An illuminating device is provided for placement on a shaft of a manual rotary hand tool having a handle at a first end thereof and a workpiece-engaging adaptation at a second end thereof. The device has a body with a central aperture therethrough, at least one light source, an energy source for causing the light source to be illuminated and a switch to selectively connect or disconnect the energy source from the light source. The central aperture has an inner diameter adapted to permit the body to slide freely on the shaft. The at least one light source is aimed in the body to direct the light provided essentially coaxially with the central aperture to the workpiece-engaging shaft end. In preferred embodiments, the device uses at least two light sources. In some embodiments, an annular lens/reflector may be used to enhance the illumination.

A method and apparatus for securing a cut tree is presented. A tree stand has a frustro conical side wall connected to a base at a bottom thereof, and having an aperture at the top. The aperture communicates with the receptacle adapted for receiving a tree trunk. An opening in the frustro conical side wall allows the introduction of water into a cavity defined by such side wall. A further opening in the receptacle communicates with the cavity, allowing water to enter therein and surround a tree trunk received thereby. Securement of the tree trunk within the receptacle is achieved by the introduction of a closed cell foam introduced about the tree trunk within the receptacle, forming a frustro conical ring thereabout.

Method and apparatus for holding cut trees

Saving fuel in the operation of a motor vehicle by providing an increased resistance to depression of a gas pedal at increased velocities in a predetermined speed range from a lower velocity up to a predetermined upper velocity. A piston is urged against the pedal by a spring in a cylinder. Adjustments in vacuum in the cylinder are utilized to adjust the spring force constituting the resistance to pedal depression of the piston.
