  • Publication number: 20100175195
    Abstract: The bedsheet-tucking tool kit consists of at least one bed-mattress lifter and at least one bedsheet tucker. The lifter has a handle and an insertable portion, the distal end of which tapers in the direction away from the handle. A stopper provided between the handle and the tapered portion limits insertion of the lifter to a position in which the bedsheet can fall behind the inserted portion. At its bottom, the lifter has a flared wing-like portion that maintains stability of the lifter in the inserted position. In order to increase friction between the bottom of the lifter and the boxspring mattress, a small portion of the bottom surface of the lifter is coated with a thin rubber-like coating. This protects the lifter from popping out from the inserted position. The handle may be coated with a rubber film. The tucking tool is made in the form of a spade with a rounded knob-like handle and a flat tucker blade.

  • Publication number: 20090113946
    Abstract: An anti-theft bicycle locking device that consists of a cylindrical housing rotatingly supporting a drum and having a semi-rigid cable which is retracted within a housing by a drum as S-shaped turns formed by a cranking mechanism of the drum consisting of two cylindrical hubs with an opening between them through which the cable is threaded when it is passed through the anti-theft locking device. When the drum is rotated by means of handle portions of the drum exposed through the housing, one exposed end of the cable is retracted onto one side of the drum and the other to the opposite side of the drum. The space between the inner surface of the housing and the outer surface of the drum and the direction of the outlet openings of the housing provide placement of the turns side by side on the drum surface.
