Abstract: An orbital transmission comprising an input element connected to a first power source, a control element connected to a second power source and an output element connected to the control element whereby rotational power is transmitted by an orbiting gear in the output element. The orbital transmission functions based on the relationship of the speed of the orbit of the orbiting gear and the speed of rotation of the input shaft. When the orbiting gear makes one complete orbit in the same time that the input shaft makes one revolution, then the transmission is in neutral and no rotation will be imparted to the output shaft. When the orbiting gear makes less orbits in a unit of time than the input shaft makes revolutions in the same unit of time, the transmission will impart rotation in a first direction to the output shaft which may be forward.

Abstract: A bow string release device comprises a rod shaped into a ring with a curved tail. The ring portion is placed upon the archer's middle finger and positioned near the finger's first joint. The tail is placed to the front of the bowstring and hooked or grasped by the index finger. The bowstring is then pulled back and released by the index finger letting go of the tail.

Abstract: A garage floor covering comprising a floor, a base, two stops, a trough, and front and side panels. The floor is fixedly and removably engaged to a base. The base is inclined having a first end higher than a second end. The base has a trough for carrying off water and an inclined ramp leading onto the base. The base is made of a honey-comb geometric structure to provide a lightweight base capable of supporting a vehicle. The trough accepts a standard hose attachment at an outside exit of the trough. The floor of the platform has a raised textured pattern to provide traction and to channel water flow toward the trough. Stops are fixedly and removably engaged to the floor so that the automobile will be prevented from driving off the platform or striking the wall of the garage. The wedges may be positioned to stop the vehicle at a desired position and the position of the wedges may be changed for different vehicles.

Abstract: A bicycle trailer hitch employs an adjustably positioned universal hitch ball. The bicycle trailer hitch attaches to a hitch receiver mounted on the bicycle frame and encompasses the rear tire of the bicycle. The trailer hitch slides into the hitch brackets and is secured by clevis pins. Height adjustments between the hitch and the trailer are made with two “L” shaped brackets. The lower bracket has the ball joint attached. The trailer tongue is attached to the ball joint.

Abstract: An oil filter body with two protruding tabs positioned to rest flush with the top edge of the oil filter. The key is a plastic unit designed to fit over the top of the oil filter and the key has two male posts which correspond to and fit into the filter's protruding female tabs. The key has a handle-like grip providing the user with a secure and comfortable grasp on the tool.
