Abstract: This present invention relates to a wax designed to create a non-stick, polished surface on snow shovels, snow blower chutes and other devices. The wax comprises of ingredients such as odorless mineral spirits, beeswax and paraffin wax, and can be easily applied using a cloth. Additionally, the unique wax of the present invention offers a rust preventative solution when applied to metal surfaces and enables individuals to utilize the wax as a wood preservative and polish in addition to its other uses.

Abstract: An improved circumference measuring device of the type comprising a tape curved to form a closed loop with the tape ends being attached to mounting members resiliently biased away from each other to tend to tighten the loop. A cam and follower system operates on one of the mounting members to move the mounting members closer together against the bias for insertion of a rod to be measured and then allow the mounting members to move apart to tighten the loop around the rod. Means responsive to the distance apart of the mounting members indicates the size of the loop and thus of the rod being measured and an automatic control system operates the cam so as cyclically to move the mounting members and adjust the loop between relaxed and rod-gripping and measuring conditions.

Abstract: A circumference-measuring gauge comprising a tape curved over an intermediate portion into a closed loop with its two end portions extending away from the loop in opposite directions, two mounting members one fixed relative to each end portion of the tape and mounted for relative movement towards and away from one another to increase or decrease the loop circumference, and means responsive to the distance apart of two datum points one fixed relative to each mounting member to indicate the size of the loop.
