  • Patent number: 9383072
    Abstract: A compact, portable lighting device which has a support component and a plurality of lighting components. The support component has a plurality of lighting component receivers. Each of the receivers has a back and a front, and a plurality of contacting positions to simultaneously contact and hold a lighting component. Each of the receivers has a focal point of the plurality of contact positions that is a straight central axis. The lighting components are separate components from the support component and separate components from one another. Each of the lighting components has an elongated section with a straight central axis and a front end with illumination elements. And, each of the lighting components is positioned within one or more of the receivers with its central axis being coincidental with the central axis of the one or more of the receivers.

  • Patent number: 9327395
    Abstract: A wrench that has an adjustable wrench head, a wrench handle, and an attachment means for attaching the wrench handle to the wrench head. The wrench head has an orifice configured to control the rotation of a work-piece such as a nut or bolt. The wrench handle has an attachment section and a gripping section. The attachment section is formed for attachment with the wrench head and has a hole with a central axis extending in a direction towards the wrench head. The gripping section is formed for gripping by a user and connects with the attachment section beside the central axis, whereby, when the wrench handle is viewed from an end view thereof, the gripping section is nonaligned with the central axis of the attachment section at the connection of the gripping section with the attachment section. The wrench handle is formed for at least partial rotation about the axis of the attachment section.

  • Patent number: 7311021
    Abstract: A wrench tool is described which comprises an orifice configured to control the rotation of a hexagonal work piece. The orifice is substantially cylindrical and comprises an array of only eighteen principle longitudinal grooves positioned therein substantially forming a symmetrical pattern around an imaginary central axis. The eighteen grooves are formed and spaced apart so as to create an array of only eighteen principle longitudinal protuberances. The protuberances substantially form a symmetrical pattern around the imaginary central axis for engagement with the hexagonal work piece. Each protuberance is formed having at least two engaging surfaces positioned together in at least partial alignment with a predetermined engaging angle. The engaging surfaces may be flat, arcuate, or a combination thereof.
