Abstract:

A trimming tool for trimming the edges of wallpaper in which separate razor blades are supported on respective arms slidably mounted on a handle for movement between extended operative positions beyond the edge of a blade member secured to the handle. The arms are urged by springs to the retracted position in which the razor blades do not project beyond the edge of the blade member. Manually engageable projections are provided for the individual displacement of each arm to its extended position against the opposition of the springs, the arms being individually displaceable, one at a time, to bring the cutting edge of the associated razor blade beyond the edge of the blade member into its operative cutting position. When the tool is moved in one direction, the razor blade at one of the side regions of the blade member is extended to cut the wallpaper along a line of cut while the edge of the blade member guides the tool and when the tool is halted, the razor blade at the other of the end regions of the blade member is extended and the tool is moved in the reverse direction to complete the line of cut.

Abstract:

A portable generator includes: a case having a front, symmetrical air-foil shaped sidewalls, Kamm tail rear and flat base; a wind turbine; a telescoping shaft hingedly connected to the case base for supporting the wind turbine, in a horizontal and a range of vertical positions for receiving wind without the case; an offset air entrance hole within the case front for directing ambient air towards the wind turbine when in the case; an elliptical, funnel-shaped channel extending from the air entrance hole towards the turbine blades capturing the wind from the air entrance hole and directing it towards the turbine blade assembly; an air escape hole within the case rear for directing air out of the case; ties for holding the pole in a vertical position; one or more batteries for supplying DC power to an AC inverter; an inverter DC for converting AC from the generator unit; a solar array for augmenting and supplying DC power to the batteries; the AC inverter to supply energy to AC electrical equipment; an electrical outlet connected to the inverter; and, a hinged somewhat rounded cover for the case that in horizontal position forms a water tight seal with the sidewalls for the case and in vertical position allows for redirection of the solar array. The cover is secured to the case via a locking hinge arrangement. The case also includes retractable wheels and handle to allow for removal and relocation of the power generator.
