Abstract: An operating knob to be attached to a supporting member includes an operating part and a connector. The connector is attached to the operating part and includes a fitting cylindrical portion, a stopper disposed at an inner circumferential side of the fitting cylindrical portion to protrude on a radial inside, and housing portion. When the operating part is applied with a load greater than or equal to a predetermined value from an exterior in a direction toward the supporting member in a state where a fitting portion of the supporting member is fitted into the fitting cylindrical portion, the stopper is bent from the radial inside to a direction approximately parallel to the rotation axis so as to be housed in the housing portion and the fitting cylindrical portion moves toward the supporting member along an outer circumference of the fitting portion.

Abstract: A hand-held instrument has a business end and a handle attached to the business end. The handle has a gripping portion and a longitudinal axis. A knob is provided on the gripping portion of the handle to facilitate the wielding of the hand-held instrument. The knob is disposed such that it projects away from the handle in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle. In a preferred, but not required embodiment, the knob is removably attached to the handle by a quick release attachment device. In a typical, but not required, such embodiment, the quick release attachment device includes a male connection pin disposed within the knob and a female receptor disposed within the hand tool.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic equipment has an operation tool with crashing function. An operation tool 3 is supported on an encoder 5 serving as a support member. In the operation tool 3, an outer knob 9 serving as an operation portion is to be operated by an operator. A mounting cylindrical portion 19 serving as a mounting portion is formed such that it has a clearance S with respect to the outer knob 9 in the impact acting operation. And, a crashable connecting portion 21 connects together the operation portion and mounting portion and can be crashed due to an impact given to the operation portion to thereby allow the operation portion to move with respect to the mounting portion. The crashable connecting portion 21 extends radially from the mounting cylindrical portion 19 and is connected to the outer knob 9 and includes plural bridge portions formed radially.

Abstract: The invention entails a handle for a pull-rope starter of a drive motor, especially of a chain saw. The invention includes at least one handle section, at least one fastening section for a starter rope, and a damping for smoothing out force peaks produced in the handle during the starting of the drive motor. The damping is arranged in the handle section.

Abstract: A lopper shear pull-rope grip includes a closed end provided with a bulge. The through hole of the bulge is connected to the hollow notch of the grip, where a rope can penetrate the through hole. And, a slanting board extends downwards from the through hole. The slanting board is provided with a conductive rim. Moreover, a through notch is formed in the grip under the bulge. A pulley is mounted in the through notch and has a rim. Thus, the pulley can slide smoothly along the slanting board of the grip. When the rope is pulled upwards, the pulley will clamp the rope more compactly so as to adjust and position the rope rapidly for convenient and loose-free usage.

Abstract: A hand-held instrument has a business end and a handle attached to the business end. The handle has a gripping portion and a longitudinal axis. A knob is provided on the gripping portion of the handle to facilitate the wielding of the hand-held instrument. The knob is disposed such that it projects away from the handle in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle. In a preferred, but not required embodiment, the knob is removably attached to the handle by a quick release attachment device. In a typical, but not required, such embodiment, the quick release attachment device includes a male connection pin disposed within the knob and a female receptor disposed within the hand tool.

Abstract: An assortment of decorative gate handle pulling devices which include a right-angled bracket attached to a gate post, a string or cable having one end attached to a gate latch and which extends out the horizontal arm of the bracket, the opposite end of the string being suspended from the end of the horizontal arm and having a decorative gate pull attached thereto. The gate is opened by grasping the decorative pull and pulling on the string to unlatch the gate.

Abstract: An attic door pull having a ball chain attached to an attic door at one end and a finial attached to the other end by a coupler. The coupler includes a bore and the balls of the ball chain disposed in the bore are of a diameter less than the remaining balls.

Abstract: A material is used to form a stop at the end of a lashing string. The material is made of a plastic material and takes the form of a long strap, which is rolled up and is provided in two long sides with a plurality of ridges and grooves. The ridges and the grooves are alternately arranged to form a plurality of lashing portions, with each being adhered to the end of the lashing string to form the stop serving to prevent the lashing string from slipping out of a string hole of the paper bag and the like.

Abstract: A handle assembly includes a ring-shaped body which has three tapered passages defined radially therethrough, each passages having a large diameter opening defined in the inside of the handle and a smaller diameter opening defined in the outside of the handle. A resilient rope extends through at least one of the tapered passages. A locking device has a teardrop member and a shank extending from the teardrop member. The shank has a collar connected thereto, and the collar has a clamping member movably engaged therewith. The resilient rope in the tapered passage is securely held by the teardrop member. The resilient rope extends through the collar and is engaged by the clamping member.

Abstract: An end tassel and a separator for blind cords, each of which releasably secures one of the multitude cords in position. The end tassel receives the cord through an opening in which the cord is secured. One such cord, however, on the end tassel is permanently secured in the event the other cords are loosened. If a child or pet should swallow the end tassel, because the one cord is permanently secured, the end tassel can be pulled from the mouth of the child. The separator similarly has openings for multiple cords which permit them to pass upwardly and downwardly. One such opening, however, is securely anchored to the cord to provide for alignment as well as release and loss or being swallowed. In an alternative embodiment, a single cord is permanently secured through a hole in the underside tassel and knotted or otherwise secured in place. The tassel may be of various sizes and so may be the cords.
