Abstract: A manually operated hair cutting device having a movable spring wire extending through the device. The wire has a base end for engaging one's head to regulate the length at which the hair is cut. The other end of the wire is connected to an activator which is adapted to be moved to forward and rear positions. As the activator is moved forward, the wire is moved through the device such that its base end is moved away from the cutting teeth. When the base end of the wire engages the head, and the activator is moved forward, the device moves upward along the wire. A movable stop normally prevents the handles from being moved together to prevent hair cutting action. An adjustable engager on the activator engages the stop and moves it out of the way as the activator moved forward to allow the handles to be moved together for hair cutting purposes.

Abstract: A device to be fitted around the penis of a human male to facilitate and maintain an erection.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for cracking nuts that comprises back and front end plates connected together by a plurality of rods. The rods are attached at their end portions to the respective plates by pivotal connections and are spaced and disposed in an array that together with the plates defines an enclosure. One of the plates contains an aperture for the insertion of a nut to be cracked within the enclosure defined by the rods. Rotating one plate with respect to the other constricts the enclosed space, thereby cracking the nut within.
