  • Patent number: 6123206
    Abstract: A spatially and mechanically independent removable display attachment with wedge retainers for vertical cylindrical supports which consists of a flat member surrounded by an upwardly rising rim and an upwardly protruding open tubular segment. The opening completely pierces the flat member, so that a pole or pipe can easily slide through the invention. The attachment is supported at various vertical distances along the pole by a combination of structural innovations, O-rings, and in intimate physical contact and combination with wedgelike retainers.

  • Patent number: 6116225
    Abstract: A novel laminar flow nozzle for fuel injected racing cars is described herein. One novel feature comprises a narrow angle between converging conduit component channels. These channels, in turn, supply vaporized fuel and nitrous oxide to the main chamber of the nozzle. Another important novel feature is the integral structure of the nozzle; the conduit components, generally rigid and cylindrical in shape, are physical integral components of the nozzle. The result of our invention is a nozzle with a smooth laminar flow of gases which results in less turbulence and greater horsepower.

  • Patent number: 6108971
    Abstract: A planter box for installation on the top of a narrow horizontal surface includes a lower surface with at least one recessed depression. Each depression comprises serrations around its periphery. A rectangular connector with serrations complementary to the serrations of a respective depression and a downwardly depending peg, is frictionally inserted in each depression. In this manner, when the box rests on the top of the panel, one peg extends downwardly in close relation, but not contacting the panel. A wedge member is provided for each peg, each wedge member including a block with a friction surface to contact a respective wall member side, and a slanted slot to receive a respective peg. As each wedge member slides along a respective peg in a direction parallel to the panel top, the friction surface of each wedge member will be brought into frictional contact with a respective panel side to hold the planter box in place.

  • Patent number: 5887384
    Abstract: A planter box for installation on the top of a narrow horizontal surface such as the top of a movable room partition or panel includes a lower surface with at least one pair of side-by-side, circular depressions. Each depression includes serrations around its periphery. A rectangular connector with serrations complementary to the serrations of a respective depression at its short ends, and a downwardly depending peg, is frictionally inserted in each depression at an angle such that, when the box rests on the top of the panel, one peg extends downwardly on each side of the panel in close relation, but not contacting the panel.

  • Patent number: 5715954
    Abstract: A spatially and mechanically independent donut bowl structure is provided. The preferred embodiment consists of a flat member surrounded by an upwardly rising rim and an upwardly protruding open tubular segment on the upper surface. The opening completely pierces the donut bowl, so that a pole or pipe can easily slide through the invention. The donut support can be used by itself as a small dish. It can also be used interchangeably as a versatile, lightweight, and inexpensive container or tray component to any variety of decorative displays using poles, pipes, or pedestals.

  • Patent number: 5601681
    Abstract: A folder for carrying business cards and the like, and a method for inexpensively producing the card carrier is described herein. A paperboard folder, which can open and close along a spine, is coated or otherwise designed along its outer surface. A sheet of plastic or other suitable material is next printed on its lower surface with adhesive stripes. This printed sheet is applied to the interior surface of the folder, where it is die-cut to produce the slots for inserting the cards. In this manner, a consumer can easily and quickly arrange his business cards in an inexpensive manner. The folder also comes with an elastic band which binds other papers to the card carrier's exterior surface. My invention is also easily adapted as a leaf or leaves in a restaurant menu, in which the pockets with slots easily hold removable cards printed with special entrees.

  • Patent number: 5577344
    Abstract: A portable party riser, or pedestal-type stand, is provided, consisting of several container-bases and a thin cylindrical rigid stem for support. The container-bases are manually connected to this stem by fitting either of the two ends of the support tightly into the appropriate socket or hub on either surface of the flange of each container-base. The structure is generally supported by a bottom container acting as the base, and resting upon a horizontal surface such as a floor or table top. As such, it is an excellent device for placing decorative arrangements, because it is leakproof without a gluing or other adhesive means.
