  • Patent number: 5616255
    Abstract: A solution and process for chemically resharpening smoothing tools, forming tools, and cutting tools such as files, jigsaw blades, hacksaw blades, coping saw blades, bandsaw blades, and other tools. The solution contains preferred concentrations of acid and water. The tools are immersed in the solution for a period of from 1 minute to 12 hours depending upon the wear to the tools, the size of the tools, and the number of times the solution has been reused, at the end of which the tools are removed, wiped, and allowed to air dry so that rust resistant property in the solution adheres to the tools.

  • Patent number: 5588246
    Abstract: Interchangeable eyes for fishing lures comprising eye fastening members on the head of the fishing lures, simulated eyes detachably attached to the eye fastening members and having a simulated pupil protruding therefrom, and further comprising distinctively colored spongy material removably retentive to the eyes for retaining and releasing selective fish-alluring scents into the water for attracting game fish onto the hooks of the fishing lures. These fishing lures resemble the prey of the fish so that the fish will try to feed upon the fishing lures and as they do so they will become hooked upon the hooks depending from the fishing lures.
