Abstract: A handcart for unrolling wire is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, one leg of the handcart is hinged to permit a roll of wire to be loaded or unloaded onto a horizontal spindle on the cart without lifting the roll. The axles of the wheels of the cart are offset from the spindle such that tipping the cart lifts the roll of wire from the surface on which it is resting and permits the wire to payout from the roll as the cart is rolled across the ground.

Abstract: An animal restraint and carrier is disclosed which comprises a generally rectangular case hinged to permit at least one side to open and an adjoining side having an opening sized to permit an animal enclosed in the case to extend its head and neck. An optional clamping device surrounding the opening may be closed on the neck to restrain the animal's head to facilitate treating or cleaning ears, eyes or teeth and the giving of oral medications. The case is preferably sized such that when closed the animal may stand comfortably, but not turn around within the case. One or more sides of the case may be equipped with hinged openings to permit access to certain areas of an enclosed animal's body—e.g., the back.

Abstract: A cooking basket holder comprises a hand gripping section that allows a user to hold the cooking basket holder by inserting four fingers and grasping thus providing a firm grip. An elongated hook section is cylindrical and is tapered having a smaller diameter at the insertion end and gradually increasing in diameter longitudinally. A locking notch is formed at the distal end therein and has a smaller diameter than the insertion end. Additionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, semi-circular arms are provided to add extra stability. In another embodiment of the present invention, the insertion end is surrounded by flexible spring leaves to lock the cooking basket holder in place. In yet another embodiment of the present invention, a mechanical catch arm is provided to lock the cooking basket holder.
Abstract: An easy-installed auxiliary brake control system for driving practice of an automobile by means of an auxiliary brake actuator and two-component cables. The cables have an outer sheath portion and an inner cable portion. It connects an auxiliary brake actuator to a brake arm of the automobile. The auxiliary brake actuator rests on a floor of a passenger compartment of the automobile, without necessity of being secured to it. When an instructor acts on the auxiliary brake actuator, the brake arm is actuated through relative movement between the inner cable portion and the outer sheath portion of the cables. This system is significantly cheaper than prior arts, especially for installation, and damages on the automobile for installation are minimized.
Abstract: A bottle contains at least one oxygen chamber allowing a user to breathe pure oxygen by placing their mouth and nose in a facemask contoured to fit the users face. The bottle also holds water so the user can drink clean pure water as well. The oxygen is pressurized allowing more oxygen to be stored in the chambers and to aid the user in getting the oxygen into his or her lungs. The present invention allows a user to drink water and breathe pure oxygen in a safe and convenient manner.
Abstract: A squirrel skinning device and method that makes skinning and cleaning a squirrel easy and safe. The squirrel skinning device consists of two handle sections that pivot like scissors to force jaws together to hold a squirrel by the tail bone to allow easy removal of the skin and to prepare the meat for use. A user stands on a base portion with one foot and another smaller base section that is positioned above the lower base with the other foot. The user's weight provides the torque that securely holds the squirrel in the jaws while pulling upward to skin the squirrel.
