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 personal defense device arranged to self-orient and enable accurate aim when gripped by a user is provided. The device has a body including upper and lower regions. The upper region includes a transverse index finger loop, a front portion, a rear portion with a storage cavity for a repellant spray container, a spray opening through the upper region, a thumb support, and a top surface. The top surface is above and perpendicular to the transverse loop, which forms an extended sightline for aiming at a potential target. The lower region includes a grip handle providing multi-finger grip below the index finger transverse loop. The transverse loop, multi-finger grip handle and thumb support self-orient the device in the user's hand, and the top surface sightline enables rapid aiming. The upper region front portion can include a contact feature for defensive contact with an attacker and DNA collection.

According to one aspect, a hand assist device may be configured for use with an endoscope. The hand assist device may comprise a body configured to removably couple to a handle of the endoscope. The body may comprise a recess configured to receive the handle of the endoscope. The recess may extend from a proximal end of the body to a distal end of the body. The body may also comprise a palm support portion and a finger support portion proximal to the palm support portion. The body may further comprise a base support portion distal to the palm support portion.

The present invention surrounds to a ratchet apparatus, system and use thereof. The invention is presented to provide additional mechanical advantage and added angular engagement of a ratcheting wrench. In particular the present invention provides increased torque and angular engagement within a compact space without requiring an extended handle, wherein an extended handle reduces portability and further restricts access and movement within confined spaces.

An apparatus for cleaning a controlled and regulated equipment, wherein the apparatus comprises a tool handle including a first handle portion removably connected to a second handle portion and a tool head frame pivotably connected to the second handle portion. The tool head frame further comprises a leading edge opposite a trailing edge and a first side edge opposite a parallel second side edge disposed between the leading edge and the trailing edge respectively wherein the leading edge and the trailing edge are non-parallel to each other—forming a trapezoidal shaped tool head frame. A tray including at least one compartment, a pad assembly and a cleaning solution wherein the pad assembly and the cleaning solution are disposed in the at least one compartment is provided. The pad assembly is movable within the at least one compartment between a first position and a second position so that the tool head frame is hands-free attachable to the pad assembly in the first position or second position and the tool head frame is hands-free detachable from the pad assembly in the second position.

A modular flexible grip for releasably attaching to at least a part of a hair removal device. The grip includes a flexible body portion having a body portion opening and a side wall in the opening defining a body cavity. The grip is characterized by a height greater than or equal to 50 mm. The grip is configured for releasably attaching to the least a part of a hair removal device.

A grout float and a handle for use with the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the grout float, the handle is secured to a blade, which may be encased with a pliable pad. The handle includes two mounting noses. Each of the two mounting noses includes a pair of lateral sidewalls traversing lateral surfaces of the handle and burgeoning downwardly. The lateral sidewalls transfer force from the handle to the blade upon the pliable pad of the grout float angularly contacting a work surface. A gripping portion of the handle located between the two mounting noses may having a non-linear profile.

A sanitary sleeve comprising a body configured to be grasped by a hand of a user, the body extending from a first end toward a second end along an axis, the body including a plurality of layers configured to be removed one at a time, and the plurality of layers including at least a first layer and a second layer, and wherein removal of the first layer of the plurality of layers exposes the second layer of the plurality of layers.
