Abstract: An improved wrist band for potable liquids is provided, the wrist band comprising an annular elastic container for maintaining a potable fluid such as a sports drink, ingestible medicine or the like to be worn on the wrist, for instance during jogging. In a presently preferred embodiment, the unique flexible annular container may further comprise an integral nipple element for the contained liquid to be dispensed from the container. Accordingly, in this embodied form the nipple closure is disposed at a mid-section on the outer wall of the annular container at a location to permit easy access to the mouth of the wearer. The material for fabricating the unique wrist band may be selected from non-toxic water proof materials, having sufficient elongation to break characteristics so that the inventive container may be easily slipped on the wrist over the hand of the user but when once positioned cannot be easily displaced except by purposeful exertion.

Abstract: The invention is a bar chord machine for stringed musical instruments with frets. The machine has a generally longitudinal frame made of two parallel spaced-apart rods with clamps for securing the frame next to and generally parallel to the neck of the stringed instrument. One rod acts as a pivot point for a plurality of lever presses which extend perpendicularly from the rod in spaced apart relationship out over the top of the fingerboard of the instrument. The other rod acts as a pivot stop for the lever presses, and as an attachment point for springs connected to the lever presses which bias them away from the fingerboard. The lever presses have a channel in their central underside for receiving a presser bar which is pivotally connected to the lever press and spring biased away from it. The presser bar has a pad on its bottom surface for pressing down uniformly on the instrument's strings near a fret.
