Abstract: A hand tool wrench set includes a plurality of wrenches rotatably mounted to one or more pivot pins. The tool includes an elongated body having a channel defining by a channel bottom and side walls. The wrenches comprise a shank portion and a working tip portion, such as a crescent or boxed end wrench tip. The pivot pin is slidably mounted through a longitudinal locking slot in the wrench shank. The longitudinal locking slot defines a proximate portion and a distal portion. The shank may freely rotate about the pivot pin when the pivot pin is positioned in the proximate portion of said slot, however, the shank is biased against the channel bottom when the pivot pin is positioned in the distal portion of the locking slot. This allows a user to fixedly secure the wrench to the hand tool and use the wrench in either a clockwise or counter clockwise manner without reversing the direction of the wrench.
Abstract: A chewing gum composition for whitening teeth comprising a water insoluble gum base in admixture with a plasticizer, a flavorant, sweetener, filler, texturizer, color, stabilizer, surface active agent and the like, some of the foregoing being optional, and a safe and effective whitening amount of a water soluble alkali metal percarbonate, a safe and effective amount of neem oil, sodium bicarbonate and parsley extract.
Abstract: A multi-purpose landscaping device for use with as hand-held rotary power tool such as an electric drill includes a shaft adaptable at one end for removable and operative connection to such a power tool, and a rotatable implement removably attached to the other end of the shaft, so that replacement of the rotatable implement is possible without replacement of the shaft. The rotatable implement is selected from the group consisting of a greenery cutter, a blower, a pruner, a soil augur and a weed extractor.
Abstract: This invention relates to an improved ball striking device, such as a golf club, hockey stick, or tennis racket, in which a greater striking power is imparted to the ball, puck or the like by inserting a connecting elastomeric member between the head or striking portion and the shaft portion of the device. The inherent resilient characteristics of the member allows an enhancement of the forward motion imparted to the ball.
Abstract: A universal socket wrench is provided comprising a housing having an internal chamber which is open at a first end thereof. A bundle of members having relatively large cross-sectional area-to-length ratios is supported in a slidable relationship within the chamber. The first ends of the slidable members are arranged for engagement with a fastener component. The slidable members have a chevron shape and a generally nonuniform cross-sectional area, and are arranged in sets, the outer and inner perimeter of each set having a fragmentary, asymmetrical shape. The slidable members are supported within the housing by outwardly extending flanges on the second ends of the members, which conform to and engage with inset shoulders on the chamber and on the second ends of the members.
