Abstract: There is disclosed a plow constructed for displacement, by a traction vehicle, a predetermined direction. It comprises a cultivator having a generally U-shaped frame with a pair of lateral arms parallel to the above direction and interconnected by a bight. The cultivator further has a soil-chiselling assembly mounted on and transversely between the arms, this assembly including a horizontal rotary shaft provided with longitudinally spaced sets of coplanar flat radial shares. The cultivator is mounted on retractable wheels movable between the first position, wherein the wheels engage the soil for displacement of said cultivator with the soil-chiselling assembly stands inoperative above the soil, and a second position, wherein the wheels are retracted and stand above the soil and the soil-chiselling assembly operatively engages the soil.

Abstract: The dryer comprises a plurality of extendible air conducting tubes each of which is independently pivotally connected to the hot air supply, in order to dry footwear while the footwear is resting on the floor and being partly supported by the tube, and the tubes may be directed upwardly to support handwear. The tubes are provided with air flow controlling nozzles which adjust the flow of air by rotating a cap member. The cap member has air outlet slits on diametrically opposed sides with more slits blowing air towards a toe of the footwear than towards a heel. Turning the cap to block the air flow is done when any given tube is not required for footwear or handwear drying.

Abstract: A spool assembly for pintle or other kind of cables, which is simple and efficient in use and is advantageously made of a very small number of standardized elements that can be assembled in a plurality of ways to meet any specific requirements, such as, for example, the need for a handle, the need for having a pair of spools immediately available to the user, or the need for a stopper to rigidly hold the external end of the pintle. The assembly has one or two cylindrical spool in which pintles may be wound. It also has one or two cylindrical spool receiving members having a cylindrical peripheral wall, a flange preferably in the form of a ring projecting radially inwardly from one of the edges of the peripheral wall to hold the spool, a plurality of hooks integral to and projecting from the other edge of the peripheral wall at given intervals, and an opening provided in the peripheral wall to allow the cable wound in the groove of the spool to be pulled out.
