  • Publication number: 20240253167
    Abstract: Welding plates and a welding system are provided. A welding plate comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises a plurality of recesses. Each recess comprises an elastomer configured to compress under a force and a tip. A proximal end of the tip is in contact with the elastomer. The elastomer has a durometer rating less than a predetermined threshold. The second portion may be mounted to the first portion. The second portion has a plurality of first openings. Each first opening corresponds to a recess. A respective tip extends through a respective first opening. Each tip is slidably mounted within the welding plate. Each tip has a central opening forming a welding channel.

  • Publication number: 20090249678
    Abstract: The decoy structure is formed of a central upper spine and lateral ribs, with a support rod resiliently attached to the approximate midpoint of the spine. The lower end of the support rod has a weighted base. A removable flexible cover is patterned to resemble the object game, and is open at the bottom. This allows the ribs to be curled inwardly toward one another with their distal ends and lower portions of the cover overlapping to reduce the structure diameter for compact storage. The support rod swings rearwardly through the open bottom of the structure, allowing the decoy to be stored in a small diameter tube. The decoy is quickly deployed by withdrawing it from its tube and tossing it to the desired location. The weighted base deploys downwardly, with aerodynamic drag holding the body above the base as it lands to orient the decoy properly in the field.
