  • Patent number: 9474931
    Abstract: A thumb exercise device for simulating the feel and action of backing a hammer of a firearm includes a thumb section, a grip section, and a middle section. The middle section interconnects the thumb section with the grip section. The middle section biases the thumb section away from the grip section. Wherein, when the grip section is held in the user's fingers similar to a grip of the firearm, the thumb section is oriented to approximate a user's extended thumb similar to the hammer of the firearm. Wherein, the user may grip the grip section with their fingers and depress the thumb section with their thumb. Whereby, the thumb exercise device simulates the feel and action of backing the hammer of the firearm.

  • Patent number: 5149113
    Abstract: A convertible stroller and car seat including a housing positioned below a seat portion for receiving a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels in retracted condition. An operating handle extends outwardly through the rear wall of the housing and is connected to a rotatable actuator disk from which connecting rods extend to respective wheel assemblies supporting the wheels. Movement of the handle from side to side causes the actuating disk to rotate, thereby either extending the wheels from the wheel housing or retracting the wheels into the wheel housing. One pair of diagonally opposed wheel carriers is adapted to pivot directly into and out of the wheel housing, and the remaining pair of diagonally opposed wheel carriers pivots into and out of the wheel housing and also rotate by 90.degree. so that the four wheels when fully extended each lie in parallel planes for ease of use of the stroller.
