An adjustable gripping assembly having a first or holding end with a trigger assembly rotatably held therein and connected to a wind assembly having a flexible, non-resilient link held by one end therein for operating a pair of gripping elements, movably mounted on a distal end of an adjustable, multipart hollow body. The trigger assembly including a trigger lock thereon and the multipart body including telescoping locking element mounted on the telescoping joints to control adjustment of the length of the assembly when the portions of the multipart body are moved with respect to each other. And, a pivot joint formed on an outer end of the multipart body, adjacent the pair of gripping elements to allow the gripping elements to be pivoted to different angles on the outer end upon release of a locking element held in the pivot joint.

An end effector for installing pre-molded seal caps onto fasteners comprises a cap-dispenser assembly and a cap-placement assembly. The cap-placement assembly comprises a main housing and a plunger mechanism, comprising an outer plunger housing and an inner gripper. The inner gripper is rotatable relative to the outer plunger housing between a cap-retaining configuration and a cap-releasing configuration. The plunger mechanism is selectively translatable from an extended position to a retracted position and from the retracted position to the extended position. The main housing is selectively rotatable from a cap-receiving position, in which the plunger mechanism is aligned with the seal-cap-delivery-sleeve central axis, to a cap-installing position, in which the main housing is angularly displaced from the cap-receiving position, and from the cap-installing position to the cap-receiving position.

The present disclosure relates to polishing tools and, more particularly, to hand polishing fixtures and methods of use. The structure includes: at least one hand grip which includes a shape accommodating a palm of an operator's hand; and a chuck having an interior space structured to fix a sample within the chuck and to extend below an underside surface of the at least one hand grip.

A joint-disconnecting tool includes a clamp and a controller. The clamp includes a case, two branches, a pin and two linking elements. Each of the branches includes a lever extending in the case and a jaw extending out of the case. The pin connects the levers to the case. Each of the linking elements includes an end pivotally connected to one of the levers in the case. The controller includes two handles, a wire, a sheath and a spring. The handles are pivotally connected to each other. The wire includes an end connected to one of the handles and another end connected to another end of each of the linking elements. The sheath wraps the wire except for the ends. The sheath includes an end abutted against another one of the handles and another end abutted against the case. The spring tends to push the linking elements from the case.

A light bulb remover extracts a broken light bulb from a socket of a high-hat light fixture. The light bulb remover has an extension pole and an extractor head attached to the extension pole. The extractor head has a guide which defines an outer circumference of the extractor head and a bulb extractor configured for engaging in a base of the broken light bulb and creating a friction connection with the base of the light bulb. The bulb extractor is surrounded by the guide, and the guide has a diameter being less than a diameter of the high-hat light fixture and dimensioned so that when the light bulb remover is disposed within the high-hat light fixture the bulb extractor is self-aligned with a middle area of the base of the broken light bulb.
