  • Patent number: 4960014
    Abstract: An extension handle for a wrench is provided. The extension handle is elongated and has two U-shaped elements in planes perpendicular to the length of the extension handle. One of these U-shaped elements has its open and facing in one direction and the other U-shaped element has its open end facing in a direction opposite to the direction that the open end of the first element faces. This permits the extension handle to receive wrenches and to apply torque to the wrenches. In order that the extension handle will receive wrenches that are not flat, the U-shaped elements hold the wrenches in spaced relation to the body of the extension handle.

  • Patent number: 4669536
    Abstract: A groundwater monitoring system includes a bore, a well casing within and spaced from the bore, and a pump within the casing. A water impermeable seal between the bore and the well casing prevents surface contamination from entering the pump. Above the ground surface is a removable operating means which is connected to the pump piston by a flexible cord. A protective casing extends above ground and has a removable cover. After a groundwater sample has been taken, the cord is disconnected from the operating means. The operating means is removed for taking away, the cord is placed within the protective casing, and the cover closed and locked. The system is thus protected from contamination, as well as from damage by accident or vandalism.
