Abstract: A crescent shaped seating device having a posterior outer curvature and an anterior inner curvature conforming to the natural curvature of the body when in a seated position. The seating device is continuously formed from a multi-element alloy balanced polyurethane semi-rigid material which produces a microcellular core with a tough textured exterior skin integrally formed with the core. Symmetrically arranged, mirror image at least two lateral support means provide additional padding, keep a user centered on the seating device and provide lateral support to the user. An internal frame is encased by and reinforces the seating device. Receiving means are fixedly attached to the internal frame, extend to the lower surface of the seating device and are removably attached to attaching rails. A light system renders the seating device highly visible.

Abstract: A retractable carrying device that effectively positions an object snugly against a user's body allowing the user to carry the object from their shoulder for long periods of time without stress and irritation. The retractable carrying device maintains tension on receiving means thereby preventing undesirable noise, and also automatically and tensionally adjusts when the retractable carrying device is utilized as a stabilizing aid. The retractable carrying device is constructed with a first elongated flexible securing means, a second elongated flexible securing means, and a retractable mechanism, the retractable mechanism being enveloped by shielding means. The retractable mechanism has elastic properties and is of the type that can be stretched or extended when an opposing directional force is applied to the retractable mechanism, thereby increasing the effective length of the retractable mechanism, and which will then return or retract to its original length when the opposing directional force is released.

Abstract: A transfer device designed to reposition and to move heavy filled bulk containers and bags ninety degrees from their original position without lifting the heavy filled bulk container or bag. The transfer device is designed with a moveable upper frame structure that contains a plurality of spaced apart groups of rollers providing a pair of elongated openings. The transfer device also has an inner fixed frame that contains a pair of transfer conveyors, in the preferred embodiment, exposed in the pair of elongated openings whenever the moveable upper frame structure drops downwardly. This permits the pair of transfer conveyors to transfer the container weight from the rollers and to carry the weight of the filled bulk container previously resting on the plurality of rollers. The pair of transfer conveyors then move the filled bulk container from the transfer device in a direction ninety degrees from the original direction that the container was traveling on the rollers of the upper frame.

Abstract: An electrical plug removal device for use with electrical plugs of the type having an electrical cord, a cord cap or plug, and electrically conductive spaced apart blades or prongs, the electrically conductive spaced apart blades being plugged into an electrical outlet or receptacle. Many people remove an electrical plug from an electrical outlet by simply taking hold of the electrical cord and pulling on the electrical cord to remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet. This action results in damage to the electrical cord or to the electrical plug itself that may lead to electric shock or electrocution of the person removing an electrical plug in this manner, or may lead to an electrical fire. The electrical plug removal device is constructed from thin non-conductive semi-flexible material designed to be used with a variety of electrical plugs having different types of cord caps and different shapes, configurations and numbers of electrically conductive spaced apart blades or prongs.

Abstract: A telescope inner tube locking device and method for positively locking the telescope inner tube in it's previously aligned position. The locking is accomplished by using a biased locking screw which operates to apply a force against the inner tube of the telescope while the windage and elevation adjustment screws on the telescope are moved. Thereafter, the biased locking screw locks the inner tube against the windage and elevation adjustment screws. In a modification of the preferred embodiment, the inner tube of the telescope may also be locked by using a locking screw constructed similarly to the elevation or windage screws in combination with a separate spring bias. The separate spring bias will apply a force against the windage and elevation screws of the telescope and the locking screw will lock the inner tube in place. The tube may also be locked by a third locking screw without using a bias.

Abstract: A new and novel transfer device of the type used to move heavy filled bulk containers from a location outside of the transfer device to a position within the transfer device and above a base footprint of the transfer device where the filled bulk container can then be evacuated. The transfer device is constructed so that the frame is not perpendicular to the surface or substrate on which it is positioned. A heavy filled bulk container located outside the frame work of the transfer device can then be lifted by the transfer device without creating overturning and uplifting moments on the transfer device. When the filled bulk container is then moved to a position inside the framework and above the base foot print, the base footprint operates to maintain load stability on the frame of the transfer device.
