Abstract: The umbrella holding coat device is intended to provide users with coats that have an external umbrella pocket to store a wet umbrella within the coat. The device allows users to externally store their wet or damp umbrella when they arrive at home, office, school, or when entering an establishment. Further, the umbrella pocket provides users a location to store a wet or damp umbrella as well as allow it to dry without leaking or spilling water. To accomplish this, the device includes an umbrella pocket with multiple layers and functionalities. Furthermore, the device provides a central location for umbrella storage and negates the need to use umbrella canisters. Similar to other coats, the umbrella holding coat device may be stored in closets, coat racks, or similar locations after taking it off and thereby allow the umbrella pocket to protect and dry the umbrella.

Abstract: This tool permits rapid and easy stripping of the outer insulation from cxial cables or the like. The end of the cable to be stripped is first inserted into a gauging hole in a block of insulating material. A pair of blade-shaped electrical heating elements are clamped against opposite sides of the cable at the mouth of the hole and the cable rotated to form a thermal circumferential cut in the outer insulation. The cable end is then placed in another jig with a V-shaped groove therein and a blade-shaped heating element at the bottom of the groove. A second similar heating element is arranged above the groove and the cable. These two heating elements produce diametrically opposed longitudinal cuts in the insulation, after which two pieces of the insulation can be easily removed.
