The tool for installing fitted bed sheets is an apparatus that facilitates the wrapping of a bed sheet around a corner of a mattress with minimal effort. The apparatus serves as an extension of the user's hand and applies the necessary force onto the elastic band of the bed sheet in the correct direction. The apparatus includes a handle, a sheet-corner brace, a first anchor, a second anchor, a sheet-pressing panel, and a tucking lip. The tucking lip is connected adjacent to the first brace end of the sheet-corner brace and the sheet-pressing panel is connected adjacent to the second brace end of the sheet-corner brace. The handle is connected onto the sheet-pressing panel, opposite to the sheet-corner brace. The first anchor is connected adjacent to the sheet-corner brace. The second anchor is connected adjacent to the sheet-corner brace, opposite to the first anchor.

A weather window stop device for a vehicle during a window regulator failure. The weather window stop device includes at least one alloy strap including a first end, a second end, a plurality of bends, and a plurality of fasteners, wherein the device is configured to be removably affixable to a vehicle window to provide a securing means in the event of a window regulator failure.

A bending tool for shortening the length of a wastegate actuator arm (or linkage) of a turbocharger system of an automobile by applying or otherwise creating a bend or dent in a wastegate actuator arm to repair a leaky wastegate, and a method of repairing a leaky wastegate valve of a turbocharger system of an automobile without disassembling or removing components of the turbocharger system.

A hand held tool (10, 60, 70) for use by an optician in bending the temples (120) of a pair of eyeglasses includes an elongated handle portion (12, 62, 72) capable of being held in the palm of the optician's hand. A mandrel including a convexly formed anvil (14, 64, 74) with a nonslip upper surface (67, 77a) extends from a first end of the handle portion. A concavely formed thumb recess (16, 66, 76) is located adjacent the first end of the handle portion and is located opposite the anvil (14, 64, 74). The optician's thumb (100) fits within the recess when the handle portion is being held. The free end (110) of an eyeglass temple is placed over the mandrel (14, 64, 74) and is bent over the mandrel by the optician.

A tray bender allows a user to easily and efficiently bend a tubing tray or similar item. The tray bender includes a shaft and a tray-bending head. The shaft is an elongated, tubular structure which acts as a gripping element of the tray bender. The tray-bending head is a specifically designed structure which is used to engage the tray bender with a tubing tray or similar item. The user can apply an input force onto the end of the shaft opposite to the tray-bending head in order to provide a torque force to bend a tubing tray or similar. The tray-bending head is designed with prong-like structures with a gap space in between each prong-like structure to receive a tubing tray or similar item.

Embodiments disclosed herein include devices and methods for gripping and stripping an electrical wire. The tool may include a body, having a first portion with a curved tip, and a second portion. The tool may also include a closing mechanism mounted on the body, and an elongated member having a protruding tip and coupled to the closing mechanism. The elongated member can slidably move towards the second portion, causing the protruding tip to move away from to the curved tip, with respect to movement of the closing mechanism for receiving at least a portion of an electrical wire inserted into the opening, or move towards the first portion, causing the protruding tip to move toward the curved tip, with respect to another movement of the closing mechanism for gripping the received portion of the electrical wire.

A selectively flexible extension tool includes a line assembly; and a plurality of sequentially arranged links, the line assembly operable with the plurality of sequentially arranged links to move the plurality of sequentially arranged links between a slacked position and a tensioned position, the plurality of sequentially arranged links spaced from one another when in the slacked position to allow the plurality of sequentially arranged links to pivotably move relative to one another, the plurality of sequentially arranged links pressed against one another when in the tensioned position to rigidly fix the plurality of sequentially arranged links to one another.
