The present invention generally relates to swivel knives. Specifically, the present invention relates to blade assemblies comprising blades and blade retaining members, for example, blade cartridges for swivel knives.

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.

A cleaning device for cleaning inner surfaces of an object such as a bottle or vase. A device includes a shaft, a slidably coupled runner, a hub, arms pivotally coupled to the hub, stretchers, cleaning heads attached to the tips of the arms, and arm rod coupled to the runner. The arms can include wiping material along their length. When retracted, the device can be inserted into an object. Pushing on the rod leads to extension of the arms. The extended arms can be held in place by a securing means such as a set screw. The device can then be moved rotationally, translationally or both relative to the object. The securing means can then be released, and the arms can be retracted by pulling the rod. The device can be removed from the object, and the cleaning heads can be removed.

A head for a debris collector including a mounting member configured to be pivotably connected to a handle such that the mounting member is pivotal about at least one pivot axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the handle; and a plurality of adhesive layers removably attached to the mounting member for collecting debris, wherein the adhesive layers are removable from the mounting member one layer at a time.

The invention is directed to an ergonomic tool holder, adaptable to a conventional pole and having a handle and a supporting base. These are coupled to an interconnecting unit in a non-permanent manner. The coupling of the handle to the interconnecting unit and the coupling of the supporting base to the interconnecting unit allows the tool holder to be assembled, having the handle in straight or multiple angled positions with regard to the supporting base and wherein the tool may be held and positioned along the X-X, Y-Y, or Z-Z axes. A given conventional utensil used in working activities such as painting or maintenance may be clamped and secured on the supporting base. Thus, the User may position such utensils in the tool holder straight or in the angled position at their convenience and may change such positions easily and quickly.

Described herein is a rotary mop and a rotary structure of a mop handle of the rotary mop. The rotary structure comprises a rotary cylinder of which the inner wall is provided with spiral grooves and a lifting rod penetrating through the rotary cylinder, wherein the lifting rod is provided with a unidirectional rotary one-way bearing, bulges matched with the spiral grooves are apart arranged outside the one-way bearing, when the lifting rod is pressed downwards, the one-way bearing stops rotation, and the bulges and the spiral grooves are mutually matched to drive the rotary cylinder to rotate; and when the lifting rod is pulled upwards, the one-way bearing idly rotates along the spiral grooves. The bottom of the rotary cylinder is provided with a bottom plate for sealing the rotary cylinder, and lubricating oil or lubricating grease is provided in the rotary cylinder.

A mechanism to secure the base of a pole to the lid of a flatbox finisher is provided. The mechanism utilizes at least one spring grasping device on the lid of the flat box finisher to grasp and secure the base of the pole. The grasping mechanism is depressed and grasps a generally flat rectangular edge of the base of the pole and secures the base of the pole to the lid of the flatbox finisher by friction. In particular, as the base having the pole of the flatbox finisher is first slid over the grasping mechanism, the grasping mechanism is first pushed downward. After the base slides over the grasping mechanism, the grasping mechanism springs back upward and locks the base of the pole into place on the lid of the flatbox finisher. Wing nuts may then be used to further secure the base of the pole to the lid of the flatbox finisher.

A finger ratchet tool includes a body having a top part on the top thereof, and a ratchet device connected to the underside of the body. The top part includes a tapered face in the outer periphery thereof. Two flanges extend radially from the top part. A connection portion extends from the body. A mounting member has a C-shaped collar which has an opening, and a rod is connected between two ends of the opening. A matching face is defined in the inner periphery of the C-shaped collar. Two recesses are defined in the C-shaped collar and each have two ends. The rod is pivotably connected to the connection portion, and the C-shaped collar is mounted to the top part to match the matching face with the tapered face. The flanges are engaged with the recesses.
