Abstract: A racially generic, gender neutral doll body that can be transformed into a person specific stuffed doll by the placement of a photographic image insert into the space between the stuffing and a bonnet of said doll body, to thereby cover over the stuffing formerly visible within the opening of the bonnet.

Abstract: A light weight removably attachable support for a laptop/notebook computer which when attached to the underside of the base of the computer will permit the computer to glide a short distance from one person to another when the computer is nudged or pushed slightly across a table top. The support is preferably an annular member with a series of spaced feet thereupon. Each foot has a pad adhesively attached thereto, which pad has a low coeficient of friction. The support may be attached by Velcro.RTM. tabs or strips to the underside of the computer. One piece and interlocking multicomponent units are envisioned.

Abstract: Vitaminized air fresheners and room deodorizers are disclosed which permit occupants to directly receive and enjoy the benefits of vitamins with little or no effort intra-nasally. A method for the continuous release of a vitamin containing composition for the delivery of discrete droplets intra nasally absorbed vitamins such as, but not limited to A, C, and D is also disclosed.

Abstract: A process and apparatus is disclosed for the preparation of individual quick frozen bars, to be united to form a frozen precursor (the product of the invention) for the preparation of a frozen dessert and more particularly a masticated banana frozen dessert. Uniform flavor is achieved by control of the size and number of the respective individual bars to be laminated together. Uniform portion control in the machine that prepares the frozen dessert is achieved by the use of similar sized segments of the precursor sandwich formed by the lamination of individual frozen bars. The apparatus includes molds that may be individual or they may be formed together into an integrated multi-mold tray for use in the apparatus.

Abstract: An annularly configured device for use on each earthquake restrainer cable of a bridge, which device, will deform due to its internal configuration upon the occurrence of an earthquake, if the earthquake stresses the bridge cable with which the device is associated excessively. The result of the stress is a visual indication of the cable's elongation as manifested by a "crowning" of the annular indicator and a shortening of its length. The specific configuration required of the annular member is one of a reduced thickness section of the interior wall, with tapered edges leading to the main cross section of the annular member.

Abstract: An attention grabber or attention focusing device to serve as a point of eye contact for the party whose photo is to be taken, which device is removably mountable to any type of camera. Various embodiments of the device all feature a common base such that a plurality of these can be interchangeably used on the camera. The base is disposable in a receiver, which receiver can be removably or permanently affixed to a camera body. Each device includes at least one of two attention directing elements, selected from sound and light, which elements are disposed within a head section attached to an elongated cylindrical base.

Abstract: The gripping football shirt is comprised of lycra, cotton, nylon, polypropylene or spandex blends with neoprene strips mounted on the inside of the anatomical arms. Then neoprene strips give a player a non-slip grip upon the football during retrieving and possession. The shirt also allows for increased protection against skin abrasions while playing on natural and artificial surfaces.

Abstract: A coordination kit for choosing suitable fabrics, paints, wall coverings, window treatments, fabrics for chairs etcetera, rugs and other floor coverings to achieve a desired decorator effect. The kit includes at least two nomographs, mounted to a substrate, and numbering up to a number equal to the number of elements of the total decoration effect that the user desires to choose. Each nomograph (nomogram), includes a rotatable upper layer having at least two windows, which overlies a lower layer having viewable segments, each of which segments has a plurality of cells, all of which cells contain a set of predetermined generally accepted color spectrum specimens, from either the entire color spectrum or a portion thereof, which specimens are used in the selection of the coordinated decorator effect desired. The specimens may be from but not limited to actual or photographic representations of tile, fabric, paint, rugs and other aspects of a room's decor.

Abstract: An apparatus for the metered delivery of beneficial insects such as but not limited to Trichogramma adaptable for mounting on a tractor, airplane, or a backpack blower carried by ground personnel. The apparatus employs a binder injection system for impact upon the metered beneficial insects in a moving airstream for delivery to specific targets. The process of delivery constitutes the controlled metering of a desired amount of a beneficial insect into an airstream for impact by a measured amount of a binder solution such that the insects become coated, after which the insects are then delivered to their target area by a high velocity airstream.

Abstract: A terminal section for a crossbeam attachable to a vertical column having a plurality of keyhole apertures, by such terminal section, as employed in rack storage systems, which terminal section features a pair of vertically spaced studs with a safety lock disposed through the terminal section therebetween. The safety lock includes a handle portion connected by a stud segment to a latch which is oppositely directed from the handle, such that when the studs and such latch are disposed in a trio of keyhole apertures of the vertical column, and when the handle is disposed downward the latch is upward whereby disengagement can not transpire until the handle is pointed up, and the latch down to permit separation of the terminal section from the vertical column.

Abstract: A storage shed of a height less than that of an adult person, and which is accessed through a front door or ramp, when the roof portions are in an open supported position. The shed is intended for use in locations where local regulations prevent the placement of buildings that exceed the height of a residential fence. The superstructure of the shed; namely, the walls and roof portion(s) is formed of metal frame members which are covered over with a plywood or vinyl siding. The roof covering may be corrugated galvanized sheeting, or wood optionally covered by shingles as well as transparent or translucent plastic. The roof may be opened and closed by the operation of a series of water operated or electrically operated rams.

Abstract: A valve actuator for an automatic fluid control valve actuator which fits an Ames Company predetermined size valve housing and which is also suitable for use in a Cla-Val automatic fluid control valve housing of the same predetermined size and which valve actuator is interchangeable with the actuator of each respective manufacturer. The valve actuators range from 4 inches up to 12 inches and can be used as the original actuator of a set size within the range in either manufacturer's housing. The actuator includes a main body disposed on a shaft with a diaphragm and a diaphragm disk plate adjacent the main body on the shaft, all of which are retained by nuts threadedly engaged to the shaft.

Abstract: A foldable stand or support for a digital satellite receiver dish antenna, which has a trio of legs, which legs attach to one end of a neck portion of the device, and upon which neck there is attached at the second end a pivoting head adapted to receive the dish antenna. Two of the legs rotate from a first stowed position to a second in use position to provide minimal storage requirements during periods of nonuse. A weight stabilization means is also provided.
