Abstract: A paper towel removal accessory for use in removing only the desired number of paper towels at a time from a roll of paper towels. The roll of paper towels is rotatably mounted on a paper towel holder, the paper towel holder being mounted on a support surface. This accessory invention is designed to provide an efficient and reliable device to control and deliver exactly the number of paper towels desired by the user and to do it in single-handed operation. It works equally well with either vertical or horizontal installations, and it is equally efficient when applied with most commercial paper towel holders currently in use and available.
Abstract: Contained herein are the details of a new drum muffling system for muffling harmonics and overtones of any commercially available drum. The assembly also has the ability to suspend a microphone in proper placement as required by so many modern recording and amplification techniques. The assembly allows for zero interference in the proper seating of the skin on the shell of the drum. The assembly rests against the skin of the drum, and no holes need be drilled in the shell and no part of the system touches the skin of the drum except the actual muffler. The tension against the skin is fully adjustable to muffle overtones of as each application requires.
Abstract: An axle puller comprising a main body having circumferentially spaced bores, each bore corresponding to a lug bolt on the hub, a plurality of elongated pushrods adjustably located within the bores, and hook-arms pivotally mounted on the main body to engage the axle plate. The pushrods engage a corresponding lug bolt during application of the axle puller, and in conjunction with the pushrods apply an extraction force to the axle plate around each of the lug bolts, thus biasing the main body axially away from the axle plate. The hook-arms snap-fit onto the axle plate when the axle puller is mounted onto the wheel assembly. Stop bolts fix the hook-arms when engaged with the axle plate to keep the hook-arms from slipping off the axle plate. A spring-biased center-driver is provided to impact the axle plate after the extraction force has been applied.
