Abstract: A hole patching device including mechanism for covering an opening on an interior surface of a wall, the covering mechanism being formed of a generally rigid material and being at least two inches in diameter; mechanism for guiding the covering mechanism through the opening, which may include a slit cut from a center of the covering mechanism to an outer edge of the covering mechanism; mechanism for securing the covering mechanism to the interior surface of the wall to define a pocket; an insert for filling the pocket; and a hardenable material spread over the insert and pocket smoothable with the wall and a method of use.

Abstract: A collapsible tube winder and lock device wherein the winder includes a slotted key member for receiving the crimped closed end of a collapsible tube, the contents of the tube being dispensed by turning the key to wind the tube around the key to thereby squeeze the contents from the tube. The lock device includes an arm having depending legs detachably connected to the winder. The arm engages a wound portion of the collapsible tube to prevent the tube from unwinding itself from the winder.

Abstract: A holder for a wound collapsible tube wherein a strip of non-resilient, non-elastic, flexible fabric is positioned in the center of a rolled up tube, the strip having protruding end portions which are folded over the unwound portions of the tube and fastened together to keep the rolled-up portion from unwinding. The medial portion of the fabric strip is provided with a reinforcing member to rigidify the medial portion of the fabric strip to thereby provide a mandrel to facilitate the winding of the tube around the fabric strip.

Abstract: An illuminated siphon includes a directional light source attached adjacent the upper end of the siphon tube. The siphon includes a transmission path for the light source along the siphon inlet tube, with an illumination emission point near the inlet end of the siphon tube, and provides utility for the siphon in darkened and confined areas, such as vehicle fuel tanks. The light source and transmission path are disposed to one side of the siphon inlet tube, thus allowing a clear sight line for the operator along the opposite side of the tube. The inlet end of the siphon tube is inserted into the tank and the light source is activated, whereupon the siphon tube may be maneuvered to observe any water or other contaminates in the tank and to position the inlet end of the tube to withdraw those contaminates from the tank. The tube or pipe to which the light is attached is preferably relatively inflexible in order to provide for maneuverability of the light and inlet end from the opposite end.
