  • Patent number: 10464183
    Abstract: The water jet reaming tool can avoid the need to replace a toilet (17). The curved handle (19) allows the user to stay at arm's length away from the difficult removal of mineral deposits (13) which prevent sufficient clean water (14) to flush the toilet. A reamer element (12) stands ready at the other end of the handle (19) to enter a clean water jet (15) under the toilet inner rim (16). The user views (11) the water jet (15) and the point 26 via lines of sight (18) from the reflection in the metal mirror (30) attached to the reamer element (12). The user's wrist motions cause the handle (19) to rotate the reamer element (12) and grind the mineral deposits (13) to dust.

  • Publication number: 20170356641
    Abstract: A monolithic base having a plurality of holes with bottoms provide a place for burning birthday candles independent of a real cake as an independent birthday candle holder. All the burning candles are in a plane. Simulating a birthday cake avoids some of the problems associated with placing the candles on a real cake. Accommodation for as many as one hundred candles may be provided. Three exemplary embodiments employ solids such as wood, ceramics, clay, plaster or plastics.
