Abstract:
A bathing wand (10) can include a handle (24) including a grasp (20). The grasp (20) can include a first section (34) and a second section (36). The first section (34) and the second section (36) can form a loop hole (38) configured to receive a user's hand. The bathing wand (10) can also include a wand head (12) and a bathing implement (16). The bathing implement (16) can be coupled to the wand head (12). In some configurations, the bathing wand (10) can include a vertebrae system (30).
Abstract:
A multi-head wraparound tool comprising three working heads comprises an elongate handle section, an upper section at one end of the handle comprising two arms extending away from the upper section in a substantially U shape, a central working 5 head receiving means mounted directly above the upper section between the two arms, two peripheral working head receiving means attached to each arm by a spring loaded hinge; and an actuator mechanism for manipulating the position of the peripheral working heads. The peripheral working head receiving means are spring biased inwardly so that the peripheral working heads form a substantially planar closed 10 triangular configuration with the central working head, with the three working heads wrapped around the item to be cleaned and/or painted.
Abstract:
A hand-held tool (10) has a handle having (11) a first end (12) configured for engaging a removable rotationally directional working tip (13). A sealing element (14) mountable in association with the handle and the working tip in known rotational alignment with the working tip seals the first end of the handle where it engages the working tip and provides tactile feedback to a user of the rotational direction of the working tip. The tactile feedback may also be achieved by one or more annular sleeves (30) formed of a flexible material mounted on the tool handle (11).
Abstract:
A recyclable cleaning article. The cleaning article includes a recyclable polymer handle to be manipulated by a user. The cleaning article also includes a cleaning head attached to the handle. The cleaning head has a plurality of flaccid cleaning elements. Each cleaning element includes a plurality of cords, and each cord is formed of recyclable polymer filaments. The cords of each cleaning element are interlaced together.
Abstract:
A dental instrument includes a handle and a tool that extends completely through the handle. The handle includes a handle body made of rigid material and a gripping sheath formed of resilient pliable material surrounding the handle body. The handle body and the gripping sheath may terminate at the same location on at least one end of the handle, preferably with an intersection with a bore through the handle body and/or an outer surface of a shaft of the tool.
Abstract:
A hand-held pump apparatus (1) comprises a peristaltic pump head (2) and a container (20) for a liquid to be dispensed. The pump head (2) has a rotatable peristaltic pump member (6) and a flexible dispensing tube (4) in fluid connection with the inside of the container. A finger-actuated trigger (12) is arranged to drive the peristaltic pump member (6) when actuated so as to cause the peristaltic pump member to turn and pump fluid through the dispensing tube(4). The pump head (2) has a thumb hole (8) disposed through it, the thumb hole being disposed within an area around which the peristaltic pump member turns when actuated.
Abstract:
A cookware article handle (100) comprises a rubber covered metal grip (140) for connection with the cookware body at a flange portion (120). A metal core (125) extends from the flange to the terminal end of the handle. The portion of rubber that covers the metal core as a plurality of perforations (145) that extend laterally transverse to the principal axis of the metal core. The perforations provide softness to the rubber grip portion, without affecting the strength derived from the metal core. The metal core terminates at the distal end with hanging means which is optionally a rotating metal loop used for hanging the cookware article. The metal loop (131) pivots or rotates about an axle at the terminal end of the metal core.
Abstract:
A device for treating a target, such as cleaning a window. The device has a handle and head, mounted in pivotal relationship to each other. When the head is placed in sliding, contacting relationship with the target surface the handle can pivot relative to the head for the ergonomic convenience of the user.
Abstract:
A tool handle including: a body configured to receive a handle of a tool; a hand grip extending approximately perpendicular from the body; and an arm ring rotatably disposed on the body, wherein the arm ring is adapted to be placed in at least two positions, a first position in which the arm ring is generally perpendicular to the hand grip such that a user may place the users forearm through the arm ring to grasp the hand grip and a second position in which the arm ring is generally parallel to the hand grip so as to minimize the width of the tool handle.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a foil applicator, such as a spatula (1), for applying foil, in particular self-adhesive foil, to a surface, for instance the bodywork of a car. It is the object according to the present invention to provide an improved foil applicator. For this purpose the handgrip (2) is elongate and the pressing edge (5) lies at an angle relative to the handgrip. The foil applicator further comprises at least one hook (7, 8). Using the hook adhered foil can be pulled back, for instance out of or from edges, seams and transitions, in the event air bubbles have been included in the foil, without having to pick up another tool, which would take some time and during which time the foil could adhere more fixedly to the surface and the foil could be damaged even more when - after another tool has been picked up - it must then be released at or from the edges, seams and transitions.
