Abstract: A double duty hole punch that punches holes in paper and supports a hand-held electronic device thereon. The double duty hole punch includes a base, a handle, a pair of punch dies, and a supporting apparatus. The base rests on a horizontal surface. The handle is pivotally attached to the base. The pair of punch dies are operatively connected to the handle, and punch the holes in the paper. The supporting apparatus supports the hand-held electronic device thereon.

Abstract: An error proof measuring tape rule for eliminating snagging on a work piece. The rule includes a tape rule, a hook affixed to the tape rule, and a one-piece spoon affixed to the tape rule. The upper surface of the body portion of the one-piece spoon is positioned on the lower surface of the free end of the tape rule, with the three throughbores in the body portion of the one-piece spoon aligned with three forwardmost throughbores of the four throughbores in the free end of the tape rule, and with the tail portion of the one-piece spoon extending upwardly through a rearmost throughbore of the four throughbores in the free end of the tape rule and rearwardly along the upper surface of the free end of the tape rule.

Abstract: A towel mitt for washing that includes a first layer of material and a second layer of material juxtaposed on the second layer of material and forms therewith a hand receiving pocket for receiving a hand of a user. The first and second layers of material have pile outer faces for delicate washing and abrasive inner faces for more abrasive cleaning and for increasing friction between the hand of the user and the towel mitt so as to prevent unintentional dropping of the towel mitt. The hand receiving pocket is symmetrical relative to the longitudinal centerline of the towel mitt so as to allow the towel mitt to be used on either hand without discomfort, and is defined by stitching that is inward of the edges of the first and second layers of material so as to form flaps that when flipped above expose the abrasive inner faces of the first and second layers of material for utilization when more abrasive cleaning is required.

Abstract: A portable telephone with flashlight that includes a portable telephone that is powered by a battery and has a front face, a back face, a top face, a bottom face, and a pair of side faces, and a flashlight disposed on the portable telephone. The flashlight extends axially from the top face of the portable telephone, in proximity to one side face of the pair of side a faces of the portable telephone. The flashlight includes a reflector that is substantially flush with the top face of the portable telephone, a bulb that is cradled axially in the reflector of the flashlight so as to project a beam of light axially of the portable telephone, and an ON/OFF switch that is disposed on the one side face of the pair of side faces of the portable telephone, in proximity to the top face of the portable telephone.

Abstract: A bottle cap adaptable spout that is attachable to an appropriately modified plastic cap of a spent motor oil bottle that converts the spent motor oil bottle into an oiler for dispensing oil contained therein.

Abstract: A tube squeezer that is replaceably attachable to a tube with contents and prevents the contents of the tube from flowing backwards therein when the tube is no longer squeezed and thereby allowing the contents of the tube to be readily and constantly available without waste. The squeezer includes a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion has two pair of vertically-disposed legs with inboard surfaces that oppose each other and define a longitudinal space therebetween. The lower portion further has a lateral space between each pair of legs at the pair of lateral sides of the lower portion. The top surface of the lower portion has a groove. The upper portion is replaceably interlocked with the lower portion. The upper portion further has a pair of tabs, each of which releasibly and frictionally engages its respective lateral space in the lower portion when the upper portion is interlocked with the lower portion.

Abstract: A firearm barrel cleaning cartridge that includes a hollow, cylindrically-shaped, closed back, and open front shell casing, at least one expandable, generally hemispherically-shaped, rearwardly-facing, and removable wiper, a propellant, and at least one wad. The hollow, cylindrically-shaped, closed back, and open front shell casing contains an internal chamber. The at least one expandable, generally hemispherically-shaped, rearwardly-facing, and removable wiper is contained laterally in the hollow, cylindrically-shaped, closed back, and open front shell casing and divides the internal chamber into a plurality of internal sub-chambers. The propellant is contained in a first internal sub-chamber of the plurality of internal sub-chambers.

Abstract: A time indicating traffic light that includes a vertically-oriented and rectangular-parallelepiped-shaped housing, a circular-shaped "stop" indicator light, a circular-shaped "caution" indicator light, seven rectangular-shaped "go" indicator lights, and a time indicating display. The circular-shaped "stop" indicator light, the circular-shaped "caution" indicator light, and the seven rectangular-shaped "go" indicator lights are disposed in the vertically-oriented and rectangular-parallelepiped-shaped housing. The seven rectangular-shaped "go" indicator lights have a pair of parallel, elongated, spaced-apart, vertically-oriented, and rectangular-shaped "go" indicator lights, and five adjacent, slightly vertically spaced-apart, horizontally-oriented, and rectangular-shaped "go" lights.

Abstract: A self-cleaning knob water faucet that includes a hollow water faucet housing, a water valve assembly, a knob, and water showering apparatus. The hollow water faucet body has an interior space and a spout from which water can exit. The water valve assembly is disposed in the hollow water faucet housing and has a distal end that extends outwardly therefrom. The water valve further has a closed position in which water does not exit the spout of the hollow water faucet body and an open position in which water exits the spout of the hollow water faucet body. The knob is disposed on the distal end of the water valve and is rotatable by a hand of user for moving the water valve assembly through the closed position of the water valve assembly and the open position of the water valve assembly.
