A conditioner for filtering and drying recyclable abrasive media, such as steel grit, garnet, or other abrasive media used for abrasive blasting operations for steel structures, such as bridges, tanks, and marine vessels that are being repainted. The conditioner may include a pre-classifier (e.g., a trommel) to separate or filter the abrasive media from larger debris that may be vacuumed with the abrasive media during resurfacing operations. A dryer may use radiation elements (e.g., infrared (IR) lamps) positioned above a conveyor (e.g., vibration tray) that moves the abrasive media beneath the radiation elements. Vacuum airflow may bypass the dryer except for a portion of the vacuum airflow used to remove moisture from the dryer while drying the abrasive media. The conditioner may have a drying portion or the entirety under negative pressures.

An attachment is described that is configured for attachment to an arm of a piece of heavy construction equipment. The attachment is configured to rotate a section of pipe during break out (i.e. disconnection or disassembly) from another section of pipe and/or make up (i.e. connection or assembly) with another section of pipe. The attachment is configured to break the joint or torque the joint to a predetermined torque value, unthread or thread pipe, and lift the pipe under the power of the heavy construction equipment.

Utensil for a whisk

A whisk wiper, a device having a plurality of intersecting slits angularly disposed in an asterisk type pattern, is mounted onto a whisk. It is pulled down over the loops, each loopguided through a slit. To clean off mixturestuck to the whiskthe whisk wiperis simply pulled off, the opposed edges of each slitwiping the loopsclean. An absorbent whisk wipercan also be used to scrub a whisk with deep slitsand compressed zig zag slit. The whisk wipercan be configured to be turned inside out to allow the slitsto be easily cleaned. The slits can be extended to create a compressed slitwhich can be further configured with zig zagor ribbedsides to enhance the cleaning action.

A portable hoist provides motorized hoisting and coincidental skinning of game animals. The hoist is preferably secured to an existing motor vehicle and is made using an adaptable segmented frame. A top frame portion includes an electric cable winch and may rotate to any orientation to position a hanging animal carcass where desired. A base portion of the hoist includes a pair of clamps which grip a hide portion of the animal. The winch is then used to simultaneously hoist and remove the hide of the animal.

A dummy hair clipper head, or dummy blade, which is a form conforming to those dimensions of a hair clipper's stationary blade which are necessary for its compatibility with attachment guide combs, is employed in a conduit comb which comprises a form configured to allow air or liquid to pass through the form and between the teeth of the attachment guide comb, whereby an attachment guide comb can be employed in vacuuming, drying, washing and treating hair. The form can be connected in turn to a bottle, air hose, or faucet to allow for the transmission of air or liquid through the comb. The use of the form also makes possible a variety of new uses for attachment guide combs including a scissor comb, razor comb, and comb organizer.

A whisk wiper, a device having a a plurality of intersecting slits angularly disposed in an asterisk type pattern, is mounted onto a whisk. It is pulled down over the loops, each loopguided through a slit. To clean off mixturestuck to the whiskthe whisk wiperis simply pulled off, the opposed edges of each slitwiping the loopsclean, the removed mixturecollected on the top side of the whisk wiperso it can be then returned to the mixing bowl. The whisk wiperis also a splash guard, support to hang the whiskon the edge of a bowl, keeps the whisks loops up off the surface when the whisk is set down and the outer edgecan be used to wipe out the mixing bowl. Additionally the whisk wiper can be configured to be turned inside out to allow the slits to be easily cleaned.

A two-piece grab arm housing for a grapple mechanism useable on a grapple attachment is described. The grab arm housing includes a lower arm housing with grab arms mounted to the lower arm housing, and an upper arm housing mounted to the lower arm housing. The upper arm housing and the lower arm housing are movable relative to one another in an x-direction and are moveable together in a y-direction perpendicular to the x-direction. In addition, the upper arm housing includes an opening through which a main beam of the grapple attachment can extend.

A dummy hair clipper head, or dummy blade, which is a form conforming to those dimensions of a hair clipper's stationary blade which are necessary for its compatibility with attachment guide combs, is employed in an attachment guide comb organizer which comprises a plurality of interconnected forms, whereby a plurality of attachment guide combs can be stored and organized. By interconnecting the forms with either a rigid, contoured or flexible means, with the options of placing them within a container and of making them releasable, the organization and storage of a set of attachment guide combs can be customized. For the purposes of storage the form can be flexible and have a reduced structure from that of the stationary blade. The use of the form also makes possible a variety of new uses for attachment guide combs including a scissor comb, razor comb, and conduit comb.

A whisk wiper, a device having a flexible central portion defining a plurality of intersecting slitsangularly disposed in an asterisk type pattern, for mounting onto a whiskhaving angularly disposed loops. It is pulled down over the loops, each loopguided through a slit. To clean off mixturestuck to the whiskthe whisk wiperis simply pulled off, the opposed edges of each slitfunctioning as squeegees, wiping the loopsclean, the removed mixturecollected on the top side of the whisk wiperso it can be then returned to the mixing bowl. Additionally the whisk wiperis a splash guard, support to hang the whiskon the edge of a mixing bowl, keeps the whisk's loopsup off the surface when the whiskis set down and the outer edgecan be used to wipe out the mixing bowl
