Abstract:
The present invention consists of a combination money clip and spare key holder which is further provided with a heart or other shaped imprintable substantially planar advertising surface located above the spare key holder and/or on a substantially planar surface on the exterior of the blade clips for retaining bills. The present invention is constructed so that one or more spare keys may be kept in ready access. The present invention may be imprinted with a company name, location, phone number, web address, or other information by which the company name is remembered by the user of the device and can be easily contacted. Or, the present invention may be simply imprinted or etched with the user's name or initials as a personalized and special gift. It is anticipated that the combination money clip and spare key holder can be slipped into small shirt or trouser pockets or pockets where there is not much room and a wallet may not fit. Further, the combination money clip and spare key holder ensures that the user will never be locked out of home, car or office. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the design is such that it may be made from one plastic mold, hence avoiding the cost of manufacturing multiple molds and additional product assembly costs.
Abstract:
A link cutting apparatus for cutting a twist between two links. The apparatus includes a link aligning device and a trimming device. The link aligning device is movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position where the device will engage a link and align the twist with the cutting device. In one embodiment, the link aligning device includes a link aligning member pivotable between the engaged and disengaged positions. Preferably, the apparatus further includes a second link aligning device that will engage a second link and align a second twist with a cutting device. The trimming device includes at least two cutting edges that will remove at least a portion of the twist from both of the links. In one embodiment, the cutting edges comprise at least two knives and at least one blade sized to fit between the knives. Preferably, the apparatus further includes a second trimming device having at least two cutting edges that will remove at least a portion of a second twist from a second pair of links.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for additive fabrication which helps to prevent the newly hardened layer from being separated from the previously formed layer of the object while the foil is peeled from the newly hardened layer is provided. In one embodiment, use of a peel angle helps prevent the newly hardened layer from being separated from the previously formed layer during peeling by distributing the peeling force so that less of the z-direction component of the peeling force is applied to the newly hardened layer. In another embodiment, the object can be oriented to initiate the peel at an area, of the object which results in a lesser initial peeling force applied to the newly hardened layer.
