Abstract: A method for precisely perforating an opening in footwear by positioning the footwear on a foot form with the outsole facing upward, supporting the vamp area of the footwear by a V-shaped support, clamping the rear section of the footwear to stabilize the footwear and moving the footwear upwardly against the die under pressure so that an opening is perforated in the heel area of the footwear. The apparatus includes a shuttle member on which the foot form, the V-shaped support and the clamp are carried. The clamp is activated when the shuttle is moved to contact a limit switch. The footwear is caused to be moved upwardly against the die under pressure upon the operator activating a switch.

Abstract: The method of the present invention comprises inserting a moldable slug having a plurality of longitudinally oriented resin impregnated predominantly glass fiber filaments into a bow limb profiling mold. The mold consists of two halves, the first half containing two female cavities and a second half having two matching fitted male sections. Each cavity receives a predetermined volume and weight of continuous longitudinal fibrous reinforcement material and plastic resin matrix material. Heat and pressure are applied during initial curing and the uncured end is removed. The slug is then finally cured.

Abstract: A cam is eccentrically journaled at one end of a compound archery bow and a pulley is journaled at the other end of the bow. A cable passes around the pulley to form a bowstring section and a second cable section, both sections forming a dual feed single cam compound bow. The amount of feed out to both ends of the bowstring is approximately the same. One embodiment of the cam provides a large radius cam groove and a smaller radius cam groove which are designed to synchronize the rate of cable feed out at both ends of the bowstring section during the drawing operation. An anchor cable is provided to tie the two limbs of the bow together during the flexing of the bow.

Abstract: An apparatus for preventing unwanted entry through the windows of a structure includes an outer frame which is fastened to the structure and an inner frame which is connected to the outer frame by a pair of hinges and by a lock assembly. The lock assembly includes a locking rail which is slideably mounted in a vertical member of the inner frame and which slides downward under the influence of gravity to a normally locked position in which portions of the locking rail engage a pair of T bolts which are mounted on the outer frame and which project into the vertical member of the inner frame. The locking rail includes a pivotally mounted pin which must be moved to a vertical position to unlock the inner frame.

Abstract: A door hinge assembly is provided which includes a mounting body with a pocket for receiving an edge of a door, a clamping mechanism positioned on and securing the mounting body to the door, a pin projecting upwards from the mounting body and a bushing for receiving the pin. The bushing is mounted in a recess of a door frame and preferably includes a series of fluted ribs along its outer wall. An annular ring projects inwardly from an inner wall of the bushing. A channel on the pin receives the annular ring and retains same within the bushing.

Abstract: A litter box includes a pair of brushes each of which has bristles which project into an opening through which an animal must pass in order to enter or leave the litter box thereby performing a grooming action on the coat of the animal. In an additional embodiment of the invention, a sponge member is provided which deposits a liquid on the coat of the animal as the animal enters or leaves the litter box. In another embodiment of the invention the animal enters a second enclosure in which a washing action is performed on the animal's body and paws.

Abstract: A game is provided wherein a pet and its owner can interest through play with a remotely controlled toy system. The system includes a mechanically movable toy animal, a control box separate from the toy animal and, optionally, an enclosure structure sufficiently large for surrounding the toy animal. In the game method, a pet, such a household cat, chases the remotely controlled toy animal which may be in the shape of a rodent. Besides evasive movements, the toy animal can evade capture by the cat through entry into the enclosure structure. Both the human operator of the toy animal and the pet can create a new friendship by joint participation in this game.

Abstract: The improved cable guard of the present invention comprises a support member having a swing arm pivotally connected thereto at an angle. A cable retainer means having two bores therein for retaining the cables is pivotally mounted on the swing arm. The angle between the support member and swing arm is such that when the bow is drawn the distance between the cables, which are contained in the cable retaining means, and the plane of bowstring travel is less than the distance between the cables and that plane when the bow is at rest.

Abstract: An archery bow having an improved, laterally adjusted grip comprising a thumb side plate and a finger side plate moveable with respect to each other, and at least one adjustment insert located between the thumb side plate and the finger side plate.

Abstract: In a metal suitcase (1) consisting of two suitcase halves (2, 4), each having a broad side (6a,6b), two opposing narrow sides (8a, 8b), an upper side (10a, 10b) and a standing surface (12a, 12b). The suitcase halves(2,4), in the closed condition, engaging each other by a frame(22) which extends along the narrow side(8a, 8b), the upper side (10a, 10b) and the standing surface(12a, 12b). The suitcase halves(2,4) are pivotally connected to each other in the standing surface(12a, 12b). It is provided that each suitcase half(2,4) is formed by two single piece wall elements(14a, 14b, 16a, 16b).
