Abstract: A device adapted to be vertically associated with an earring jacket has an elongated housing that pivotably holds a post for a pierced ear, and slidably holds an elongated bar having an apertured upper extremity. The post can be pivoted downwardly to a storage state and the bar can be raised to permit penetration of the upper extemity of the bar by a stud-type earring.

Abstract: An improvement for lubricating internal combustion engines whereby an external source of pressurized oil is connected through the engine oil filter port into cooperative association with the internal engine lubrication galleys and the engine starting mechanism, whereby oil pressure is applied to critical internal parts of the engine before the starting mechanism is enabled, thereby to ensure adequate lubrication for engine starting.
