A log lifting device for raising a log into a cutting position includes a cylinder, a handle, and a wedge. The handle is coupled to and extends from the cylinder equally distant from opposing ends of the cylinder. The wedge is coupled to and extends from the cylinder proximate to the handle. The wedge is substantially perpendicular to the handle. The wedge is configured to be positioned beneath a felled log, positioning a user to grasp and pull on the handle to rotate the cylinder to apply a lifting force to the log so that the log is supported upon the handle above a surface. The log thus is positioned to be safely cut by the user using a chain saw, or other log cutting implement.

A cleaning device having a cleaning head assembly and a handle assembly is provided. The assemblies are removably attached to one another by a locking mechanism that includes a female attachment portion having a receptacle and being affixed to a cleaning head, and a male attachment portion having a locking projection and being affixed to a handle and adapted for removable engagement with the female attachment portion. The locking projection on the male attachment portion is biased to engage the receptacle in the female attachment portion so as to releaseably lock the cleaning head and the handle together.

A tape cleaner is proposed. In the tape cleaner, the structure of the cleaner is simple, weight and volume thereof are minimized, the generation of noise is reduced during use, and the process of replacing an adhesive tape roll is performed rapidly and easily. The tape cleaner includes: an adhesive tape roll on which an adhesive tape is wound; a roll fitting part over which the adhesive tape roll is fitted; a handle part provided at a side of the roll fitting part; a roll-rotation guide part provided on the roll fitting part to guide rotational movement of the adhesive tape roll; and a noise reduction part provided in the roll fitting part to discharge and reduce noise generated during the rotational movement of the adhesive tape roll.

A ancillary handle includes: a gripping part of the ancillary handle, a receiving part having an elongate seat for the shank, and a locking device for locking the shank and fixing the surgical instrument to the ancillary handle. A locking part engages in a groove on the outer surface of the shank. The locking part translates between: iii) a locking configuration, in which the locking part engages in the groove and blocks the surgical instrument, and iv) an unlocking configuration, in which the locking part frees the shank. The locking device includes an actuation part for moving the locking part between the locking and unlocking configurations.
