A tool for forming flashing is disclosed. The tool includes an elongate rod member, a handle member disposed on a first end of the rod member, and a spade member on a second end of the rod member opposite the first end, wherein the spade member includes first and second spades symmetrically disposed and having a gap therebetween.

The present invention relates to a workbench, and respective operating and manufacturing methods, for the cold intervention, folding, bending or deformation of metal plates or sheets, the constructive and functional features of which provide a solution to achieve an optimal balance between power and flexibility, such that it allows performing custom works on metal plates or sheets under power conditions that exceed human capacity. In that sense, the workbench provides a work area with multiple actuation and power options, constituting a plethora of possible combinations for the intervention, folding, bending, twisting or deformation of metal sheets of different shapes.

The present disclosure relates to an electrified vehicle with a battery protection device and a corresponding method. An example electrified vehicle includes a battery protection device with a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The first and second housing portions are each made of a sandwich structure and exhibit U-shaped profiles. The U-shaped profiles of the first and second housing portions face one another to provide an internal cavity.

A method of manufacturing a fishing jig hook allows a user to create a custom fishing jig hook that attracts fish. A user can attract specific fish by using jigs that mimic the appearances of the smaller bait fish that the target fish usually consumes. The fishing jig produced is reusable, thus reducing waste due to extended periods of fishing. Further, the fishing jig is bent to provide a hydrodynamic shape. The formed apparatus provides a malleable disk, a fishing jig hook, a metal-cutting tool, a folding rod, a ruler, a marker, a metal-puncturing tool, and at least one ornament. These tools include the necessary jig lure material required as well as the tools needed to subsequently shape that material.

(i) Smartcards (SC) manufactured from a web of metal inlays (MI; FIGS. 12-14) with the coupling frame (CF) forming the metal card body (MCB) supported by metal struts (struts). In the production of smartcards having a coupling frame (CF) with a slit (S), the slit may form part of graphic elements (FIGS. 10-12). (ii) Printing and coating techniques may be used to camouflage the slit (FIGS. 9A-9D). (iii) Surface currents may be collected from one location in a card body (CB) and transported to another location (FIGS. 15AB). A flexible circuit (FC) may be connected to termination points (TP) across the slit (S), or may couple via a patch antenna (PA) with the slit (S). The flexible circuit may couple, via an antenna structure (AS) with the module antenna (MA) of a transponder chip module (TCM).
