Abstract: An improved mail box structure incorporating existing Postal Service mail boxes for facilitating collection of mail contents thereof in a dry condition even in stormy weather and is comprised of an existing mail box of the self standing type and having internally thereof a mailbag holding frame for holding the mailbag in open position for receiving mail deposited through the existing mail receiving pivotal door chute, baffles extending downwardly from the mail box wall toward the mailbag holding frame for deflecting all received mail into the open mailbag held on the mailbag holding frame which is carried on a horizontally disposed slide structure fixed to the side walls of the mail box and positioned for slidably moving the mailbag holding frame with the mailbag held thereon forwardly through the existing mail collection door opening when the mail collection door is in open position.

Abstract: A hand portable and single hand operable device for picking up animal excrement and the like comprised of a pair of metal rods fixed close enough together at one end as V shaped extensions from a spring loop to form a handle portion for grasping with one hand about both rods which are deflectable toward each other by pressure of the hand. At the other end of each of the rods is a bag support member comprised of an elongated bag support wire loop formation having two substantially parallel width portions and two opposed length portions with the length portion farthest from the handle portion in each bag support loop formation being straight and parallel to each other and moveable toward each other into line contact with each other by deflection of the rods.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for producing and maintaining high purity water of a quality suitable for delicate laboratory analysis work.

Abstract: A baseball game including a gameboard having a baseball field design, four decks of cards and moveable pieces shaped as a baseball player. The decks of cards include a pitcher's deck, a batter's deck, a defense deck and a catcher's deck. The pitcher's deck comprises (a) strike cards which include an indicia designating infield or outfield and (b) ball cards. When a strike card is exposed, a batter card is exposed which may be a clean hit card, a ground ball card or a fly ball card. If a ground ball card or a fly ball card is exposed, the position on the batter card must match that of the strike card otherwise a strike is called. If the positions on the batter card and the pitcher card match, a defense card or catcher's card is exposed and the outcome of the hit ball is determined by the instructions on the defense card.

Abstract: A device for preventing the stealing of a motor vehicle of the type having a steering wheel mounted in front of a panel such as the instrument panel or dashboard of an automobile or motor boat.

Abstract: A fuel saving improvement in conventional home, commercial and public building heating furnaces comprising the inclusion of heat absorbing members such as stones on rod mesh trays in the normally substantial amount of unoccupied space above the furnace combustion chamber. The trays carrying the heat absorbing members are held, one above the other, by a metal support frame resting on the refractory material of the combustion chamber. The stones or other heat absorbing members are each at least three inches in cross sectional dimension and in spaced relation to each other. And the heat absorbing members in each tray are positioned above the respective open spaces between the stones in the next lower tray to cause a tortuous path for the heat and energy passing from the heating flame in the combustion chamber to the furnace flue opening. The heat absorbing members thereby absorb heat from the heating flames which would normally be lost to the flue opening during "ON" periods of the heating flame.

Abstract: An electronic calculator structure comprised of a flexible printed circuit on a thin flexible dielectric material base to which are fixed a low profile solid state computing and driving elements, a readout register and a low profile flexible diaphram type number and function key structure large enough for finger operation, a P-70 Rayovac class thin battery, and an ON-OFF switch, all coupled together in manner to form a thin flexible calculator structure suitable for many end product uses such as being housed between two layers of thin flexible vinyl to form one side of a thin flexible folder, the other side of which carries a pad or business form such as check book or bank deposit and withdrawal recording form to create thereby a thin, flexible, light, folder type calculator for comfortable pocket storage and ready access for on-the-spot use to solve mathematical problems.
