Friction pads are secured to the two sloping sections of the truncated bracket to grip a door knob when the hook plate is about the neck of the door knob to cause movement of the ball of the door knob by movement of the lever.

Abstract: A reciprocating shaft device suitable for numerous uses, including as a tattoo device, with a balanced generally symmetrical configuration having an electromagnetic coil with a shaft slidably mounted concentrically within the coil. A cylindrical housing encloses the shaft and electromagnetic coil. Damping means within the cylindrical housing quiet any noise generated by vibration. The electromagnetic coil is driven from a power source through a timer circuit and a switching circuit, the switching circuit energizing the coil with the timer circuit controlling the rate or frequency of the switching cycle.
