A joint connects a first portion of a tool to a second portion of the tool. The joint comprises a first elongated portion, a second elongated portion, and a hub. The first elongated portion is configured to couple to the first portion of the tool and includes a first joint end. The second elongated portion is configured to couple to the second portion of the tool and includes a second joint end with a plurality of cavities formed therein. The hub is positioned between the first joint end and the second joint end and is shiftable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The hub includes a projection that is operable to extend into one of the cavities when in the locked position and shift out of the cavities when in the unlocked position.

A double-handle snow shovel includes a snow shovel-head apparatus, an extension tube, a support shaft, a bend shaft, and a handle. The support and bend shaft are collectively optimized leverage to apply pressure to accumulated snow, without having to bend over. The bend shaft includes a first elongated section, a second elongated section, and a bend section as the bend shaft is formed into a V-shaped body. The first elongated section is terminally connected to a first shaft end of the support shaft. The second elongated section is terminally connected to a second shaft end of the support shaft. The first and second elongated sections are terminally connected to each other by the bend section, opposite the support shaft. The first shaft end is mounted to the snow shovel-head apparatus by the extension tube. The second shaft end is adjacently connected with the handle that engages with the user.

An auxiliary handle attachment includes a first channel member comprising a first channel closed side along a tool axis to receive an elongated shaft of a tool along the tool axis; a first clamp structure attached to the first channel member to clamp the elongated shaft of the tool to the first channel closed side; a body transverse to the tool axis; and a handle that extends from the body.

A multipurpose utility attachment device for equipping a variety of tools to an adjustable shaft includes a grip. The grip is a handle and has a flat end. A telescopic shaft comprises a first portion, a second portion, and a pair of spring pins. A proximal end of the first portion is coupled to the flat end of the grip. The second portion is nested within the first portion. The second portion can adjust the length of the telescopic shaft by moving within the first portion. A pair of spring pins is positioned within the second portion and secures the second portion in a fixed length relative to the first portion. A second spring pin is used for securing a utility attachment to the telescopic shaft. The utility attachment can be a variety of wilderness survival tools. A hammock attachment can be used by a pair of telescopic shafts.

A customizable shovel, including a telescopic assembly, including a first shaft section, a second shaft section movably disposed within a first end of the first shaft section, a plurality of adjustment buttons disposed on at least a portion of the first shaft section to extend the second shaft section from retracted to away from the first shaft section in response to depressing one of the plurality of adjustment buttons, a socket disposed on a second end of the second shaft section, and a blade connected to the socket to receive at least one item therein, an attachment assembly to removably connect to the blade, and a connecting assembly disposed on at least a portion of the attachment assembly to lock the attachment assembly to the telescopic assembly in a first position and unlock the attachment assembly from the telescopic assembly in a second position.

The present invention relates to a method of treating patients who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with peripheral blood mobilized stem cells for hematological malignancies and for whom the risk for severe acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) is considerable.

An offset connector subdivides a long, slender tool or implement handle. The offset connector may be provided with one or more unitary or replaceable grips. The additional grips serve as secondary or tertiary hand holds that enable more adaptable and capable ergonomic manipulation of the tool or implement. The offset connector is inserted intermediate between a primary handle grip and the tool or implement head, thereby subdividing the long slender tool or implement handle into at least two separate handle segments. Each handle segment is inserted into a handle segment receiver socket, and is affixed therein using a bolt, screw, or other fastener that is longitudinally co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the handle segment. Some embodiments establish fixed spacing between the primary handle, secondary handle, and implement. Other embodiments provide variable spacing therebetween.

The present invention relates to a shovel device designed to clean trenches made by trenching machines. The shovel is also configured to easily dig inside trenches easily. The shovel tool includes an elongated handle and a shovel head attached to the elongated handle. The shovel head includes a raised aft end, a front edge, and a pair of opposing raised side surfaces. The shovel head having a concave shape raising upwards from the center towards the opposing raised side surfaces. The raised side surfaces and the raised aft end supports the soil and other materials placed in the shovel head and prevents same from falling out. The shovel head includes a width from about 2 inches to about 6 inches, thereby enabling easy operation of the tool within trenches made by trenching machines.
