Abstract: A two sided work glove assembled by the stitched union of several patterned pieces including a thumb enclosure piece or pieces, a middle fingers piece and a palm portion. The glove may include a cuff. The glove is easily adapted for different specific uses by the addition of an external or internal pad or an internal liner. The glove stitching is protected by protective overhanging strips incorporated between the palm portion and the finger and thumb enclosures.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to a set of parallelepipedal bodies (cells) capable of matingly compatible engagement for interconnection, so as to allow up to three degrees of freedom in the sliding movement of an individual cell or grouping of cells about a grouping of other interconnected cells from the set. Each cell may be monolithic or constructed from six face plates. For cubic and rhombohedral forms, the face plates are designed to interlock in construction with any other face plate to form a cell, regardless of the orientation of the face plates. A first set of cells utilizes a uniform face plate, each cell differing only in the orientation of this uniform face plate about the other uniform face plates on the cell. A second set of cells utilizes two different but matingly compatible face plates. Again, each cell differs only in the orientation of either of the matingly compatible face plates about the other face plates on the cell.

Abstract: An interlocking personal beverage container mixing system that utilizes at least two containers that interconnect such that their fluid contents may be mixed prior to dispensing. The containers, when threadingly engaged irreversibly connect and lock in a leakproof and spill proof fashion. Sanitary seals and safety seals ensure each container in the personal beverage mixing system remains free of foreign contaminants and alerts the purchaser to any tampering.

Abstract: A drum drilling apparatus that is capable of powered operation with standard issue emergency crew SCBA equipment. The drum drill resides moveably on a platform that is adaptable to be positioned about any sized container regardless of any irregularities in the ground surface. It provides several safety related features such as the capability for remote operation, static electric grounding, and explosion shielding. It has sampling/purge capabilities and adapts for use with LPG cylinders. It is lightweight and capable of operation by one person. It provides the least intrusive method of drum depressurizing.

Abstract: A chuck that can be operated with or without a key, depending upon the amount of torque desired. The jaws are controlled by rotation of a screw ring about the axis of the chuck body that slides the jaws along jaw passages by engagement with teeth on the jaw surfaces. The screw ring is housed in a tightening knob that has a planar ring gear perpendicular to the chuck body axis. A tail section is rigidly attached to the chuck body below the tightening knob and houses a pinion gear that matingly engages the planar ring gear and rotates in concert with the tightening knob. Insertion of a hex key into a recess in the pinion gear allows the application of additional torque. Alternate embodiments incorporate a idler gear to reverse pinion gear rotation; locate the pinion gear in the tightening knob with the planar ring gear in the tail section; and utilize a planar ring gear on both the tail section and the tightening knob with a floating ring to house the pinion gear between the planar ring gears.
