> This metal tool is a metal rod eleven inches long with attachments at either end. At one end there is a five inch long metal rod with crimped ends that passes perpendicularly through a hole in the shaft. This smaller rod can move freely rotating or back and forth until it reaches the ends. The other end of the long main rod is widened and has metal ridges on it. It also has an attachement. This attachment is a C-shaped piece of metal, which can pivot in the plane of the C, mounted on a small shaft passing through the larger one. The C is pulled toward the main shaft by a weak spring. The small shaft is held in place on one side by the a broadened cross-section and on the other by a fairly rigid pin. This pin fits into a slot set in and parallel to the axis of the main rod but the small shaft can be rotated with a small amount of force. The two pin postions of the small shaft place the C-shaped piece's motion perpendicular to the main rod's axis.

Here is a combined set of post in the series. As usual, I will try to answe=
r questions about their composition, size and how they can move. Pictures a=
re provide via dropbox.

POST10_TOOL37
This metal and plastic tool is a little over five inches long. A curved met=
al shaft with a four-point-star-shaped cross-section extends from the end o=
f one arm toward the other one. The four points of the star extend out at t=
he end to create a concave bowl approximately 1/16 of an inch deep. The oth=
er arm ends in a circular opening and has a plastic piece attached to it. I=
t has a simple expansion spring with fairly weak resistance that keeps it i=
n its fully open position. There is approximately one inch of clearance bet=
ween the shaft and the circular hole in the open position. The plastic piec=
e stops the closing when the four-pronged metal shaft is just beyond the ci=
rcular hole in the opposing arm.

POST10_TOOL38
This metal tool has three arms that can be rotated independently. One ends =
in a flat metal circle at a right angle to the arm. The second is a straigh=
t metal rod ending in a point. The third ends in a small spoon-shaped featu=
re.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1n089g3mxjdjig1/POST10_TOOL38_PICALL.JPG?dl=3D0

POST10_TOOL39
This metal tool has four pivot points. It is eight and one half inches long=
in its extended position but only three and one half inches long in its co=
mpressed postion. Correspondingly it is three inches wide when extended but=
six inches wide when compressed. Two circular arcs at one end meet when it=
is fully extended. There are two small tabs at the other end with a trade =
name on them.

POST11_TOOL41
This plastic and metal tool is approximately five and one half inches wide.=
There is a plastic (possible bakelite) handle which can be removed and sto=
red inside the metal compartment. One side of the metal compartment is hing=
ed and can be opened or closed. The other side has an opening with a revolv=
ing metal shaft with plastic bristles set in it. It appears to be missing s=
ome of the bristles. Plastic wheels on either end of the shaft extend outsi=
de the metal compartment. There are metal walls on either side of the brist=
led shaft extending half way up.

extends across and beyond the other jaw on one side.

This metal tool is eleven inches long. It ends in an elongated 1/2 inch by =
1/4 inch loop positioned at a slight angle to the shaft. The side of the lo=
op is a narrow metal wall with a dull "bottom" and a narrow "top". The hand=
le has two indentations on opposite sites the line up confortably with the =
thumb and index finger when the tool is held out. There are three regularly=
space notches on the shaft near the handle. There is a "2" imprinted on t=
he shaft.=20

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to view all of these without having to
go back and forth between the news group and my browser. Is there a way
to go from one to the other in dropbox?

Thanks

It has two prongs on the jaws, one a little longer than the other and curved toward it. the other side of one of the jaws is a flat round face.The handles are designed to fit together with a tapered edge on one moving past a flat place on the other at one point, a semicircle on one closing against the other at another point, and a projection on one moving into a circular depression on the other at a third point.

There is an S-shaped component that can act as a cover for half of the wheel or to force something against it. One end of the S-shaped piece has a circular tab the fits nicely where ones thumb is place opposite ones index finger when holding the handle to apply pressure.

Not sure, but I suspect it is some type of can opener.
