Rotatable handles and related methods are disclosed herein. In one form, the handle has a clip member that fits around a cylindrical object and a handle. The clip member includes a track that guides rotation of the handle about a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical object. The handle includes an actuator that operates a braking member which comprises a braking surface that is movable into and out of contact with the track. When the braking surface is out of contact the track, the handle is movable relative to the track when permitting the handle to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical object. Rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis of the handle operates the actuator, causing the braking surface to move into and out of contact with the track. Various methods are also disclosed herein with respect to the rotatable handle.

A wrench extender includes an extension member and a retaining member. The extension member has a wrench supporting base with a supporting face and first and second sides adjacent to the supporting face and respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the supporting face. The wrench supporting base is provided with a first holding portion arranged on the supporting face and adjacent to the first side, and a second holding portion arranged on the supporting face and adjacent to the second side. The retaining member is arranged on the wrench supporting base to retain a wrench hold by the wrench supporting base.

The present disclosure is a screwdriver. A rotating seat includes a turntable and a plurality of locking blocks. A driving rod set includes a driving rod and a ratchet gear, and the ratchet gear is located in the turntable. A retaining set includes a tooth block and an elastic piece. The tooth block includes a plurality of teeth, and the elastic piece abuts a driving plate and the tooth block. A driving seat set includes a driving seat and a positioning set, and the positioning set includes a spring and a positioning piece. A locking block is inserted between the tooth block and the ratchet gear, so that the locking tooth is locked or separated from the ratchet gear.

An ice auger handle attachment assembly that includes a first bushing with a recess on the end side for a first pin of a handle, a second bushing with two symmetrical flat side surfaces made on the part of the length of the second bushing and having arcuate recesses that form stops. The second bushing partially covers the first bushing and is attached thereto by means of a stud fixed on the end of the handle. Further, a blocking element and the second pin pass through a slot in the second bushing and a hole in the stud. A spring is mounted on the stud between the first and second bushings, and a fork-shaped lever covering the second bushing in the area of the flat side surfaces and hinged thereon by means of the second pin.

The present invention relates to an open-close handheld apparatus and a method of adjustment of the angle between the handheld portions thereof. The open-close handheld apparatus includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes a first clamping portion and a first handheld portion. The second member includes a second clamping portion and a second handheld portion. The first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are rotatably and movably connected via a first axle pin. The first clamping portion and the second clamping portion open and close relative to each other, the plane in which the open-close path thereof is located is an open-close plane. The first handheld portion is rotatably connected to the first clamping portion. The plane in which the rotation path of the first handheld portion is located is the same as or parallel to the open-close plane. A locking arrangement is provided at the joint between the first handheld portion and the first clamping portion, used for locking or unlocking the first handheld portion and the first clamping portion.

Compositions, methods and kits are provided for treating complement related disorders in a subject with protein in combination having protein fusions of at least two of a CD46 protein, a CD55 protein and a CD59 protein or with a recombinant chimeric protein having at least two of a CD46 protein, a CD55 protein and a CD59 protein or with nucleic acids encoding these proteins. The composition negatively modulates classical and alternative complement pathways thereby treating complement related disorder such as macular degeneration, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, inflammatory bowel disease, thyroiditis, cryoglobulinaemia, fetal loss, organ graft rejection, cancer, etc.

A folding handle for a tool has a main handle having a tool head, a handle extension rotatably connected to the main handle, the handle extension rotatable between a first extended position and a second folded position relative to the main handle, and a latching mechanism having a locking pin and an actuator connected to the locking pin and movable between a first position in which the locking pin engages the handle extension, preventing movement of the handle extension relative to the main handle, and a second position in which the locking pin is disengaged from the handle extension, allowing movement of the handle extension relative to the main handle. A tool may have first and second folding handles which are movably connected to one another.

A reconfigurable brush includes an elongated brush head extending between brush-head first and second ends and a brush handle extending between handle proximate and distal ends. The brush-head first end is mounted to the handle distal end for rotation about a brush-head rotation axis between opposed first and second angular orientations and axial displacement along the brush-head rotation axis between opposed axial first and second positions. The first and second angular orientations are defined such that the brush-head second end is disposed, respectively, (i) rearwardly of the brush-head first end and the handle distal end and (ii) forwardly of the brush-head first end and the handle distal end. The axial first and second positions correspond to the handle being, respectively, (a) locked in one of the first and second angular orientations and (b) unlocked to allow rotation between the opposed first and second angular orientations.
