  • Publication number: 20250108432
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an agricultural chain detacher device designed for detaching or attaching chain links in an agricultural chain. The device features a base with a pair of adjustable clamps to securely hold chains of varying sizes. A vertical wall extends from the base to support a chain link in a vertical orientation. The device includes a screw mechanism with a die hand crank to enable linear movement of a die to interact with the chain link for removal or attachment of the chain link. A center stopper on the base maintains a minimum gap between the clamps for smooth movement of the chain. For attaching a new link, a link connection die is used for fastening flat edge of the new link with curved edge of another link. For removing a link from the chain, a link removing die is used for detaching the link.

  • Patent number: 10434745
    Abstract: A garage oil mat that provides easy clean-up for oil spills includes a top impermeable panel, a lower impermeable panel, a border, and a plurality of reflective strips. The top impermeable panel and the lower impermeable panel are connected to each other while the border is perimetrically connected around the top impermeable panel and atop the lower impermeable panel. The plurality of reflective strips is adjacently connected onto the top impermeable panel so that the reflective strips can function as visual indicators during daytime. The border is superimposed over with a high performance laminated photoluminescent film tape so that the high performance laminated photoluminescent film tape can function as a visual indicator during nighttime.
