Abstract: A shotgun cartridge having a weighted wad for controlling the separation point between the wad and the shot load. The wad having a tail portion and a nose portion with the nose portion shifting the center of gravity of the wad axially forward away from the center of pressure compared to where the center of gravity would be if the nose portion was not weighted thereby controlling the shot load separation and enhancing the shot pattern.

Abstract: A shotgun cartridge having a weighted wad for controlling the separation point between the wad and the shot load. The wad having a tail portion and a nose portion with the nose portion shifting the center of gravity of the wad axially forward away from the center of pressure 5 compared to where the center of gravity would be if the nose portion was not weighted thereby controlling the shot load separation and enhancing the shot pattern.

Abstract: A sporting gun cartridge and wad therefor wherein such wad, generally taking the form of a shotshell wad for shotguns, for example, includes a first, forwardly oriented cylindrical portion and also a second, rearwardly oriented cylindrical portion, joining the first portion at a common partition juncture, wherein the side wall of the first portion is scored to provided a series of expandable and separable wall segments, spaced from the forward end of such first portion, whereby to afford relief from impaction of shot disposed within said first portion under firing conditions.

Abstract: Beverage delivery structure including a counter top with support structure and also an ice chest conveniently supplied proximate the counter top; the ice chest is provided with an insert structure containing a beverage delivery pumping unit and, thereabove, a well for receiving a series of beverage bottles; a primary source of a beverage constituent as well as beverage delivery structure are coupled to the intake and output ports of the pumping unit.

Abstract: A high volume beverage delivery structure or apparatus, preferably encased in a single self-contained unit, wherein the same includes a high-volume water line provided with a multiple-inlet junction or junction unit. Feeding such junction or junction unit are a series of suitably driven liquid supply pumps, connected together either unitarily or in tandem, for providing respective juices, syrups, concentrates, and/or other liquids or fluids to the pumps for supply thereof to the multiple-inlet junction unit interposed in the high volume water line. Suitable valving is provided for control of the respective pumping branches, and the system is designed in an over-all manner such as to accommodate any one of several concentrates, etc., which are to be additives to the water supply system.

Abstract: A beverage bar structure and system compromising essentially a self-contained unit which is releasably and selectively attachable to the ice chest of customary bar structure. The self contained unit includes a pumping unit provided a housing and, additionally, a beverage-container-receiving well upstanding from said pumping housing. Structure is provided for attaching the unit proximate the lip of the ice chest of the bar. The latter structure is designed to accommodate a variety of unit sizes relative to the dimensions of the ice chest. Juice and concentrate containers are coupled by suitable conduit to the unit for pumping thereby to a suitable beverage dispenser.

Abstract: A beverage dispenser unit constructed for coupling to a water feed conduit as well as a series of intake conduit leading to respective beverage containers, for processing and delivering the beverages, with water mixture, to a desired point. The dispenser unit includes a rectangular metal cabinet provided with a lid and having interiorly thereof a series of hydraulically driven pumps, driven by the pressure of the water feed line and constructed to draw into and deliver to the hand-held mixer/dispenser for juices or other beverages desired. A manifold is included which has both beverage and water lines connected to respective outlets of the individual pumps. Essentially, the pumps, conduit, and water connection, together with the dispenser system, are all contained within the metal rectangular cabinet of the unit, the latter being provided with an exterior nozzle retainer constructed for receiving the nozzle of the dispenser.

Abstract: A hand-manipulated device for mooring boats to docks, both of the same being provided with cleats, and the device comprising essentially an elongate spacer member having opposite end fittings each provided with an outer edge. These edges are recessed to provide a concave, cleat-receiving seat for proper positionment of the device. The device itself includes suitable apertures for receiving an elongate flexible member such as a cord that is loosely looped at the opposite ends of the device to loop over and engage the cleats. The cord is then pulled tight such that the loops tightly surround the cleat risers or posts, and the cord is itself fastened to a cleat provided the device so that the cord is maintained in top condition.
