Abstract: A pair of eyeglasses is provided that includes a frame having hinge joints coupled to opposite ends of the frame and a pair of temple members pivotally coupled to the hinge joints. When in use, the temple members may be pivoted about a substantially horizontal axis of rotation between an extended or open position where the temple members are space apart and parallel to one other, and a folded or closed position where one member is folded over the other in an area behind the eyeglass frame.

Abstract: A method of forming blister pack packaging is provided including providing a thermoplastic material and placing the thermoplastic material between a pair of opposed male and female thermoforming dies, while cooling a portion of at least one of the dies. The cooled portion of the die is positioned to contact the area of the thermoplastic material in which it is desired to avoid distortion.

Abstract: A toothbrush for cleaning teeth, especially the interproximal region between adjacent, closely spaced or normally contacting teeth, has at least one fin extending from the body of the toothbrush through the bristled head. The fin is a thin, tapering, blade-like member with a distal edge for cleaning teeth by scraping motion. The fin is molded from plastic resin, and is constructed so as to resist buckling loads to tend to penetrate and clean the interproximal tooth surfaces, even to the point of temporarily separating lightly contacting surfaces of adjacent teeth. Various fin embodiments are presented, including one that has an outwardly-biasing loop portion. Methods of use and manufacture and preferred materials are also disclosed.

Abstract: A Automotive Frame Shortening Device used in the shortening of original equipment automotive frames in the building of kit cars or custom hot rods. The frame shortening device provides an inexpensive yet reliable and extremely rigid and durable means of shortening automotive frames. The shortening of these frames is accomplished without the use of welding or cutting torches so as to leave the automotive frames molecular structure uncompromised.

Abstract: A compact disc brake piston retraction tool and method for retracting a disc brake piston is provided for moving a disc brake piston into a retracted position in the cylinder position in the cylinder bore of a disc brake caliper in order to allow the replacement of worn disc brake pads. The tool includes a threaded bolt, and a threaded collar, which bolt-collar assembly can operate alone or be attached to a brace support wall to enable the invention to be braced against the caliper arms opposite the brake piston to allow pressure to be exerted on the disc brake piston by the rotation of the collar around the threaded bolt thereby causing the bolt-collar assembly to lengthen and exert pressure against the disc brake piston by a variety of means such as directly, by a piston bearing plate, or a brake pad attached to the brake piston.
