20110198876 | ROPE HANDLING APPARATUS AND METHOD - The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for handling a length of rope using a hand-held device, when the length of rope is at a distance from the user of the apparatus. A rope handling device comprises a receiving means and a manipulating member, in which the manipulating member has an elongate portion, the elongate portion having opposite ends, and at least one of said ends an engagement portion; the receiving means has a rope mounting portion, attachable to a part of a rope to be manipulated, and a receptacle for engaging with the engagement portion; wherein the receiving means when engaged with the engagement portion at one of said ends of the elongate portion permits a user of the device to hold the manipulating member at an opposite end of the elongate member in order to handle a rope attached to the rope mounting portion. The rope handling apparatus further comprises a guide means for self-aligning the manipulating member with a rope prior to engagement of the engagement portion with the receptacle. | 08-18-2011 |
20110210573 | Puck retriever - A puck retriever has a hollow interior of diameter larger than that of a puck for use in the game of hockey. A ring of rubber or similar resiliently deformable material is located adjacent to the lower end of the tube. The ring has an inner edge which defines a circular inlet of diameter smaller than that of a puck. The ring flexes upward when pressed downward against a puck which is resting on a flat surface with resulting bending upward of the edge and enlargement of the inlet sufficient to allow the puck to pass through the inlet. The ring is of sufficient strength to resist flexing downward under the weight of any pucks within the tube such that the ring prevents pucks within the tube from exiting through the inlet. The ring may be continuous and unbroken throughout its circumference or it may be cut into a number of flaps. | 09-01-2011 |

The second upper end further comprises a sidewall, an enclosed top, an inner surface, and a tool receiving groove. The device also comprises a securing member that acts as a spacer and presses the tool attachment against the second upper end when the device is fastened to an elongated handle. Preferably, the core element also comprises gripping grooves along its exterior. Furthermore, the tool attachments are preferably common and inexpensive, such as nails and hooks. | 12-20-2012 |
20130313847 | Content Extraction Device - A content extraction device useful for removing or extracting the remaining contents of a partially empty container such as a bottle, or tube so that the remaining contents are not wasted. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the content extraction device is comprised of an elongated body portion and a plurality of head portions of varying shape and size that may be removably attached to one or both ends of the elongated body portion and used to remove the remaining contents of a package, such as a tube, bottle or the like. | 11-28-2013 |
20140319864 | SLIDING HANDLE REACHER - A reaching apparatus is provided for allowing a user to utilize gross motor skills to actuate the reaching apparatus. The reaching apparatus includes a fixed and a sliding handle on a shaft. An internal pulley system is connected between the first and second handles such that sliding of the second handle activates the pulley system to move the claw of the reaching apparatus between an open and closed configuration. The claw may be locked in an open and/or closed configuration by rotation of the handle on the shaft. The pulley system can be set to specific resistance to activate the claw upon different gross motor levels. | 10-30-2014 |
20160031646 | TOOL FOR MANUALLY HANDLING HEAVY PLATES - A hand-operated tool is disclosed for handling a heavy plate while standing at a distance from the plate. The tool comprises a body with gripping members defining a notch for insertion of a plate. The gripping members have inner edges with stepped profiles, defining pairs of opposed gripping surfaces. The pairs of gripping surfaces are spaced apart at different widths for receiving plates of different thicknesses, a pairs close to the opening of the notch having a width greater than a pair farther from the opening of the notch. An elongate handle extends from the body, and a force may be applied to the handle to cause the opposed gripping surfaces frictionally and releasably retain the plate in the notch. | 02-04-2016 |
20160096266 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, APPARATUSES FOR DISCONNECTING A CABLE FROM A RAILCAR - A tool for disconnecting a cable from a railcar is disclosed. The tool includes an elongated body having a first end and a second end. The tool also includes a handle portion disposed about the first end of the elongated body. Moreover, the tool includes an engagement member disposed about the second end of the elongated body. The engagement member may be configured to engage the cable. | 04-07-2016 |
20220136643 | MULTI-AXIS FOLDABLE MOBILE PHONE HOLDER - Disclosed is a multi-axis foldable mobile phone holder, which includes a mounting base, a supporting rod connected to the mounting base, and a movable base connected to the supporting rod, two ends of the supporting rod are respectively connected with the mounting base and the movable base through a rotating shaft, the mounting base or/and the movable base are further provided with a bottom base, the mounting base or/and the movable base is connected to the bottom base through a rotating shaft. When the multi-axis foldable mobile phone holder of the present disclosure is in use, the mounting base, the supporting rod, the movable base, and the bottom base are turned about the rotating shaft and opened, thus the mobile phone is in a state where the user needs to use it. | 05-05-2022 |
