The invention concerns a gripping handle (1) comprising: a main body (3), a receiving orifice (4) formed within the main body (3) for receiving a sliding removable working bit (2), a blocking lever (14) rotatably mounted on the main body (3) between: a blocking orientation in which it blocks the sliding of the working bit (2), a release orientation in which it enables the sliding of the working bit (2), an elastic pivot (15, 16) designed to bring, by itself, the blocking lever (14) back in the blocking orientation, the gripping handle (1) being characterized in that the main body (3), the blocking lever (14) and the elastic pivot (15, 16) are integral with each other.

Surgical instrumentation.

An improved telepole device having attachment means for attaching swimming pool cleaning, and other tools. The improved telepole device preferably includes an inner tube which freely slides within an outer tube, and a locking device to temporarily secure the inner tube in a desired position within the outer tube. A preferred lightweight design may be at least partially hollow along the length of the tube(s), and durability may be provided by inner/reinforcement wall(s) that extend across the hollow portion(s) of one or both of the tubes. On the end of the outer tube through which the inner tube slides/extends is a collar element attached thereto and comprised of a locking device having a detent mechanism for “locking” the inner tube in place within the outer tube. Preferably, the collar's opening and the profile of the inner tube have one or more sides that, due to their relative position with respect to each other, can prevent the inner tube from rotating within the collar. Further, the inner tube preferably has a series of holes along its length which are positioned to receive a pin element of the detent mechanism. Further, the end of the outer tube opposite the collar preferably has attachment holes configured to receive attachable and detachable swimming pool cleaning tools, and an additional set of holes that allow water to drain from the outer tube while a tool is attached.

A hand tool with insulation handle. The handle is made of an insulation material and is formed with a hollow portion (11) and an embedding groove (12). The embedding groove (12) is communicated with the hollow portion (11) and located on a front end (101) of the handle. The tool rod (20) includes a shaft (21) having a rear end (211) and a front end (212). The end plug (30) is made of the insulation material and includes a clamping section (31) and an abutting section (32). The rear end (211) of the shaft is positioned in the end plug through snapping the clamping section. The tool rod (20) is replaceablely inserted in the hollow portion (11) of the handle and protrudes from the handle.

A hammer tool includes a hammer head and a handle. The hammer head includes an insertion hole and first and second side holes aligned with each other and located on two opposite sides of and intercommunicating with the insertion hole. The handle includes an insertion portion on an end thereof. The insertion portion is inserted into the insertion hole. A first coupling flange is integrally formed with the insertion portion and is inserted into the first side hole. The handle includes a hollow portion extending in a longitudinal direction thereof. The handle further includes a third side hole extending in a radial direction thereof Δn end of the third side hole intercommunicates with the hollow portion. Another end of the third side hole extends to an outer periphery of the insertion portion. The third side hole is aligned with the second side hole.

A fastener for superimposing and fastening two sheets of plate-like members, wherein at least one of the plate-like members has a hole formed therein, includes a pair of U-shaped accommodating portions adapted to be inserted with end portions of the two sheets of plate-like members; a pair of connection portions respectively connecting the pair of accommodating portions; a pair of engagement pieces extending from the pair of connection portions in an insertion direction of the plate-like members; an engagement portion formed in each of the pair of engagement pieces, adapted to engage with the hole; and a wobbling suppressing mechanism disposed adjacent to the pair of engagement pieces, and extending from each of the pair of connection portions in the insertion direction of the plate-like members for engaging with the hole.

An adjustment tool enables manipulation of a prosthetic anatomical device such as an annuloplasty ring. The tool includes a compression member which is operative for retarding rotation of the adjustment shaft to preclude inadvertent rotation thereof during use of the tool by the surgeon. A locking device is associated with the adjustment tool to enable the releasable attachment of the tool to the anatomical device during its adjustment by manipulation of the tool. The locking device is oriented into operative and inoperative positions by the engagement and disengagement of locking elements. A scale may be provided on the adjustment tool to assist a surgeon in determining the size or amount of adjustment to the size of the anatomical device during its adjustment.

A telepole for swimming pool cleaning is disclosed as including an inner tube and a locking device to temporarily secure the inner tube in a desired position within an outer tube. A preferred lightweight design may be at least partially hollow, and durability may be provided by inner/reinforcement wall(s) in one or both of the tubes. A collar element is disclosed as “locking” the inner tube in place within the outer tube. The collar's opening and the profile of the inner tube are disclosed in a relationship that prevents the inner tube from rotating within the collar. The inner tube is disclosed as having a series of holes along its length to receive a pin element of a detent mechanism. The end of the outer tube opposite the collar is disclosed as having multiple sets of attachment holes to receive attachable and detachable swimming pool cleaning tools.

A multipurpose tool system that can be assembled into multiple configurations by a user. The tool system may comprise a plurality of components, including tool heads, shaft segments, and handle ends. The components of the tool system can be combined in various configurations to provide different functions, at different lengths. Connectors may be utilized to connect the various components of the system using a twist lock mechanism. The connectors may include a tubular sleeve member having a biased locking shaft that interacts with a locking groove.
