Abstract: A partition system to be added inside a pitcher. The system comprises an elongated partition plate having longitudinal sides, and a releasable hook. The hook is mounted inside the pitcher, adjacent to that portion of the walls of the pitcher terminating into a pouring lip, for temporary holding the partition plate adjacent to that portion of the walls of the pitcher and parallel to those walls. Thus inside the pitcher two zones are obtained:a zone regulating the size of material leaving the pouring lip and thereby preventing oversize material,and a confinement zone for confining the oversize material in the confinement zone.

Abstract: A rack for receiving objects delivering liquids and dirts, comprising at least one stackable module having a T-shaped cross-section. The module has walls defining a vertical passage, a tray outwardly projected from these walls making the vertical passage. The tray is horizontal, has an inclined bottom, and a perforated plate for receiving objects delivering liquids and dirts, supported by the tray, over the inclined bottom of that tray. A way to exit liquids and dirts is provided from the inclined bottom of the tray, towards and within the walls defining the vertical passage. The walls defining the vertical passage terminate at opposite ends into coupling for coupling with another similar module: for instance a male-female coupling. Thereby the modules are stackable for making a rack and are held by the walls defining the vertical passage. Preferably the rack has a support module having also walls defining a vertical passage.

Abstract: A rifle harness which comprises a belt, an elbow rest having opposite ends, and a strap having opposite ends. One end of the elbow rest is for receiving an elbow of a human being, or adjacent parts of an upper limb adjacent to the elbow. The other end of the elbow rest, is mounted and adjoining the belt. One of the ends of the strap is mounted to hold the belt, adjacent to one side of the elbow rest. The other end of the strap is mounted to hold the belt, adjacent to a side opposite the one side of the elbow rest. Thus the strap is for running from one of the ends holding the belt, for diagonally crossing up the back of that human being, running over the shoulder joining the other upper limb, and diagonally crossing down the thorax, to finally hold the belt, adjacent to a side opposite the one side of the elbow rest. With this harness, shooting is more reliable.

Abstract: A bath which has walls making a bottom and sides upwardly extending therefrom. At least one pair of injectors are either continuously mechanically reciprocating or sequentially actuated in a straight line so that fluid jets be moving in order to obtain jets repeatedly continuously displaced as straight lines, along one of these walls being perforated. This bath aims at body treatments, for instance overcoming body pains, particularly the self-relief of aching back. A method is also described for a bath having fluid injectors equally and symmetrically disposed about a median, in two rows, each row being parallel to the median, adjacent to, but short thereof, and parallel to the wall with the longitudinal opening, with the fluid injectors producing uniform fluid jets on each of the two rows, each jet having a uniform trajectory, displacing the trajectory from fluid jets, along two straight lines running across the trajectory, while maintaining spacing between the lines within 4.5.+-.

Abstract: This stackable, quickly-foldable swing chair has a frame to sway to and fro, and at least one chair. Each chair has a pair of front legs and a pair of rear stiles, individually pivotally mounted on a bracket fastened to the frame. Each stile has a flat bottom having an obtuse angle, as defined between the bottom and the rear of a stile. The pivot is spaced from the frame and receiving the front bottom of the stiles for the stiles to rotate from a substantially horizontal to an inclined rear position, being stopped in the horizontal position by the frame and in the inclined position by the flat bottom of the stiles against the frame.

Abstract: A child-proof gas lighter has a lever operating a gas valve, for opening and closing the gas valve in an open and close position. An interfering piece is movably mounted on the lighter, in space relation to the lever. That interfering piece has a portion for jamming the lever, as to prevent displacements of that lever for opening the valve when moving in one direction. When moving the interfering piece counter to that direction, the lever becomes displaceable in that open position, to allow opening of the valve, thus the interfering piece is displaceable from an open unlock position to a close lock position. A retractable pen having such lighters is also described.

Abstract: This invention relates to a compact bath-chair support comprising a frame having a flat bottom surface for resting on top of a side of a bath. The frame has along a first side, at least one jaw downwardly extending, and fixedly or slidably mounted, onto that frame, above a plane containing the flat bottom surface. At least one downwardly extending jaw is slidably mounted on the side opposite the first side, and above that plane containing the flat bottom surface. A screw or other clamps, is positioned above the plane containing the bottom surface, and connected to the jaws that are slidably mounted, for the jaws of one side to move toward and away from, the jaws on the other side, so as to act as a vise, to securely hold the side of a bath near the top. The frame has above the bottom surface, at least one receptacle for receiving the shaft of a chair.

A rectangular floatable wing vessel is hinged along each of the longitudinal side walls of the main vessel, at the top. The wing vessels turn from a position side-by-side with the main vessel to an upside-down position over the main vessel: where the wing vessels side-by-side may define a trimaran and a camper, and in the upside-down position over the main vessel define a top for a luggage carrier, the luggage carrier being the main vessel, slidable into a loading platform of a pickup truck and usable with a snowmobile.

Abstract: This single portable single-cup washer comprises a container having a locking cover. A water driven elongated member has a plurality of water-spray nozzles there along and at its base radial blades defining radial water-spray nozzles, and water passages for the water-spray nozzles. The elongated member is rotatably mounted at its base, inside the container and has a water inlet joining the water passage for revolving that member. The container has at the bottom a water-outlet. A cup holder is mounted onto the container above and adjacent the radial blades, for receiving a cup upside down and a spring fasten to the locking cover to urge against the bottom of the cup and thereby the top of the cup is pressing against the cup holder and thereby frictionally holding the cup and counteracting the water against the cup.

Abstract: A three-part auxiliary shaft assembly to be mounted along a hand-tool shaft, comprises a two-part sleeve and an auxiliary shaft which is ball-shaped at one end. The sleeve has a top, a bottom and a symmetrical axis running from top to bottom, and is cut in half along the symmetrical axis to define the two parts of the two-part sleeve. Each part has an inner hemi-housing parallel to the symmetrical axis of the sleeve, and running from the top to the bottom of the sleeve for tight-fitting half the cross-section of a portion of a hand-tool shaft. Near the top away from the inner hemi-housing, a second inner hemi-housing for half the ball-shaped end of the auxiliary shaft has an opening at the top, shorter than the diameter of the ball-shaped end of the auxiliary shaft. When the two parts of the sleeve are assembled, a housing is provided for the ball-shaped end of the auxiliary shaft, as well as a housing for the portion of a hand-tool shaft.
