Abstract: A mounting system for mounting an alignment instrument onto a vehicular wheel which is to be used to align the wheel of the vehicle. The mounting system includes a mounting plate which has an engagement structure located directly adjacent the peripheral edge of the mounting plate. At least a pair of the lug nuts, and preferably three in number of the lug nuts, of the vehicular wheel are to be removed and replaced with elongated internally threaded sleeves, all the same length, which are substantially longer in length than the lug nuts so that the mounting plate will be mounted in a spaced relationship from the vehicular wheel. The mounting plate includes at least five in number of elongated holes generally radially disposed in a spaced apart arrangement relative to the center of the mounting plate. A fastener assembly is used to fixedly mount the mounting plate onto the elongated internally threaded sleeves.

Abstract: A nose protection shield designed to be custom fitted to the exterior shape of a nose which is constructed of a hydrophilic thermoplastic having a thickness of between one-half millimeter to one millimeter. The nose protection shield is constructed by making a cast of the person's nose by applying a first hardenable material onto the nose, causing this first hardenable material to harden, removing the cast after such is hardened, filling of the cavity of the cast with a second hardenable material, permitting the second hardenable material to harden to form a model, removing the model from the cast, placing a thin, flexible plastic sheet on the model, drawing a vacuum in proximity of the model which causes the sheet to be drawn tightly against the model, apply heat for a short period of time to the sheet to a sufficient level to cause the at-rest shape of the sheet to be deformed and assume the new configuration of the model, and then removing of the sheet from the model.

Abstract: A collapsible utility cart that is composed of a pair of a plurality of interconnected frames that when in the usage state assumes a box-like configuration mounted on a plurality of wheels. There is a handle assembly that is mounted to the frames with this handle assembly being movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The frames that make up the utility cart body are to be collapsed in juxtaposition when in a collapsed position and said handle assembly is to be positioned against the frames when in the retracted position.

Abstract: A tool vending machine which permits human access to only a single size compartment of a plurality of different sized compartments at a time so that the user is only able to extract a tool that is contained within that single compartment and does not permit access to any other compartment. The particular compartment is to be manually selected by the human user.

Abstract: A money clip that is constructed to resemble a fishing reel with the money clip including a rotatable plate on which is mounted a handle. Manual rotation of the handle and the plate produces a movement that resembles the fishing line winding movement of a conventional fishing reel.

Abstract: A cut and grab shearing head for pruning shears or loppers which includes a laterally extending protuberance mounted on one of the jaws of the shears with this laterally extending protuberance having a bottom surface which can be located directly adjacent a resting ledge on the other of the jaws of the shears. Usage of the shears will permit a severed piece of vegetation to be grabbed between the bottom surface and the resting ledge when the jaws are moved from an open position to a closed position. The length of the protuberance is selected so as to leave a pair of spaced apart typical cutting sections which can be utilized in the conventional manner to cut vegetation and not clamp the vegetation.

Abstract: A mouth block formed of either cotton, plastic or rubber which is to be placed between the teeth of a mandible and the teeth of a maxilla of a jaw to prevent chewing action. The mouth block has a tapered configuration with the widest part of the taper to be located near the front teeth and the narrowest part of the taper to be located directly adjacent the back teeth. The mouth block my include an attachment that facilitates the connection to a lanyard or a rod for the purpose of removing of the block when such is desired.

Abstract: A corner mounted indirect lighting fixture which is to be mounted flush against the vertical walls of a corner of a house or building. The lighting fixture has a fixture housing which has a hook mounted on its exterior surface which is to engage with an engaging edge of a mounting bracket that is mounted at the corner formed by the vertical walls. The lighting fixture has an open top and a light diffusing plate at a bottom edge. A lamp is mounted to the fixture housing and extends within an internal chamber defined by the fixture housing. A translucent shade is attached to the fixture housing and defines the front wall surface of the internal chamber with a soft glowing light to be emitted outwardly therethrough.

Abstract: A skateboard rail which is composed of a plurality of members which are to be connected together in an end-to-end relationship. The members are capable of being pivoted relative to each other. The members are capable of being stacked vertically and also are connectable together side-by-side to form an expanded horizontal rail.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a nerve measurement apparatus, and to a method for measuring a nerve diameter. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises an elongated shaft having a first end and an opposing second end, the first end and the second end being suitably configured to determine a diameter of a nerve. The first end may be further comprised of a pair of opposed prongs aligned with a longitudinal axis of the shaft and spaced apart by a predetermined distance to receive the nerve therebetween. The second end may be further comprised of a flexible self-coiling member having an inner diameter that conforms to the nerve diameter when the member is in a relaxed state.

Abstract: A cutting template for use for cutting of a plurality of substantially equal size meat pieces. The cutting template is to be hand operated by being placed by the user in conjunction with a meat section and then the user takes the knife and severs the meat section that is defined in size by the template.

Abstract: A running board storage box that is designed to be mounted in conjunction with a land vehicle where the running board storage box can be used as a step to facilitate entry and exit through an access door of the vehicle. A door assembly is pivotally mounted on the front edge of the storage box. The back of the storage box includes a gusset accommodation structure in the form of an attachment which is removably mounted within a slot formed within the back.

Abstract: A stabilizer structure to be attached to the supporting legs of a wheelbarrow. The stabilizing structure comprises a pair of stabilizers each of which includes a horizontal section and a vertical section. Each leg of the wheelbarrow is fixedly secured to a horizontal section of a said stabilizer with the leg abutting against the vertical section of the stabilizer.

Abstract: An automatic rewinding two-speed fishing reel that utilizes a transmission which includes a post assembly mounted on a driver that is rotatable on a shaft that connects to a recess arrangement formed in a low gear that is also rotatable on the shaft. The post assembly is engaged with the recess arrangement when in the low speed mode and is displaced from the recess arrangement when in the high speed mode. Connecting wall surfaces between the post assembly and the recess arrangement form an angle other than ninety degrees and preferably between ten and sixty degrees relative to the longitudinal center axis of the shaft.
