Abstract: A ball toss game that uses a vertical pole with a panel, resembling an inverted lamp shade mounted on the end. The panel has holes in each quadrant for releasing resilient balls bounced off the floor and at least one wall. Each player has two attempts to score for each turn. The number to turns and value of each score is determined by the players.

Abstract: The invention is a hand tool for killing and disposing of bugs that walk, crawl or hop and includes an elongated handle with a trapezoidally shaped paddle on one end. The handle is mounted centrally on one side of the paddle. The other side of the paddle contains spikes one half inch in length and spaced with a density of one hundred per square inch. The handle is reinforced so that an impaled bug will be dislodged with a sharp rap on the side of a trash barrel. The entire tool is a single piece of molded plastic.

Abstract: A hand held extendable wand containing a battery power supply and electric motor is controllable and directable by a pistol grip with switches for on-off and speed on one end. A shaft from the motor extends beyond the wand on the other end. Cleaning brushes attach to the motor shaft in one case and a reciprocating motion conversion block containing a shaped brush is attached to the wand housing and motor shaft in another case. The wand contains an adjustable extension to vary the length of reach of the brush.

Abstract: The invention is a lock for male electrical connectors used with appliances and power equipment and consists of a housing with receiving slots for the connector prongs and a U-shaped spring in the housing containing nibs that engage the apertures on the connector prongs. A spring biased plunger engages the arms and cause them to release the prongs when depressed. Cooperating holes through the housing and the plunger allow a lock to pass through and disable the plunger. The spring biasing the plunger is selectibly changeable for situations where a stronger spring would negate the use of a lock. The housing is sufficiently thin that a three conductor plug could be locked without interference from the ground prong.

Abstract: An apparatus for carrying bags having a bag handle has a hand gripable handle member, a vertical support member attached to the hand gripable handle member and a bag supporting member attached to the vertical support member distal the hand gripable handle member. A first bag handle restriction member and a second bag handle restriction member are attached to the bag supporting member. A first attachment member is attached to a gripable handle first end and a second attachment member is attached to a gripable handle second end. A third attachment member is releasably attached to a bag supporting member first end and a fourth attachment member is releasably attached to a bag supporting member second end. There is a support strap member to assist the user to carry heavy loads on the shopping bag handle grip. The support strap is slidingly connected in a port of the first attachment member and in a port of the second attachment member. A first stop member is attached to the one end of the support strap member.

Abstract: The invention is a hummingbird feeder that is formed in three parts, a top including a cover and an ant inhibiting water filled moat; a globular reservoir that stores the nectar and a communication block and support for a plurality of feeding stations connected to a stem at the base of the globe. The three sections are threaded together and easily assembled and disassembled. The moat also serves as a water feeding station for small birds.

Abstract: A stand for storing multiple handguns that includes a base and a vertical panel perpendicular to the base. The vertical panel contains a number of slots with a follower behind the panel and studs extending through the panel to engage a threaded cavity in the follower. The stud and follower slide in the slot and are locked in place by a stop ring on the stud. The barrel of a handgun slides over the stud and the heel of the grip may rest on the base.

Abstract: A device for covering a trash burning receptacle, including a substantially planar, circular lid member. The lid member is composed of a heavy duty steel material and has a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch and a diameter of approximately 28 inches. A smoke exhaust stack is disposed on the top surface of the lid member, with the smoke exhaust stack including a cylindrically shaped steel pipe having a height of approximately four inches and a steel mesh grill disposed over its top surface. A securing mechanism pivotally attaches the lid member to the top of a cylindrical waste receptacle, and includes a U-shaped flange member removably attached to an outer edge of the waste receptacle, along with a hinge member having a first surface attached to the flange member and a second surface attached to the bottom surface of the lid member.

Abstract: A protective swimwear garment for infants and young children who wear diapers. The panty like garment is waterproof and is worn over the diaper. A seal is made between the body and the garment by inflating an air receiving chamber around the waist and legs which will prevent water from entering and soaking the diaper.

Abstract: A carrying case for wire and cable that includes a removable top and bottom with sides, front and back hinged at three junctions and latched at the forth. The case opens to form a linear sheet exposing six wire supporting hooks. In the closed condition two groups of three hooks are end abutting and top wall abutting thereby preventing the cable from leaving the hook in the event the case is tumbled about.
