Abstract: A transportation device for transferring material from a higher elevation at an outdoor location to a lower elevation at an indoor location, such as a basement, via a chute assembly, specifically an exterior chute loaded wood transportation and storage device. The chute may be of varying lengths depending on the distance to be traveled. The chute may remain in position or be removed when not in use with corresponding closure means to prevent precipitation, animals, or outdoor air from entering the house. A wood storage bin, with holes to facilitate air flow, may be placed near the foot of the chute in the indoor location to receive and store the wood.

Abstract: A compact handheld tool for installing corner pieces in ductwork is disclosed. The tool has V-shaped jaws that surround a duct corner. A corner piece to be installed on a flange of the duct is placed against a first of the jaws, and a second jaw closes against the a first jaw, pressing the corner piece against the flange. A third jaw engages with an edge of the flange and presses the edge over the corner piece. The tool can install a corner piece in a single operation independent of the orientation of the duct or tool.

Abstract: A chute assembly for connecting an elevated area to a lower area, such as within a cellar entry enclosure, for transporting items. The chute assembly may also include a bin enclosure for storage of the items in addition to transporting them.

Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention is apparatus for preventing high speed vehicle pursuits and vehicle theft. The apparatus includes spikes for deflating a vehicle tire known in the art, disposed on opposing blocks or chocks, further secured to adjustable supports. The spikes and opposing blocks are positioned so to compress against the lower front and lower back surfaces of a vehicle tire. A vertical user engageable member is secured to the support facilitating placement around a vehicle tire.

Abstract: A disposable wireless communication system is disclosed. This system features the capabilities of a wireless telephone with freedom from expensive service contracts. The user is obtains the unit with a predetermined usage period set in the system and upon expiration of the usage period, the user simply discards the system.

Abstract: A faucet lock for use with a lavatory sink faucet having at least one water valve control handle, the faucet lock comprising a base, a bracket, having first and second ends thereof, wherein the first end is adjustably attached to the base such that the second end is positionable adjacent to the control handle preventing the control handle from opening the water valve, thus locking the water valve in a closed position, wherein the faucet lock prevents small children, disabled persons and others from unauthorized use of the water valve. The present invention faucet lock is a safety device to protect children and others especially special needs persons with spasticity or other disabilities from accidentally being exposed to hot water.

Abstract: A workpiece positioning device for precisely positioning a workpiece relative to a power tool or other device. The device includes a stationary base, an elongated locator member carried by the base for limited slideable movement right and left thereof. The locator member having a set of spaced-apart circumferential slots therein. An elongated scale made fast to the base and disposed adjacent to the locator member has a set of axially aligned spaced-apart through-apertures therein for positioning of the scale relative to said locator member. A movable stop having a surface thereon for abutting against a workpiece is disposed adjacent to the locator member for limited slideable movement right and left thereof. The movable stop being incrementally positionable relative to the locator member. The locator member being incrementally positionable relative to the scale. Whereby a workpiece abutting the movable stop will be exactly located in the precise position selected therefor.

Abstract: A conduit bending guide, where in a preferred embodiment, the guide has a base a member with a first base section and a second base section with means for repositioning of the two base sections with respect to each other, a fastening member for securing of the guide to a conduit, a suspension mount housing an angle indicator, and a bend angle indicator. The angle indicator could have various degrees of freedom of rotation in space as it is supported by a suspension means of the suspension mount. The guide allows making of consecutive co-planar bends in a conduit by observation of the reading on the angle indicator. By observing the angle indicator, it is also possible to make consecutive out-of-plane bends with a desired angle of deviation from the plane established by any one bend in the conduit. The degree of a bend along the longitudinal axis of the conduit is measured by the bend angle indicator or by realignment of the angle indicator.

Abstract: An orientation sensitive light for mounting on motorcycles and the like, having a light emitter, an orientation sensitive switch, and a power source, all connected in an electric circuit. The light is mounted on the underside of the motorcycle or on a side of the motorcycle, with the light emitter pointing downwards during normal operational orientation of the motorcycle. An orientation sensitive switch has a cavity with a quantity of an electrically conductive liquid such as mercury. The switch activates the light emitter when the motorcycle changes its orientation, as when a front or a rear wheel is raised above the ground.

Abstract: Provided is a rotary surface treatment tool for removal of paint and other surface substances from such solid materials as wood. The device has a planar circular base which could be attached to a rotational driver via a center spindle. The front side of the base is has a plurality of planar protrusions such as thin flat wires. The protrusions run along the surface of the front side of the base protruding by a few millimeters and lying at an angle to the plane of the base. During operation, the base revolves around a central rotary axis and the front side of the base is applied to the surface to be treated. The planar protrusions positioned on the front side cut into the surface of the object and tear away surface material.

Abstract: A glaucoma drainage device implant foldable and rollable upon itself for the drainage of aqueous humor in the treatment of glaucoma comprising an episcleral plate having both an upper surface and a lower surface and a drainage tube having one end terminating above the upper surface of the episcleral plate whereby the glaucoma drainage device may be delivered to the implant site through the lumen of a needle or cannula. The glaucoma drainage device implant may further comprise retainers for maintaining the implant in the proper operable position; a terminal collar for retention purposes; and a peripheral rim, inflatable in some embodiments, for improved filtration.

Abstract: A dog pack harness providing a dog with the ability to carry various items that might become necessary or desirable to have while walking a dog. The dog pack harness is comprised of a base member positioned on the back and the sides of the dog, a plurality of pocket and holding elements for storing of various items, a ventral strap assembly means securing the base member to the dog, a dorsal strap assembly device for securing the base member to the collar, and a collar element having a slidable collar attachment wherein the color attachment is used for securing of the collar element to the dorsal strap assembly device.
