Abstract: A device comprising a corkscrew; a substantially flexible shaft operably attached to the corkscrew at a first end of the shaft; and one or more protrusions extending from the shaft between the first end of the shaft and a second end of the shaft. Methods of using the device are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is a chandelier with a height adjustment system comprising a counterweight located within a pair of vertically positioned rails connected to a chandelier by two wires corrected to the top of the counterweight on one end and to the chandelier at the other. The counterweight is configured (weighted) such that it is close in weight to the chandelier such that the chandelier can be easily raised or lowered by moving the counterweight by hand down or up within the vertical rails. The pair of wires traverse up between the vertical rails over a first pair of pivoting pulleys located above the counterweight. The pair of wires further traverse over a second pair of pivoting pulleys located above the chandelier and then down to the top of the chandelier where each of the wires are connected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to furniture and devices and a system for forming working areas within open spaces. More specifically, the present invention relates to furniture, devices and systems that can be used to create individual working areas and offices in an open space with the ability to create privacy similar to an enclosed office without constructing permanent walls and partitions. The invention includes a main support frame/structure supported off the floor which receives and connects to component panels also supported off the floor which function like office walls. The configuration of the resulting compartments is adjustable using different sized panels and by positioning panels and opening in different locations. The system has an open top configuration with an upward lighting system integral to the top support member and inside it to provide upward lighting to the space(s).
