Abstract: A disposable spoon having a hollow main housing with a spoon that is releasably attached to the main housing. When the user places a food packet inside the main housing, the spoon pierces the food packet. A movable extruder actuator is operatively attached to an extruder blade. When the user slides the movable extruder actuator, the extruder blade compresses the food packet causing the contents of the food packet to extruded from the food packet and onto the spoon.

Abstract: A novelty item that can be applied to a person's skin and the item has a plurality of segments which are held in alignment by tabs.

Abstract: A ventilation device for automobiles having a screen which fits into the grooved portion of an automobile window opening so it can be moved adjustably up and down within the door. The screen is made from two layers, one of which has circular apertures and the other has openings made from horizontal and vertical members.

Abstract: A protective cover for cargo seals. The cover has two parts with intermating elements on the two parts, and a pair of apertures that can be aligned in the two parts. When the apertures are aligned a padlock hasp can be passed through the aligned apertures.

Abstract: A set of pliers that have a plurality of pins on the forward parts of the plier arms and removable blocks which have apertures that can be placed on selected ones of the pins. The blocks have teeth that can engage the teeth on a timing gear.

Abstract: A portable mounting system for a winch, which enables a standard winch to function to pull two objects closer together, without requiring the winch to be mounted to a vehicle.

Abstract: The invention concerns a syringe for administering medication to an animal. The syringe includes a handle that may be manually actuated to dispense medication to the animal. The syringe also includes a valve that controls the flow of medication both into and out of the syringe. A sensor device on the syringe monitors when the medication has been administered in order to inform any attached pump that the syringe may be refilled. An LED informs the user when the syringe has been filled with medication and is ready for the administration of medication to the animal.

Abstract: A training aid for teaching batters how to swing properly. The aid resembles a baseball bat which has a front portion which has been flattened, and an angled device has been attached to the handle. The angled portion has a flat portion which is not quite parallel with the flat portion on the front of the bat.

Abstract: A seal assembly which is secured to a rotating shaft and which seals around the shaft. The seal assembly has molded grooves adjacent to the shaft which grasp the shaft and prevent leakage.

Abstract: An electrode for the excision of a circular segment of an entire cervical canal. The electrode has a parallel wire, at one end, which can be rotated 360 degrees. This enables a single instrument to remove an entire cervical canal, instead of using different sized instruments.

Abstract: A decoy which has a head separate from the body and which has a spring device which attaches at one end to the ground and which attaches at another end to the head of the decoy to simulate a waterfowl feeding.

Abstract: A holder for an object such as a photograph or a calendar. The holder may include either three or four layers. If made of three layers, there is an object engaging non-slip layer, a layer with magnetic properties that bears against the non-slip layer and an outer transparent or clear layer. A pocket formed between layers is used to receive a corner of the object to be held. This pocket is formed between the non-slip layer and the outer transparent layer. If four layers are used in the construction of the holder, then the transparent layer is folded to extend to enclose both the magnetic layer and the non-slip layer to form a corner object receiving pocket between them. All holders may have a triangular shape with an opened hypotenuse side used to receive the edge of the object to be held. At lease two such holders are normally used to retain an object, although six holders, one at each corner of the object and two at mid length, may be used to provide for greater holding strength.

Abstract: A parking guide having both visual and auditory indicators to show a driver when a vehicle is properly positioned in a parking space.

Abstract: A board game such as checkers or chess in which one option would place mirrors so a player can only see his playing pieces in a mirror, while viewing his opponent's playing pieces directly. Another option would place mirrors so the player can only see his playing pieces directly while viewing his opponent's playing pieces in a mirror.

Abstract: A collapsible support frame having two side members attached to each other by at least one hinge and a retention ring which when placed on the side members secures a bag to the support frame in an open position. The two side members pivot with respect to each other to a preferred angle and the retention ring holds the side members together at the preferred angle. The support frame can be placed either upright or laid on the ground allowing the user to insert items in the bag in an easy fashion.

Abstract: An improved illuminable umbrella that automatically produces light on the apex of umbrella when in its open position. The hollow shaft (50) contains two electric wires (92, 94) that connects the conductive plates (32a, 32b, 44) at each end of hubs, to the power supply (66) at the stump of the umbrella, and the light emitting device (20) at the apex of umbrella. The conductive plates at each end of the hubs are aligned to contact when the pivotable hub slides, upward along the shaft, toward the stationary hub. When in contact, the electric circuitry is complete to activate the light emitting device. A manual controller (62) installed at the stump of the umbrella allows user to selectively turn off light emitting device when the umbrella is in open position.

Abstract: A pastry icing device that has a container into which icing can be placed. The container has an air bag at the bottom, which is operated by a motor, and which compresses the bag to force icing from the container or from an icing bag within the container.

Abstract: A stabilizing device having two elements. One of the elements is secured to an object, and the other element is secured to the first element to prevent the object from tipping over.
