Abstract: A foot-operated beer-keg pressurizer has a floor-based foot pump (1) with which air is pumped through a pressure tube (17) from a variably remote beer keg (2) to a keg faucet (9) that is attachable to conventional beer-keg connectors (6). A beer tube (8) extended from the keg faucet in the variably remote beer keg has a beer tap (7) that is preferably a squeeze or push-button type. Foot operation of the floor-based foot pump by a user or by a separate person frees both hands of a user for filling beer-drinking containers.

Abstract: An improved rack for forming fifteen pool balls into a compact triangular formation with the ball serving as the apex of the triangle lying over the white spot on the pool table. The rack includes a conventional oversized rack, a strip of resilient material such as rubber attached to the inside surface of the apex of the rack, an elongated pusher panel normally positioned against the inner surface of the rear wall of the rack, means including a pair of helical springs under tension for biasing the pusher panel against the inner surface of the rear wall of the rack, and a rear panel connected to the pusher panel and designed to apply pressure causing the pusher panel to move forward to push the fifteen pools balls into a compact triangular formation.

Abstract: A combination dog leash and non-injurios choke collar. The leash includes a six foot long strip of webbing with a clip-on device at one end of the strip for attachment to the dog's collar. At the other end of the strip of webbing is one half of a two part fixture whose other half is slidably strung onto the strip of webbing. The two parts of the fixture are designed to be easily joined together or separated by a pinching movement of the thumb and finger. A square of the webbing is sewn to the flat face of the strip of webbing about twelve inches from the end of the strip of webbing and between the two parts of the fixture. The restraining or choke collar is formed by wrapping the strip of webbing around the dog's neck and joining together the two part fixture. The collar cannot injure the dog due to the square of webbing sewn to the strip which prevents the collar from becoming small enough to actually injure the dog.
