Abstract: A device for coupling writing utensils includes a first engagement member comprising an exterior wall and an interior wall defining a channel capable of receiving a first writing utensil; and a second engagement member including an exterior wall and an interior wall defining a channel capable of receiving a second writing utensil; wherein a portion of the first engagement member is tangentially connected to the second engagement member. The axis of the first engagement member is offset at a selected angle from the axis of the second engagement member, so as to form a generally X-shaped configuration.

Abstract: A magnifying device for viewing toes and toenails includes a longitudinally extending main body portion securable to the lower leg with straps. The body portion curves at its distal end to extend over the ankle and a portion of the top of the foot. A head portion which houses a magnifying lens is attached to the distal end of the body portion via an attachment mechanism and extends over the top portion of the foot. The attachment mechanism allows head portion to be translationally extended and retracted from the distal end of the body portion in a plane substantially parallel to the distal end of the body portion and in a direction substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the foot extending from the heel to the toe. The magnifying lens is shaped to allow all of the toes of one foot to be viewed through the lens simultaneously. Alternatively, the body portion of the magnifying device rests on the bottom of the foot and is attached to the foot via straps.
