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.

An apparatus for assisted buckle release employing a generally C-shaped, V-shaped, or U-shaped assistive device adapted to depress a buckle's release button, such as a button typical of a child car seat restraint harness, and thereby assist in unlocking the buckle.

A valve extension tool is configured to operate a hand wheel of a valve. The valve extension tool includes a handle configured for operation by a first operator and a pipe assembly connected to the handle. The pipe assembly includes a proximal pipe segment connected to the handle, a crank connected to the proximal pipe segment and configured for operation by a second operator, and a distal pipe segment connected to the crank. In addition, the valve extension tool includes a front pipe segment connected to the distal pipe segment of the pipe assembly. Further, the valve extension tool includes a joint connected to the front pipe segment, wherein the joint is configured to engage a hand wheel of a valve.

A device for reducing direct contact between a person's hand and an object in their environment. The device is a low touch utensil comprising a body with a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral wall extending therebetween. A handle provided on the body is grasped in a single hand of a user. The user manipulates the body to bring at least one region of the utensil's body into contact with a surface of an object in their environment, particularly a surface the user might think is contaminated with viruses, bacteria or other substances. The user manipulates the body to apply a pushing force on the object or a pulling force on the object in order to move the object, activate a function of the object, or deactivate a function of the object. The contact region on the body may be a specially configured region of the peripheral wall.

Tweezers 8 are provided with a pair of resilient gripping sections 80 and 81 and include an elliptic projection 85 restricting movement in a gripping direction provided on the inside in substantially the center in a longitudinal direction of the other-side gripping section 81. Preferably, a one-side gripping surface 80a of the one-side gripping section 80 is a plane, and the other-side gripping surface 81a of the other-side gripping section 81 is a reduction plane formed by cutting out a rear end side of an opposing plane symmetrically formed in the plane. The one-side gripping section 80 preferably includes a recess 80c in a direction in which a gripping interval narrows from a rear end side in a longitudinal direction toward a tip side. It is preferable that an engaging recess 81c be formed on an opposite side of the one-side gripping section 80 including the projection 85.

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.

A storage case for holding artificial lash extensions includes a storage base. The storage base includes a first outer sidewall having first curved surface, and a first plurality of indentations extending inward from the first curved surface of the first outer sidewall. Each indentation of the first plurality of indentations is substantially flat and extends inward from the first curved surface. Each indentation of the first plurality of indentations is designed to house an artificial lash extension of the artificial lash extensions.

A grasping tool (10) has a pair of elongate arms (20) attached via a hinge element (26). The elongate arms (20) provide gripping surfaces (28) for grasping an item therebetween. A finger engagement element (30) extends from each of the elongate arms, (20) spaced a distance from the proximal end (22). Each elongate arm (20) is generally disposed on a first axis, and each finger engagement element (30) is disposed around a second axis, such that the second axis is approximately parallel to and located below the first axis, such that the first and second axes are spaced a distance such that the pair of elongate arms (20) are positioned above the fingers of the user when the user's fingers are positioned through the finger engagement elements (30).
