Abstract: The invention sets forth a bag for an animal waste collection device. The bag is formed from a blank of plastic material, and comprises a middle section panel, a back panel, and a pocket front flap section. The bag defines a collection pocket formed by the front panel and back panel to accommodate waste collected from an animal waste collection device. The animal waste collection device collects animal waste from the bag at the pocket adapted to receive an animal waste collection device and the collection pocket accepts collected waste from the pocket adapted to receive an animal waste collection device.

Abstract: A motorized surfboard device can be ridden by a rider comprises a surfboard having an underside surface and a top side surface. The motorized surfboard device also includes a motive device mounted on the underside surface of the surfboard. The motive device comprises a motor and a rotatable propeller, in which the motor is connected to the rotatable propeller for rotating the same. The propeller comprises a cylindrical body with a surface configuration including at least one groove in a surface of the rotatable propeller body, wherein the at least one grove defines raised ridges between the at least one groove, the edges of the grooves being rounded, the at least one comprising a depth. The motorized surfboard device including a control apparatus having at least one of a foot-controlled switch, a hand-operated and controlled steering column, and a hand controlled switch. The control apparatus controlling at least one of on/off operation of the motor and variable speed of the motor.

Abstract: The invention sets forth a resonance enhancing device for a microphone. The resonance enhancing device is adapted to direct a user's sound waves to a spherical microphone section of the microphone. The resonance enhancing device comprises a body. The body comprises a first end and a second end. The first end is designed for encircling a portion of the microphone and the second end of the body is designed for defining an opening that is disposed proximate the spherical microphone section of the microphone. Thus, when a user sings into the resonance enhancing device and the sound waves of the user are directed by the resonance enhancing device to the spherical microphone section of the microphone, thereby altering the resonance of the sound waves at the spherical microphone section of the microphone.

Abstract: A timer-thermal shutoff apparatus can control and protect an electrical appliance. The timer-thermal shutoff apparatus comprises a housing; male connector extending from the housing; female receptacle to receive a male connector from one or more electrical appliances; timer device; and thermal safety device. The timer device and thermal safety device are connected in series with the male connector and female connector receptacle to form a current path. The electrical appliance is in series with the timer device and thermal safety device. The timer device can control off-on switching and cycles for the electrical apparatus connected to the timer-thermal shutoff apparatus, and the thermal safety device providing thermal overload protection if at least one of the timer-thermal shutoff apparatus and electrical appliance reach a temperature so the thermal safety device opens the current path to protect at least one of the timer-thermal shutoff apparatus and electrical appliance.

Abstract: A ladder scaffold device attaches to a ladder to define a scaffold and work area for a user of the ladder scaffold device. The ladder scaffold device is capable of being inserted into at least one rung of the ladder. The ladder scaffold device comprises a platform; a platform frame, in which the platform frame comprises a first back frame member, a second frame member, first and second side frame members; and a front frame member; and a plurality of support members. The plurality of support members comprises platform support members and additional support members, in which the platform support members are capable of being inserted into a rung of the ladder. The first back frame member extends into a rung of the ladder and the second back frame member extends into the rung of the ladder that the first back frame member extends. Each of the side support members is capable of being connected to one of the first and second back frame members.

Abstract: An animal waste collection device allows collection of waste into a bag without soiling a user. The animal waste collection device comprises an elongated handle that comprises an actuator assembly at one end; a pick-up and collection device disposed at the other end of the elongated handle and comprising an elongated cylindrical member and a closure member to define a slot-like aperture in which the closure member is adapted to be moved between an open and closed position to provide access to the interior of the pick-up and collection device through the slot-like aperture; a linkage operably connected at a first end to the actuator assembly and extending between the actuator assembly and the pick-up and collection device; a transmission element operably connected to the linkage at the pick-up and collection device.

Abstract: A safety device for a ladder, as embodied by the invention, is applied to a ladder that comprises side rails and a plurality of rungs interconnecting the side rails. The safety device comprises a plurality of side safety supports that are stored in their stored position in one rung of the plurality of rungs. The side safety supports are extendible from the one rung to a stabilizing extended position in which the side safety stabilizers are in contact with a supporting surface. Thus, the ladder safety device provides lateral stabilizing support for the ladder.

Abstract: A dethatching device comprising a dethatching shaft assembly. The dethatching shaft assembly comprises at least one shaft and a plurality of flexible, non-metallic dethatching lines. Each of the plurality of flexible, non-metallic dethatching lines extend from the shaft and rotate with the shaft to engage the ground and loosen and remove any thatch on the ground and in the lawn.
