Abstract: A lamp suitable for desk tops and the like includes a leg or upright resting on a base or other stationary element. An arm is secured to the leg and has a light source at its end. The arm and upright can be pivoted about various axes to allow the light source to be positioned arbitrarily to various positions. A support mechanism is provided inside the upright and the arm. The mechanism includes coil springs that are selectively compressed as the arm and upright are moved to generate supporting forces. The arm and upright does maintain their position and do not fall over after the light source has been positioned to the desired location. In another embodiment, the leg is omitted.

Abstract: A book with at least one rotating device that allows the user to answer various questions and check whether his responses are correct that also may be used as an entertaining or easy to use reference source.

Abstract: This invention relates to the tool and fastener industry, and, more particularly, to a driver designed for coaxial and non-coaxial driving of a head for a threaded connector, such as a screw or bolt with a lobed drive recess. More particularly, to a tool or driver which has an elliptiziodal head to fit a mating lobed recess in the head of a fastener to provide non-binding torque in high angular displacement applications. The head portion conforms to the shape of an elliptiziod whose minor axis lies substantially along the central axis of the tool. The major axis of the elliptiziod is substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis of the tool. The head can be of any diameter and is preferably larger then the shank to avoid necking at the shank head interface.

Abstract: A book and pages having a mechanical means for causing a figure associated with the theme of the book to pop-up upon opening the front cover, last page or other page of the book.

Abstract: An accordion-folded page book with a binding which compresses the pages of the book but is not permanently fastened in one location, thereby allowing the binding to be moved from one position which allows access to one set of pages, to a second position which allows access to a second set of pages; whereby sliding the binding and flipping the book over enables the user to have access to the opposite sides of the pages.
