Abstract: A lifting tool for roasted meat, having a main handle with a longitudinal handle axis, a first handle end and a second handle end. A pair of tines are spaced apart, each having a tine base end and a tine tip end and being formed with a substantially continuous curve which is concave when viewed from the second handle end. A pair of cross members connect the first handle end to the tine base ends. Preferably, an auxiliary handle is provided, having a gripping region and being affixed such that the curve of the tines is concave when viewed from the gripping region. The auxiliary handle preferably has an auxiliary handle base section which extends upwards from the cross members and an auxiliary handle set-back section which connects the auxiliary handle base section to the gripping region and which extends towards the second handle end. The lifting tool preferably has a stabilizing prong having a longitudinal prong axis which is parallel to the handle axis, and a prong tip which is pointed.

Abstract: This application relates to a guide device or tool to facilitate the replacement of the upper rear seal in an internal combustion engine. The seal is mounted on a semicircular rigid seal retainer with an outer flange, and the guide device provides for their reinstallation with the flange being received in a curved groove in the block without requiring the removal of the crankshaft from the engine block. The guide device is bolted to the block using one of the empty bolt holes normally used to hold the lower rear main bearing in place. The device has a steel body with an arc shaped edge which extends around a portion of the crankshaft and a number of spaced pins which project from one side of the body adjacent the arc shaped edge. The spaced pins are located so their inner sides form a segment of a circle which is equal in diameter to the outer flange of the seal retainer and in alignment with the groove in the block.
