A holder for supporting a cleaning utensil. One end of the holder is configured for attachment to a horizontal surface adjacent to the vertical sink wall. The other end can be cantilevered over the sink basin and configured to receive a utensil. The holder can swivel to reposition the cantilevered end of the holder.

A lightweight, handheld screen trimmer () which aids in trimming excess screen () and also in removing, tucking in, and trimming spline (). The screen trimmer () assists in several tasks relating to removing, replacing and installing screening () in a screen frame ().

A manually operable tool and method of using the tool to open blisters on a blister pack. The tool includes a body defining a laterally extending guideway of b-shaped cross-section, and a sharp with a laterally extending cutting edge which extends transversely into the guideway from a sidewall without contacting the opposite sidewall, thereby leaving a transverse gap between the sharp and the second sidewall. The method involves the step of laterally sliding a laterally aligned blister pack through the guideway and out through the second end, whereby the cutting edge contacts and cuts through an end of the blisters slid past the cutting edge without cutting completely through the blister pack.

A portable circuit interrupter shutoff testing device and method, including a high current switch controlled by a timing circuit that allows current to flow through the switch and a small series resistance (in order to trip the instantaneous-trip function of the interrupter, as opposed to the overload-trip) for a short time period relative to the sine wave of the electrical power. A button activates the timing circuit which in turn activates the switch and current flows limited by the internal resistor of the device. By limiting the on time of the device to one or a few half cycles, the user can test if the circuit interrupter responds as quickly as specified by the manufacturer. A method includes receiving a stimulation indication, and selectively connecting an electrical load to wires connected to the circuit interrupter, wherein the electrical load is sufficient to trigger the instantaneous-trip function of the circuit-interrupter.

A tuner holder for stringed instruments. A first embodiment includes (i) a strut, (ii) a shelf extending substantially perpendicular in a first longitudinal direction from the distal edge of the strut, (iii) a hook extending in a second longitudinal direction from the proximal edge of the strut, and (iv) a means for securing a tuner to the holder. A second embodiment includes (i) an enclosure defining a retention chamber with a first access opening into the retention chamber through the top of the enclosure and a second access opening into the retention chamber through the front of the enclosure, and (ii) a hook longitudinally extending from the back of the enclosure away from the retention chamber. A third embodiment of the invention includes (i) a strut, (ii) a connection element effective for holding a tuner and pivotally attached to the strut proximate the distal end of the strut for pivoting about a lateral axis as between at least a storage position and a tuning position, and (iii) a hook extending in a second longitudinal direction from the proximal edge of the strut. A fourth embodiment of the invention is an assembly which includes (i) a tuner housing, and (ii) a hook extending from the bottom wall of the housing.

Stringed instrument tuner holder

An electronic tuner for tuning a musical instrument has a tuner housing in which electronic circuitry for tuning the instrument is situated, and a multi-positional and multi-functional bracket which is reciprocatingly slidable and pivotally mounted on the tuner housing. The bracket is positionable in a closed position, where it rests closely against the tuner housing, as a stand, where it supports the electronic tuner in an upright or a slightly angled position, and in a position where the electronic tuner may be suspended from the musical instrument being tuned.
