Abstract: A floor scuff removal device consisting of an elongated hollow tube having an angle cut end for applying friction to the scuff for removal. Angle cut end is partially and permanently filled with flat area for applying self-adhesive removable cloth pad. Area of angle cut end not covered by previously mentioned flat area may be used for scraping scuff when needed.

Abstract: A rod bending device includes an L-shaped bracket formed by a mounting plate adjoined to a support plate at a substantially 90.degree. angle. The bracket is mounted to an outwardly extending corner wall whereby an outer surface of the support plate aligns with one of the intersecting corner walls. A bending assembly is mounted to the support plate and includes a pivot support block and corner block which extend outwardly from the support plate and which are spaced from and parallel to one another forming a rod retaining cavity therebetween. The corner block having a corner edge which forms the fulcrum about which the rod is bent. An end block extends between the corner block and the pivot support block to enclose the rod retaining cavity. A gap is formed between an upper portion of the pivot support block and the support plate for receiving a pivot arm. The pivot arm is pivotally secured within the gap.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sensing and recording diverse operational and performance characteristics of automotive vehicles and the like has a plurality of transducers directly associated with different mechanical functions of the vehicle for sensing their operating characteristics in relation to time as well as generating analog signals representative of certain functions and combining them with digital signals representing other functions. A signal converter encodes signals from the transducers and converts the signals in predetermined order into digital data signals. Each succession of signals generated are temporarily stored. A recorder then records information stored serially and enables ready access to and identification of each event or condition.
