A pickup bed tool assembly includes a handle which has a first portion that slidably engages a second portion such that the handle has a telescopically adjustable length. A push bar is pivotally coupled to the handle for pushing cargo into a pickup bed. The push bar is positionable in a deployed position or a stored position. A locking unit is movably coupled to the handle. The locking unit releasably engages the push bar to retain the push bar in either the stored position or the deployed position. The locking unit is actuatable to disengage the push bar thereby facilitating the push bar to freely pivot on the handle. A hook is coupled to the handle to grapple cargo in the pickup bed for pulling the cargo out of the pickup bed.

A device including a first clip portion including a bottom section having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first leg section extending from the first end of the bottom section, a second leg section extending from the second end of the bottom section, and a pole adaptor attachment portion; an arm projecting away from the first leg section; and a light string attachment portion located on the first leg section, the light string attachment portion including a substantially C-shaped clip defined by the arm, the first leg section, and the pole adaptor attachment portion.

Device for aiding a truck driver in loading/unloading a cargo platform including a grapple that connects to a telescopic handle. The grapple includes two arms forming grooves at the centre. Each arm includes hooks extending in opposing directions to help receive components used for securing a load to the cargo platform such as a flatbed truck. Components include cargo straps, winch straps, edge protectors, chains, binders, clips, plates, flanges, detents, hooks, cables, and the like. The grapple includes a plate member connecting the arms at one side and sliding along the grapple allowing the truck driver to use the grapple along with the telescopic handle. The plate member in conjunction with the grapple allows to hold/place components at desired location for securing the load to the cargo platform. The truck driver adjusts length of the telescopic handle and uses the grapple to hold components during loading/unloading of the cargo platform.

A force transmission mechanism includes a force adjuster that receives a driving force and that is configured to change a force transmission efficiency, and also includes a driving member that is configured to connect an end effector and the force adjuster via a joint section and transmit the driving force. The force adjuster converts the driving force into a linear force via a rotational force, and increases the conversion efficiency from the driving force to the linear force such that an amount of increase in the force transmission efficiency increases with increasing displacement amount of the driving member when the driving member is displaced in accordance with flexing or curving of the joint section.

A sanitary touch stick apparatus for sanitary pressing of buttons and touch screens includes a base having a base stick end, a base cap end, and a base sidewall. A sponge is coupled within the base. The sponge has a stick aperture extending from a sponge stick end through a sponge cap end. The sponge is saturated with a disinfectant solution. A cap is coupled to the base. The cap is selectively engageable with the base cap end. A handle is coupled to the base. The handle has an open handle engagement end selectively engageable with the base stick end and a sealed handle outer end. A touch stick is coupled to the handle. The touch stick protrudes from the handle engagement end and is selectively engageable within the stick aperture of the sponge.

A reaching and grabbing tool is provided. The tool includes a trigger assembly having a trigger and a handle. A jaw assembly is provided having at least one jaw operably connected to the trigger to move the at least one jaw. A hinge assembly is disposed between the trigger assembly and the jaw assembly, the hinge assembly being selectively lockable between an operating position and a folded position.
