  • Patent number: 9533237
    Abstract: A harness for receiving a special effects squib charge includes: a substantially planar base bound by opposing first and second surfaces joined at a perimeter; a tubular sidewall extending from the first surface of the base to form a tubular receptacle; an inward extension from the tubular sidewall defining a receiving aperture, the receiving aperture sized to be elastically deformed to allow insertion of the squib charge; and the distance between the base and the inward extension sized to be substantially equal to the axial length of the squib charge. A bullet hit device includes the harness, and a kit is for assembly and/or use of the harness as a bullet hit device.

  • Publication number: 20140101859
    Abstract: A foldable lap seat including a back support, two side walls, a bottom support and multiple straps. The foldable lap seat is well suited for use with a lap child on an airplane, in a chair, at a table, in a stadium seat, on a train or bus in a church pew or in other situations. Embodiments include a set of functionally distinct but interconnected panels which are permanently connected together along certain junctions and which also may be selectively connected together or disconnected along various edges. Thus, seat embodiments can be configured in at least three distinct ways. The foldable lap seat may be configured for use by connecting certain edges together; configured a substantially flat structure by disconnecting selected edges and the seat may be stored or transported when not in use in a very compact folded configuration.
