  • Patent number: 11018482
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of coating-peeling and a coating-peeling apparatus. The method of coating-peeling includes a gripping step and a peeling step, and peels by a pair of peeling blades peeling target portions of an insulating coating covering peeling target side surfaces of a rectangular conductor wire. In the gripping step, abutting sections of a pair of gripping members abut on gripping target portions of the insulating coating, whereby the rectangular conductor wire is gripped between the abutting sections. In the peeling step, in a state where the rectangular conductor wire has been gripped by the gripping members, the peeling blades are moved relatively following a surface direction of the peeling target side surfaces while opposing each other sandwiching the peeling target side surfaces, whereby the peeling target portions are peeled.

  • Patent number: 10946537
    Abstract: The inventive concept presented is a single, adjustably positionable Clipper Guard attachment for use with clippers. The primary objective of the inventive concept is to provide barbers and hair stylists with a more convenient, better performing appliance. The single clipper guard may conveniently be adjusted and readjusted to enable the selection of different degrees of closeness of hair trimming or cutting. The Clipper Guard is comprised of two components: a Sliding Body and a Retainer. The Sliding Body accepts the outer plane of the Retainer by means of a T-shaped key and shaft on the outer plane of the Retainer, fitting internally into a slot within the Sliding Body. A mechanically-positionable pin mechanism, stored interiorly to the Retainer, is maneuvered so as to lock the two components into different functional relationships, providing differing lengths or heights to which hair or other substance may be cut or trimmed.

  • Patent number: 10927031
    Abstract: A cutter edge is pressed against a brittle-material substrate so that a protruding portion of the cutter edge is positioned between a first edge of the brittle-material substrate and a side portion of the cutter edge and that a side portion of the cutter edge is positioned between the protruding portion of the cutter edge and a second edge of the brittle-material substrate. A scribe line is formed by a scratch between a first position closer to the first edge of the first and second edges and a second position closer to the second edge of the first and second edges. After the formation of the scribe line, a crack is extended in a thickness direction from the second position toward the first position along the scribe line, thus forming a crack line.

  • Patent number: 10894175
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a glass shearing apparatus. One application of the glass shearing apparatus is in vehicles. The apparatus comprises a handle provided at the vehicle door. The handle is coupled with at least one shearing means. The shearing means comprises a housing in which a window pane is supported. The shearing means further comprises a shear bolt that is coupled with the handle via a cable. In case of an emergency, the occupant of the vehicle actuates the handle thereby causing the cable to be tensioned, and the tensioned cable provides a drive to the shearing bolt, wherein the threadable engagement between an opening of the housing and the shearing bolt causes the translation of the shearing bolt within the opening. The translation of the shearing bolt within the opening is such that it eventually contacts the window pane and subsequently shears the window pane.

  • Patent number: 10850897
    Abstract: A container tin includes a container base with one or more storage compartments for ingestible products, and a reclosable lid with child-resistant (CR) features. The container incorporates mechanisms for creating and storing microdoses of edibles or medicaments. The CR reclosable container contains closure mechanisms, such as a latching pin and catch assembly, that present difficulties to a child attempting to open the container but that a properly trained adult can operate without undue problems to open the container. The container includes a cutter at the lid and a cutting support assembly at the base. A user places a product on the cutting support assembly, then closes the container lid to cut the product in two. This procedure can be used with cannabis products or similar psychoactive products to create microdoses below a threshold quantity that creates a perceptible psychoactive effect in the user.
