tube.
Abstract: A fluorescent lamp housing for fluorescent tubes comprising an elongate body with a curved central back and curved legs arranged to fit closely around a fluorescent tube. A wiring chamber is isolated from a lamp chamber by an insert strip; electrical sockets are positioned at opposite ends of the lamp chamber and are held in the housing by positioning clips and end plates. The end plates are attached by screws to the clips and are attached to tubular extensions of the wiring chamber. The tubular extensions have ends press-fitted into the wiring chamber and serve as wire guides and as journals that are clamped in mounting brackets. An insertion and removal aid is preferably provided to facilitate insertion and removal of the lamp with respect to the closely fitting housing.
