Abstract: A method and tool for applying a self-carried urine receptacle snugly on the penis of a human which comprises an elastic ring expanded to slide over the shaft of the penis without contacting it, relaxing the ring and causing it to return to its normal position, and sliding the funnel shaped end of a resilient catheter over the penis and ring with the catheter gripping the outside of the ring in a leadproof manner.

Abstract: A pneumatic apparatus for applying a self-carried urine receptacle snugly on the penis of a human with little danger of involuntary leakage and employing an annular expandable ring for applying to the penis for affixing the receptacle thereto.

Abstract: A spring attachment clip for the fastening of springs to furniture frames, the clip carrying its own means for being secured to the frame and having in addition means for reducing or eliminating audible noise as ordinarily caused by the action of the spring working against the clip. The clip configuration is adapted to permit its multiple formation in long strips intended to be fed into an automatic device which separates the individual clips from the strips and secures them to the frame. Additionally, the U-shaped edges of the spring engaging end of the clips are bevelled outward to strengthen the clip rendering it unnecessary to close the clip to prevent its opening under spring tension.

Abstract: An automatic means for the attachment of spring clips to wooden frame members of furniture which clips serve in the attachment of springs to the frame. The clips are preformed in long coiled strips and are fed therefrom into a pneumatic driving tool which separates individual clips from the strip and drives their pointed ends into the frame members at controlled spaced intervals as the frame member is fed past the driving tool.
