The nozzle member has a free end and a plurality of nozzle apertures formed proximate the free end. The tank comprises: (i) a bottomed cylindrical body having an open top end and a bottom end, where the bottom end has a water supply opening; (ii) a water supply cover pivotally supported on the bottom end for opening and closing the water supply opening; and (iii) a gutter formed in an inner surface of the water supply cover for introducing the washing water flowing downward into the water supply opening while the water supply cover is open.

An electric stapler is automatically adjustable with regard to the stapling position and the stapling operation. The electric stapler consists of a switch lever limiting and detecting the insertion of papers to be stapled, a switch lever adjuster for adjusting the position of the switch lever, and an AC-DC converter mounted on a base for the stapler.

An electrically operated, hand-held tier for tying a length of fishline to a fishhook comprises a tying wheel mounted rotatably on a bearing boss for rotation in one direction. The tying wheel has an anchoring member secured thereto for holding releaseably one end portion of the fishline after the fishline has been passed through the bearing boss. One end of a fishhook opposite to its sharp point is adapted to be received in coaxial relation to the bearing boss and has a number of turns of the fishline formed thereon when the tying wheel is rotated several times thereabout. The rotation of the tying wheel is effective to form a knot on the fishline which is necessary to secure the fishhook to the fishline.
