Tweezers Device
A tweezers device is provided having a first leg, a second leg, and a rotating shaft to rotatably connect the first leg and the second leg. A leaf spring biases the first leg and the second leg in a rotating direction of the rotating shaft, working to push away the end of the first leg and the second leg. An opening width-adjusting member is provided to adjust an acceptable opening width between the end of the first leg and the second leg by the rotation of a width-adjusting wheel. The width-adjusting wheel is positioned distally to the rotating shaft, and is rotatable on the axis along the opening direction of the first leg and the second leg.

Protective interface device with complementary case, stand and satchel
The invention relates to a sanitary interface device that provides safety and mitigates risk associated with the spread of disease and illness (e.g., viruses) resulting from human contact with potentially contaminated objects such as a handle. The interface device includes a rigid, U-shaped body having a curved portion and a pair of legs projecting therefrom. The curved portion interfaces with the potentially contaminated handle, while the pair of legs shield a user's hands from the handle. The interface device can be portable and reusable, while being adapted for use as part of a kit which could also include accessories, such as a case, stand and/or satchel.

REMOVABLE ONE-PIECE COOKWARE HANDLE
The handle includes first and second spaced sets of prongs. Each of the prong sets has a first prong and a second prong spaced from the first prong a distance sufficient to receive the cookware rim therebetween. The prongs in each of the prong sets diverge as the prongs progress away from the cookware body. A locking mechanism is situated between the prong sets for engaging the cookware rim to removably secure the handle to the cookware. The locking mechanism includes a spring-loaded pin adapted to be received in an opening in the cookware rim. The pin is situated on the unattached end of a leaf spring prong extending from the body of the handle. The pin has an inclined surface which facilitates the insertion of the pin into the opening in the cookware rim to lock the handle to the cookware. The handle is formed of a single piece of material and may be sold in combination with the cookware or separately.

JEWELRY OPENING DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPENING A JEWELRY FASTENER
There is provided a jewelry opening device that can open a jewelry fastener in a careful manner, and only to a desired extent. The jewelry opening device is such that it can maintain a jewelry fastener in an open position without having to maintain a hand grip on the device. Thus, a user can manipulate the jewelry fastener, by opening and then closing the jewelry fastener more easily, and without having to worry about maintaining a hand grip on the device. The device contains a unique biasing element which provides for a biasing of the elongate members of the device towards each other in a controlled and consistent manner such that it can be used for many differently sized jewelry fasteners.

Pocket insert removal tool and method
An inventive tool enables easy removal of label media from tight spaces, such as removal of a spine or cover label from the label pocket of a notebook binder. The tool is generally flat, skinny, and long and has an adhesive capture end and a handle end. The adhesive capture end utilizes a low- to medium-tack pressure sensitive adhesive to capture the entrapped label media when the tool is inserted into the pocket. Modes of providing a pressure sensitive adhesive end include spray application and double- and single-coated films and other media.
