Abstract: According to one aspect of the application, a device for driving a fastening element into a substrate has an energy-transfer element for transferring energy to the fastening element. The energy-transfer element can move preferably between a starting position and a setting position, wherein the energy-transfer element is located, before a driving-in procedure, in the starting position and, after the driving-in procedure, in the setting position. According to another aspect of the application, the device comprises a mechanical-energy storage device for storing mechanical energy. The energy-transfer element is then suitable preferably for transferring energy from the mechanical-energy storage device to the fastening element.

Abstract: A setting tool for driving fastening elements in a constructional component includes piston stop device (30) for braking the setting piston (20) and which is located at an end region of the hollow chamber (14) of the piston guide (13) in which the setting piston is displaceable, adjacent to the bolt guide (12), and has a stop element for the setting piston (20) and which has a first ring (31) and a second ring (32) arranged coaxially with each other and displaceable relative to each other, and a receiving space (3) provided between the two rings and filled with particles (34) with respect to which the receiving space is sealed.

Abstract: A toothpaste measuring toothbrush for allowing users of a toothbrush to know how much toothpaste is needed or recommended simply by filling a reservoir in the toothbrush. The toothpaste measuring toothbrush generally includes toothbrush bristles, a head that attaches to the bristles, and a well surrounded by bristles.

Abstract: A tool for holding small parts and for immobilizing the parts during cleaning or other treatment with a fluid. The tool includes first and second porous members which encompass the part. At least one of the first and second members is deformable to partially conform to the part. The tool has elements for holding or securing the first and second members together during cleaning. The tool may also have a handle connected to the first and second porous members. The handle may be spring biased so that the first and second members are normally held together to enclose a part. The handle can be manipulated to move the first and second members apart when it is desired to insert or remove a part from between them.

Abstract: ABSTRACT: A double sided dental articulating paper forceps that has two pairs of opposed jaws (12) which hold articulating paper or gauze, one on each end of the appliance, extending from interconnected arms (16) and intermediate arms (14), allowing the quick drying and marking of the dental occlusion with one instrument as well as allowing the marking of the dental occlusion with two separate articulating paper colors in one instrument.

Abstract: A setting tool for driving fastening elements in a constructional component includes piston stop device for braking the setting piston, and is located at an end region of the hollow chamber of the piston guide in which the setting piston is displaceable, and has a damping element supported against a bottom, a stop element for the setting piston and adjoining the damping element in a direction of the hollow chamber, and an inertia body cooperating with the stop element and displaceable in a direction parallel to a longitudinal extent of the setting piston between first and second stops both of which are connected with the stop element and a distance between which, in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extent of the setting piston, is greater than a length of the inertia body in a same direction by length of a decoupling path.
