Abstract: A procedure for an umbrella-assisted departure on a rainy day through a door opening used to exit from a vehicle, in which an open umbrella is clamped to the top edge of the door so that the site of attachment correlates to the bottom hand-held location on the umbrella rod at which it is gripped during normal use, so that the head room under the umbrella during use is necessarily also the head room during departure, thereby obviating a crouching inconvenience in the departure procedure.
Abstract: The invention relates to the setting of poured concrete and the need to avoid air pockets and voids within the setting slurry. At least one reinforcing rod, and preferably a grid of rods, is embedded in the poured concrete. The setting slurry is vibrated by vibrating the rod or grid. A vibrator receives the protruding end of the rod and is vibrated to vibrate the rod.
Abstract: In an IV delivery system, a flow control knob which is rotated to establish camming contact with pistons that operate valves, as a substitute improvement for finger manipulation of the valves, which is prone to switch selection error.
Abstract: An elastic cord connects a tethered ball which is lightweight and of rubber to a tab on a child's fielding glove so when thrown it bounces back, wherein the connection to the tab is a slip knot which is readily untied and the glove then used for catching a regulation baseball.
Abstract: A glove of stretch construction material so that one size fits all, in which the stretch is used to advantage for its utility to adjust for the discrepancy between the natural and glove construction positions of the thumb and the glove is therefore ambidextrous, so the glove used as a pair has four displays, in which an inside color surface is one, an outside contrasting color surface is two, and contrasting colors on one hand and then on the other hand are three and four, the change of the color surfaces being achieved by turning the glove inside out.
Abstract: A dwelling eaves vent apparatus having a diameter-increasing passageway component to compensate for the impediment to flow unavoidably caused by a screen over the outlet to atmosphere of the component, and wherein the component is characterized by being embodied with a conical shape which maintains directional guidance to discharging air/gas content to thereby contribute to obviating turbulence during discharge through the screen.
Abstract: An organizer serving as a safeguard for electrical cords during charging intervals of electrically-operated consumer products provided by a compartment having internally a strip of uniformly spaced apart female sockets electrically connected to a power company wall socket and externally the consumer products' charging components similarly uniformly spaced apart, wherein the correlation of the uniform spacing maintains the electrical cords in neatly coiled conditions without entanglement with each other within the compartment.
Abstract: A water bottle feeder for pet dogs operated by contact thereagainst of the pet, the bottle being supported on a stand that uses the water in the bottle as ballast to counteract any tipping as may be caused by the pet contact, and supports the bottle at selected heights to facilitate feeding to dogs in all popular domesticated species classifications.
Abstract: The function of a clenched heavy duty staple removal from closure flaps of a cardboard container is added by a structural modification of a hooking configuration machined in the distal end of a screwdriver and a modification in the mode of use thereof in which a clenched staple end is engaged by being hooked and remains thusly engaged during an applied pulling force which unclenches the opposite staple end so that the staple ends simultaneously completely disengage to obviate only partial disengagement as now frequently occurs.
Abstract: CD holders with musical content are within convenient reach in a vehicle armrest, and this convenience is used to advantage for a CD holder commingled with the musical variety, but with a substantial first-aid contents; thus, first-aid treatment in a vehicle is made as readily accesible as reaching for a CD.
Abstract: In a bag configuration, a sanitary cover of clear plastic construction material to be placed over a handgrip of a dentist's overhead light that has an imprint, such as an arrow, on a rear bag panel in the middle of unsealed edges that in use bound an opening through which the handgrip is projected into the bag, in which the user is instructed to rub apart the unsealed edges at the observed site of the arrow, and thus neutralizes a static electricity clinging together of the unsealed edges that otherwise would be difficult to separate.
Abstract: In a method of exhausting an interior room to atmosphere through a corrugated conduit, the use of a connector which is attached to the corrugated conduit by tongues seated in the recesses of the conduit corrugations as a result of a telescoping together of the connector and conduit, the tongues preventing opposite direction untelescoping and obviating leakage-promoting crushing of the corrugations as might result from using a clamp.
Abstract: An underarm perspiration pad that straddles the lower edge of a sleeve opening positioning one inner semi-circular ply on one side within the garment and another outer semi-circular ply on the other side within the sleeve, and in the outer ply there are radially oriented unfolded pleats which in response to pivotal arm movements assume folded conditions and thus offer a least resistance impeding these arm movements.
Abstract: A street sign sealed against weather elements during outdoor use consisting of an assemblage of panels, one of which is of unnotched and inwardly notched word-forming letter two portions of width of its acrylic plastic construction material, and peripheral LEDs optically arranged to illuminate by impingement said letters of said notched width portion rendered visible through said unnotched width portion which serves as a weather seal for said illuminated display.
Abstract: To effectively clear for a skier preparatory to a downhill skiing run other skiers that otherwise might be in harm's way, use is made of a metal rail of a rectangular shape in cross section marking the beginning of the ski run on which the skier balances on one leg using a bracket extending laterally of an outboard side of a ski boot that tracks along the top of the rail, wherein the skier's two skis are in the ready to complete the skiing run when the skier dismounts from the end of the rail onto the ski slope.
Abstract: A Little League sized baseball bat of nominal cost to manufacture with an adult baseball bat simulated gripping handle providing the appearance of a cost prohibitive spirally wound tape, but consisting actually of an elastomeric sleeve about the gripping handle with spiral grooving, to thusly contribute to the nominal cost, and simulating the appearance of applied tape.
