20090229929CANTILEVER BRAKE DEVICE - A cantilever brake device is disclosed having a pair of opposing brake arm assemblies with cable tension or the traction point at the distal end of the body members at the bottom trunk portions rather than at the upper level by the adjustable arm members. By moving the cable tension and traction point to the bottom level of the body members, the brakes are applied more evenly and uniformly against and onto the rim surface for greater braking power and mechanical advantage. The cantilever brake device is also disclosed having a shoe housing member that is easily adjustable on a y-axis for height adjustment of the brake shoe since the brake shoe is each mounted on the shoe housing member and allows uniform adjustment of both the shoe housing members holding the brakes shoes. The shoe housing member is easily rotatable to modify the pitch angle of the brake shoes on a pivotal, horizontal axis to align the brake pads squarely against the rim surface so that the top and bottom portions of the brake pads touch the rim surface equally and uniformly when brakes are applied. Consequently, all the vertical, horizontal, roll angle, pitch angle, and toe-in adjustments are easily achievable for fine tuning the brakes by using the present cantilever brake device.09-17-2009

20090084242HOLE PUNCH WITH JAM RELEASE CLIP - A hole punch apparatus with a jam release clip coupled to a push rod and a punch pin, wherein the push rod passes through a hole formed in a side of the clip, and wherein the punch pin is secured to the clip by a pair of parallel fingers at one end of the clip that engage two flat grooves formed in the sides of the punch pin. A handle of the hole punch apparatus pivots about a pivot rod, which handle front end is linked to the punch pin via the jam release clip. Pressing down on the handle advances the punch pin to cut a hole in a paper stack held inside a paper slot, and lifting up on the handle withdraws the punch pin out of the paper stack.04-02-2009
