Abstract: A pipe adapter including an inner tube member, a fastener member, an outer sleeve member, a compressible sleeve member, and a fitting member. The fastener member may have threads on an inner diameter adapted to matingly engage a threaded portion of the inner tube member along a proximal section thereof. The outer sleeve member may girdle the inner tube member and connect to and extend outwardly from the fastener member. The compressible sleeve member may be configured as at least one ring positioned to overlie the outer tube member. The fitting member may connect to a distal section of the inner tube member. At least a portion of at least one of the fitting member and the compressible sleeve member may be positionable within a portion of a pipe. The compressible sleeve member may extend outwardly from a longitudinal axis of the inner tube member toward the pipe.

Abstract: A folding knife includes a handle having a distal portion and a proximal portion, and a blade rotatably connected to the distal portion of the handle. The blade may be moveable between an opened position and a closed position, and may have at least one lock member receiving recess formed therein. The folding knife may further include a lock bar pivotally connected to a medial portion of the handle and moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The lock bar may include a lock member which contacts a respective portion of the blade adjacent the lock member receiving recess to define a contact point between the lock member and the blade when the blade is in the opened position and the lock bar is in the engaged position. The folding knife may also include a lock pin connected to the handle adjacent the lock member.
