An active footwear suspension system is disclosed. The footwear system provides dynamic suspension using at least one or more variable resistance beams. At least one or more VRB from an anchor plate positioned forward of and/or aft of an arch section of the footwear, thus providing selectable suspension to the wearer. The selected rotation of the VRBs from a first position to a second position provides customized suspension between a minimum resistance to a maximum resistance per zone.

A hand tool includes a tool handle and a tool head having a body portion, with the handle secured to a back support plate portion which connects normal relative to the back plate portion, a first plate portion extending from a first side of the back plate portion having a toothed edge and a second plate portion extending from a second side of the back plate portion having a level edge, wherein each of the plate portions extend at an angle of from between 5 to 45 degrees relative to the back support plate portion.

This disclosure relates to a raking device, and in some implementations, a detachable rake head for raking sand traps and its method of use. The raking device may be configured to be releasably attached to a supporting handle (e.g., a broom handle, 5 golf club, golf ball retriever, or other rod-typed structure).

A pneumatic lawn level may leverage a gas strut which may apply down force to the base of the level to inhibit free motion backward toward the user. This may prevent soil and debris from becoming projectiles as the user moves the level base back and forth in front of them. In addition, the pneumatic lawn level may use the gas strut to provide an auto-retracting feature for storage. Further, addition of the gas strut may provide a joint that may give greater stability to the overall structure of the pneumatic lawn level. Moreover, the pneumatic lawn level may reduce the amount of force and effort needed to level the ground properly due to the gas strut's application of pressure on the level base.

A double-handle apparatus includes a cleaning apparatus, a primary support shaft, a secondary support shaft, and a handle. The primary support shaft, which functions similar to traditional handle shaft, includes a shaft body and a three-way connector section. A first shaft end of the shaft body is concentrically mounted within a mounting body of the cleaning apparatus. A second shaft end of the shaft body is concentrically integrated to a second connector section of the three-way connector, wherein the shaft body can be a straight or curved singular body, a straight telescopic body, or a straight modular body. The handle is adjacently connected to a first connector section of the three-way connector. The secondary support shaft is concentrically integrated to a third connector section of the three-way connector.

Hand tools having a hand guard for protecting a user's working hand are provided. In one embodiment, the hand tool may be a paint roller that includes a roller assembly having a proximal end and an opposite distal end, and a hand guard attached to the roller assembly. The roller assembly may include a handle portion extending from the proximal end of the roller assembly, and a support portion extending from the distal end of the roller assembly to the handle portion. The support portion may include a support arm assembly attached to the handle portion and a cover support positioned at the distal end of the roller assembly and rotatably attached to the support arm assembly. The hand guard may be positioned over a top surface of the handle portion and may include a plurality of walls defining an interior space configured to receive a user's hand therein.

A handle for a tool that provides multiple gripping locations for a user to grasp and manipulate the tool. The handle includes a main shaft, a first extension that extends outward from a first location along the main shaft, and a second extension that extends outward from a second location along the main shaft. The handle provides multiple gripping locations along one or more of the main shaft, the first extension, and the second extension.
