Abstract: A razor drying device for drying razors includes a housing having a top, a base, a back, a front, a left side and a right side defining an interior space within the housing. A wall and a divider are coupled to and positioned within the interior space of the housing, defining respectively a compartment and a chamber. A motor, power module and a processor are coupled to and positioned in the compartment. The motor has a shaft with a terminus extending through the wall. A fan is coupled to the terminus. The power module and the processor are operationally to each other and to the motor. The chamber has a screen for a bottom. The device has a tray, removable from the housing through a complimentary opening in the front. A plurality of inlets is positioned in the back of the housing and in the wall.

Abstract: This mechanical fruit picker is composed of a housing, (9, 11, 12, 16, 17), it has two jaws mounted on the top perimeter of the said housing (5, 6). They are mounted in such a manner that one passes through the other in the process of opening and closing. This is accomplished by them being hinged a small distance apart (8). A control rod (20) activated through a bracket (18) with a ring provided on the top end that encloses the sides of the jaws (10) is energized by a spring (15) to open and close the jaws. A cord (32) attached to the bottom of this rod takes the jaws down with a light pull. When released they snap shut. The ring then holds them shut until it is again pulled to gather another fruit. The fruit as it is engaged passes down through the housing into a flexible sleeve (25, 26) to the operator. A snap-on cap (22-24) of flexible material is also provided if only a few fruit are desired.
