Abstract: A pipe joining tool including a mounting bracket for releasable attachment to a pipe. The mounting bracket has a U-shaped platform with an intermediate portion for engaging a pipe and a pair of slotted end portions extending from the opposite ends of the intermediate portion in a substantially parallel manner. A wedge slidably extends through the slots in the end portions for driving a pipe positioned within the U-shaped platform into tight engagement with the intermediate portion. A flexible link is secured to the mounting bracket and extends therefrom. A pipe fitting keeper is carried by the flexible link for releasably grasping a pipe fitting and suspending the pipe fitting adjacent the end of a pipe positioned within the U-shaped platform. A pair of spaced apart legs projects forwardly from the intermediate portion of the U-shaped platform. Each of the spaced apart legs has an internally threaded bore within which is positioned a bolt.

Abstract: An automotive seat belt pretensioner assembly is provided which includes a housing assembly (12) for receiving a cable (18) that is driven by a piston (16) toward an open end (54) of an actuator housing (24) in response to the operation of a pyrotechnic gas generating device (20). A plastic end cap (26) is provided for covering the housing end (54). The cap (26) includes a frangible end wall (54) for permitting passage of an end (46) of the cable (18). The frangible end wall (54) includes a pattern of reduced wall thickness (56).

Abstract: A portable Golf Swing Practice Device designed to train the Golfer in how to develop a full swing. This device responds to a full swing by returning the tethered golf ball to the original general tee off area or beyond when struck with the golf club in the correct fashioned, a full swing. The tethering is accomplished by the use of ground attachment, a dacron line and a nylon stretch cord attached to a golf ball, assembled in such a fashion as to allow consistent repeated use. By seeing these results the Golfer can develop a full swing which in turn will develop a better Golfer.
