The device consists of a shaft with a detachable brush head. The brush head is a new design incorporating the utility of an expandable self adjusting area that yields a complete sample of the endocervix and exocervix regardless of varying individual anatomy. The brush head has protrusions disposed at strategic positions with flat surface collection areas. A ledge with protrusions samples the exocervical area and a middle portion samples the endocervical area. The middle portion automatically elongates from approximately 2 cm to 5.5 cm as to adjust to individual anatomies as the brush head is inserted into the cervical canal. The brush head is matched to a special collection container that permits the brush head to be detached and deposited into the container without the handling of the brush/head area. The special conical insert within the container automatically orients brush head for passage through horizontal slot at bottom of insert without operator's need to manually align. In this fashion the sampled cellular material can be completely, safely, and securely transported for laboratory evaluation.

A scoring apparatus for placing a scoring line on a back surface of a piece of vinyl or rubber cove molding, in order to easily conform the molding about sharp corners. The scoring apparatus uses a frame for pivotally supporting a router between an inoperative position and a work engaging position. The router is mounted on a base that slides within a slot in the frame so that it can be drawn across the cove molding to provide the scoring line.

A planer assembly is mounted upon a main frame. The planer assembly has a set of blades installed upon a rotable drum. The blades have tips containing deposits of material which abrades hardened pavement. The planer assembly is mounted upon the main frame in a manner that allows the weight of the frame and other components to bear down upon the blade assembly. As the drum rotates, the blades grind paving material from the paved surface. The depth of grinding, or planing, is controlled by the distance between the blade assembly and the surface to be planed. The distance between the blade assembly and the surface to be planed is determined by the distance that is maintained between the frame and the surface to be planed. The distance between the frame and the surface to be planed is adjusted by turning a stationary threaded rod which engages a threaded block mounted upon the axle frame of wheels of the main frame. The axle frame is pivotally mounted to the main frame. Turning of the threaded rod moves the threaded block along the length of the rod causing the axle frame to change its angular relationship with respect to the frame.
