Abstract: A system for anchoring an outer periphery of a beach blanket to the ground or sand is disclosed. The blanket is anchored by a plurality of stakes which are manually insertable into the ground. A tether fastens the stake to the outer periphery of the blanket so that the stakes are not separated from the blanket when not in use.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing the shell of a hard boiled egg having a main body portion in the general configuration of an egg and having a thin wedge gently shaped leading edge for insertion between the cooked egg white and the surrounding membrane and shell. A number of fluid outlets are disposed in the leading edge and are adapted to communicate with a source of pressure fluid. And valve means are disposed between the outlets and the source of pressure fluid for admitting pressure fluid to the outlets for injecting the fluid between the cooked egg white and the adjacent membrane and shell to effectively separate the membrane and shell from the cooked egg white.

Abstract: An article carrier for a vehicle top capable of being loaded in a lowered position adjacent the side of the vehicle while one end portion of the carrier is typically supported against the ground and the other end is pivotally and slidable mounted in a position of the assembly mounted on the vehicle top. The loaded portion of the carrier is then disposed on the top of the vehicle by tilting the inclined loaded portion to slide to the desired position in the position mounted on the vehicle top. The carrier assembly is unloaded by reversing the foregoing steps.
