Abstract: A protective bridle for waterskiing includes a handle connected to a pair of ski lines, the lines being joined at a point. The handle and lines together define a generally triangular region. The bridle includes a barrier which fills out substantially all of the triangular region, and thus prevents a limb, or other body part, from passing through the bridle in the event of a fall. The bridle may also include a flat plate, connected to the lines, and located within the triangular region. The flat plate stabilizes the bridle, and tends to prevent the bridle from spinning if the bridle is dropped into the water. The invention also includes a waterski line having sections of differing elasticities, enabling a student waterskier to train using a line that does not stretch excessively.

Abstract: A pillow includes a first body portion and a continuous second body portion that extends from the first body portion. The first body portion includes a top edge and a bottom edge connected by a first side edge and a second side edge. The second body portion extends continuously from the top edge to the bottom edge, and continuously between the first and second side edges. The first body portion is substantially rectangular-shaped. The second body portion defines at least one recess, wherein the recess is bordered by a continuous sidewall formed by the second body portion. The recess sidewall extends arcuately from at least one of the first side edge and the second side edge. The pillow also includes an axis of symmetry that extends from the top edge to the pillow bottom edge.

Abstract: A pillow supports a person's head while the person sleeps on their side and does not induce any pressure to a person's face. The pillow includes a body which has a first body portion and a second body portion extending from the first body portion. The first body portion is substantially rectangular-shaped and provides a base for the second body portion. The second body portion defines at least one recess and is positioned such that a plurality of recesses extend from the sides of the pillow towards a lower section of the second body portion.

Abstract: A length of elastic tubing carries a tool chuck key inserted at a free end of the tubing. The tubing is provided at its remaining end with a mounting arrangement for clamped engagement with the electrical cord serving a chuck equipped power drill. The elastic tubing permits the key and the mounting arrangement to be in frictional engagement with tubing end segments.
