Abstract: A manually operated seed transferring device that is portable, self-contained and simple to operate. The device consists of a barrel, a nib holder, and a nib. The barrel is hollow and acts as a reservoir for a liquid. The outside of the barrel is designed to be held comfortably in the fingers. The nib holder is attached to the barrel and is designed to hold the nib securely. The nib is of a material which absorbs liquids such as water which is conveyed from inside the barrel to the nib through capillary action and gravity. When the moist nib comes into contact with a seed the seed is attracted to the nib and can be transferred to a wet substrate such as moist planting media.

Abstract: An elastic clip that is functional, inexpensive to produce, requires no tools to use, and allows the user many options on how to use it. It can be used as an adjustable clip with a single elongated member and a keeper. It can be used to fasten together parallel parts with the use of a keeper. Finally, it can fasten together perpendicular members with the perpendicular member parallel to the bend in the nose taking the place of the keeper. Pinching the two handles together allows the user to insert the desired components into the elastic clip and releasing the two handles causes the handles to spring apart forcing the edges of the orifice to apply pressure to the elongated member pushing all the components toward the nose locking everything into an assembled relation.
