An automatic hand drying apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a housing defining an inner space; in one embodiment, at least one arm member is attached to and extends away from said housing; a rotating towel device is supported on the arm member; a drive is disposed in the housing for rotating the rotating towel means. In another embodiment, the rotating towels or rollers are supported on a turntable. The preferred drive means include an electro-motor and a transmission connects the motor with the towel. The apparatus may also include a warm air blower disposed in the housing and the housing has warm air nozzle openings formed therein for directing warm air from the warm air blower towards the rotating towel means.
A pipe cutting device for cutting tubing and other cylindrical objects comprises a frame with a handle portion at one end thereof and an upper jaw portion at another end thereof. A cutting roller is rotatably supported in the upper jaw portion. A slide carriage is slidingly mounted on the frame and a power-driven roller is rotatably supported in the slide carriage. The slide carriage with the power-driven roller forms a lower jaw disposed opposite from the upper jaw, and the upper and lower jaws define a cutting space for receiving tubing or other cylindrical objects to be cut. The slide carriage is slid in a direction towards the upper jaw for narrowing the cutting space during a cutting operation. A power motor drives the power-driven roller.
