  • Publication number: 20240132177
    Abstract: A bottom bracket assembly with interconnected axle and crank arms. Each end of the axle has a plurality of angled surfaces and a recess formed with a depth through at least the axle perimeter and at least partially around the perimeter of the axle. Each crank arm has a slot formed a distance along the length such that the end of the crank arm is separated into two deflectable jaws. A bore is formed orthogonal to the slot and a fastener is installed in the bore, wherein the fastener has a length to span the slot in the crank arm to engage both deflectable jaws. The fastener has a shank radius that extends to a depth of the recess. Removal of the crank arm from the axle end is opposed when the fastener is in the bore.

  • Patent number: 7788838
    Abstract: A waterfowl decoy has a body with a motor rotatably driving a shaft. A support rod is movably and eccentrically connected to the shaft. The support rod extends outwardly through an orifice in the body, rotation of the shaft causing the support rod to move inwardly and outwardly of the body through the orifice, and to swing upwardly and downwardly about the orifice. A foot on the outer end of the support rod performs a kicking action when the decoy floats in water. There may be two support rods extending through the belly portion of the waterfowl and reciprocating out of phase with each other.
