  • Extension assembly for faucets
    Patent number: 9052036
    Abstract: An extension assembly for effectively extending a faucet stem to facilitate the maintenance of a faucet assembly. The extension assembly includes a stem extender which connects to a faucet stem, an extension tube which fits over the stem extender and determines the length by which the faucet stem is extended, and an optional adapter for interfacing between the faucet stem and the stem extender.

  • CERAMIC WOOD BURNING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20040104210
    Abstract: A method and device for burning a pattern in a surface of wood or other charrable material. The device generally comprises a ceramic body having a raised pattern defined on a surface thereof and means for locally heating the raised pattern to a temperature sufficient to burn a pattern in a surface of wood contacted by the ceramic body. While various heating means are possible, two noted heating means are an electrically-resistive wire or an electrical-conductive ceramic material embedded in the ceramic body in proximity to the raised pattern, both of which serve to locally heat the raised pattern when current from a suitable electric current source flows therethrough.
