Abstract: An improved immersion blender generally consisting of a motor, an elongated motor shaft that extends from the motor through a removable tubular guard to a back-to-back radial-flow cutter blade. The cutter blade is securely attached to the distal end of motor shaft and is housed within the tubular guard assembly. The tubular guard has a manifold at its distal end that provides side inlet and outlet ports for the blade and a lower inlet aperture through the distal annular plate of the manifold. The lower blade of the back-to-back radial-flow cutter draws liquid from the bottom portion of the container, through the lower inlet side-ports in the manifold and the aperture through the distal end of the manifold, and discharges the liquid through the outlet ports in the manifold toward the sides of container in a radial direction.

Abstract: A portable beverage cooler comprises an automobile tire and a bottom membrane attached thereto. Optionally, a drain valve may be inserted in the side wall of the tire to facilitate draining liquid from inside the beverage cooler. Additionally, a pair of handles may be attached to the cooler to enhance its portability. Also, a base may be attached to the tire and/or rollers may be attached to the base or to the tire to increase the portability and point-of-sale functionality of the cooler.

Abstract: A motor driven ratchet wrench has a ratchet gear, oscillating pawl and pawl driver components situated in a sealed housing at the head end of the wrench. Premature wearing of parts is avoided as dirt cannot enter and lubricant does not escape. Frequent cleaning and relubrication is unnecessary. Internal components of the pawl, pawl driver and directional control for reversing the angular direction of the torque which is applied to threaded fasteners have configurations which enable the head end of the sealed wrench to be compact as is advantageous for use of the wrench is constricted locations.

Abstract: A power driven ratchet tool includes a generally tubular handle having a drive motor and transmission supported therein, and a driver assembly releasably secured to the handle. The driver assembly includes a tubular housing having a drive shaft extending therethrough and coupled to the motor through the transmission. A wrench head housing at the distal end of the housing includes a drive socket having an aperture therethrough configured to engage a standard threaded component. The drive socket includes gear teeth extending about the periphery thereof. The drive shaft supports an eccentric crank at its distal end to engage a slot opening in a drive pawl pin disposed within the head housing. The drive pawl pin is constrained to translate within the housing in a reciprocal arcuate path concentric to the drive socket axis.
