Abstract: An underpinning device for support a structure is provided. The underpinning device is anchored within the ground using a grout or cement. The underpinning device comprises a rod having a proximal rod end and a distal rod end. A first interacting element is coupled to the proximal rod end and is encased in the slab of a building. A second interacting element is coupled to the distal rod end and include a removable tip. Upon insertion into the ground, the tip dissociates from the second interacting element creating an opening at the distal rod end. A fluid, such as grout and/or cement is injected into the pipe and extruded through channels within the rod. The fluid is then allowed to cure thereby anchoring the underpinning device within the ground.

Abstract: A combined windshield wiping and cleaning device has a scrubbing member with a reticular surface for removing solid matter along with a wiper member for squeegee removal of water. These are formed together with a supporting base as a single monolithic extrusion of an elastomeric material. It fits into the windshield wiper arm in the same way as current blades which only wipe.
