Abstract: The present invention is a tire cutting machine comprising of a base, a body member, a drive assembly means and a cutting assembly means. The drive assembly means includes a drive power means simultaneously engaged to a pair of front drive wheels and to a pair of rear drive wheels to provide rotation thereof. The front drive wheels are coaxially mounted in close relation to one another on a front drive wheel shaft extending between a first drive assembly arm and a second drive assembly arm. The rear drive wheels are coaxially mounted in close relation to one another and to a guide wheel which is directly engaged to the drive power means. The cutting assembly means includes a cutting power means simultaneously engaged to a front cutting wheel and to a rear cutting wheel to provide rotation thereof.

Abstract: A grease collection system is disclosed for use with a generally portable cooking device of the type designed to isolate grease and other liquids released from food during the cooking. process, said cooking device having a cooking chamber with a grease discharge area through which said grease and other liquids may exit said cooking chamber in a generally continuous flow during the cooking process. A top member is provided with a slot therethrough. A plurality of support means engage said top member so as to provide sufficient clearance such that a grease collection tray may be slidably positioned thereunder. In practice, said cooking device is positioned on said top member such that said slot is vertically disposed below said grease discharge area and said grease collection tray is further vertically disposed below said slot.

Abstract: The present invention is a tool for removing and installing valve springs on an internal combustion engine, said tool having a body with a pair of prongs at one end and a handle means for supplying a downward force at the other end. At the extreme end of the pair of prongs is a rotatably mounted shaft which has a centrally located bore, the axis of which is perpendicular to the axis of the shaft. The bore is positioned about a rocker arm stud or bolt corresponding to the valve spring to be worked upon. Located at the top of the bore is a flat face which engages a nut placed on a rocker arm stud or the underside of the bolt head of the rocker arm bolt. The tool is then centrally positioned over the valve stem such that the prongs engage the valve spring keeper. As a downward force is applied to the body member, the prongs compress the valve spring and allow the removal or installation of the valve spring keeper lock.
