Abstract: This invention provides a surface mounted collapsible mooring cleat and a housing that is routed and adapted to contain a fixed pin and a collapsed mooring cleat. The cleat comprises a top portion having generally opposed extending arms, and a bottom portion mounted on the pin and being rotatable about the pin whereby the cleat may be rotated from a non-use position within the housing to a use position extending above the housing.

Abstract: This invention provides a front-loaded washer comprising a top panel and a washer tub adapted to rotate on a horizontal axis, wherein at least a portion of the top panel of the washer comprises a tank, the tank being adapted for storing water from a desired rinse cycle and returning the stored water to the tub for use in a wash cycle.

Abstract: This invention provides a portable jig-saw puzzle work board comprising a rectangular, four-sided open frame having a fitted bottom interior work surface and a removable fitted transparent shatter-proof window that is securely and releasably positionable relative to the work surface such that puzzle pieces are held in place on the work surface when the window is in place and the position of the work board is changed.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved automatic processing system and process for handling delicate objects in a controlled, low particulate atmosphere, and an improved method for constructing such apparatus. This system is particularly useful in the wet processing of semiconductor wafers, integrated circuits and similar delicate electronic devices. This invention also relates to semiconductor wafers, integrated circuits and similar delicate electronic devices produced by the above processing system and process.

Abstract: A blade for an arrow broadhead wherein each tooth of a serrated cutting edge is pointed toward the point of the broadhead and each tooth is sharpened.

Abstract: This invention provides a paint stripping composition comprising N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and lower alkyl ethers of propylene glycol and dipropylene glycol. The composition does not include any toluene, halogenated hydrocarbons, acids, caustics or waxes and is not harmful to a wide variety of substrates.

Abstract: This invention provides a fishing scent delivery system comprising an inflatable bladder, a means for instilling a fishing scent material in said bladder under pressure and a means for allowing said fishing scent material to be released in the vicinity of a fishing lure at a desired, controlled rate.

Abstract: This invention provides an auxiliary side view mirror module comprising a casing configured to slidably fit over at least a portion of a mounted side view mirror and wherein the casing is supported on the side view mirror by sliding opposed channel sections over opposed edges of the side view mirror mounting, the casing including an auxiliary mirror supported alongside and co-planar with the side view mirror and further including means adapted to adjust the casing to fit side view mirror housings of different depths or thicknesses and to reduce vibrations.

Abstract: The present invention provides a feeding tube adapter for enteral feeding tubes that comprises a central passageway having an exit port having an inside diameter smaller than the exit port inside diameter of an enteral feeding tube and constructed to provide a Venturi effect on material passing through the adapter thereby inhibiting blockage when feeding formulas or medications are infused therein. The adapter is advantageously constructed in the form of a Y-Port for ease of irrigating.

Abstract: A combination bow hoist and arrowhead wrench comprising a flexible cord securely attached to a substantially rigid body having means to compactly and securely store the flexible cord, means for securely holding a bow for raising the bow to an elevated position and wrench means for attaching arrowheads to arrow shafts.

Abstract: The present invention provides a Jejunocath comprising a novel removable surgical fixed pad adapted to be fastened to the bowel wall and to the anterior abdominal wall, thereby holding the catheter in place and preventing leaking from the bowel into the peritoneal cavity. The invention also provides a unique adapter that inhibits catheter blockage of undissolved medications and feeding formulas, provides for ease of removal of trapped undissolved matter in the adapter and for high adhesion in the connection between the adapter and catheter, thereby preventing leaks and unintended removal of a universal "Y" port from the catheter.
