The present invention relates to a magnetic drive and clutch assembly, especially to an assembly suitable for use in radio or remote-controlled toys and model vehicles. There is described a magnetic drive for a wheel or other rotating body comprising (i) a motor assembly (,) coupled to an axle (,) carrying a housing (,) carrying at least one drive magnet (,) of a chosen polarity, and (ii) a wheel (,) or other rotating body including at least one wheel magnet (,) of the opposite polarity; the motor assembly and wheel (or other rotating body) being mounted for support such that the drive (,) and wheel (,) magnets are positioned adjacently axially with a spacing therebetween.

The disclosed travel massage brush is an ultra-compact vibrating hair brush that comfortably fits an average woman's or man's hand in the hair brushing or massage modes. It is light in weight and portable permitting grooming and/or soothing scalp or body massage anywhere, at any time. Pivotally connected vibratory brush-head and handle subassemblies provide maximum space saving portability, making the travel massage brush ideal for taking along to the gym, to work, or while traveling. The vibratory brush-head subassembly includes a bristle carrier that is removably attached to a base member thereof and preferably slides on and off the base member to allow for convenient bristle cleaning and to access the battery compartment. Gentle ball-tipped bristles stimulate circulation to hair follicles. A vibratory motion imparter with two separate speeds mounted to the base member of the brush-head subassembly provides an effective scalp massage to stimulate blood circulation to hair follicles, and works as a detangler for healthier, better looking hair. Two separate sets of massage ridges provide an invigorating pinpoint massage or a soothing area massage. The travel massage brush is cordless, and may be used anywhere, at anytime, and runs for hours on a single &ldquo;AA&rdquo; battery.

A multi-mode exercise machine has a re-configurable arm member operable in alternate upstanding and recumbent configurations that allows the machine to be used, when the re-configurable arm member is configured in its upright configuration, to provide a first mode of exercise where the user is supported in such an upright position as to be able to exercise at least his/her lower body, and that allows the machine to be used, when the re-configurable arm member is configured in its recumbent configuration, to provide a second mode of exercise, where the user is supported in such a recumbent position as to allow the user to exercise at least his/her upper body. In the presently preferred embodiment, the re-configurable arm member includes a pivotally mounted and self-locking arm member movable between a first, upright position and a second, recumbent position. In the presently preferred embodiment, the first and second exercise modes include cycling and rowing exercise modes.

A can opener includes a pair of pivoted handle members (101), (102), associated with a drive wheel (108) and a cutting wheel (111), which are brought into a position to nip the rim of a can when the handles are closed. The nip on the can is not lost when the handle members are partially opened to an intermediate position. As shown the cutting wheel is pivotally mounted on a rotatable carrier (112) in the handle (101) and has a projection (104) entering a recess (105) in the handle (102). The recess allows the handle (102) to move between the closed and intermediate positions without disturbing the carrier (112). Closing the handle (102) drives a drive shaft (110) carrying the wheel (108) through gearing (153), (154), (155). A one-way clutch spring (116) slips when the handles open so that repeated opening and closing of the handles cuts round the can.
