Abstract: The subject invention is a multipurpose art unit and workplace assembly for young children or adults for play and educational purposes, such assembly comprising a double-sided member having two opposing solid plant members, joined together at their upper edges, in an angular manner, such planar members having on their outer sides work surface upon which on can place a paper or similar materials for rendering art work thereon, with the inner spatial area between the conjoined and opposing planar members having means to hold finished work for drying purposes.

Abstract: The present invention is a toy travel clock that comprises: an input device configured to accept an estimated time of travel between a starting location and a destination; a distance travel calculator configured to compute an estimated distance traveled; and an output device configured to display an indication of the estimated distance traveled. The toy travel clock graphically displays the starting location, the destination, a hypothetical route connecting the starting location to the destination, and the indication of the distance traveled along the hypothetical route.

Abstract: The concept herein is focused on an apparatus centered on a sand and water table, as used by young children for play and educational purposes, such sand and water table comprising an upright table having a depressed container area, which is open at the top for access from above with an upper table perimeter portion around the upper edge of the depressed container area, into which table perimeter portion is formed a recessed channel area that has dual functions, one being to help prevent spillage of sand, water, or other substances from the depressed container area, with the additional concept including an interior lining member that is adapted to fit conformingly into the open depressed container area, with the liner having an upper opening edge which opening edge is provided with an outwardly extending flat ledge adapted to rest on an inner portion of the perimeter portion of such table with an outer partially looped portion affixed to the outer perimeter of the flat ledge of the liner, which partially loope

Abstract: The subject apparatus is an improved sand and water table, as used by young children for play and educational purposes, such sand and water table comprising a supported table having a depressed container area, which is open at the top for access from above with an upper perimeter around the upper edge of the depressed container area, in which perimeter is formed a recessed channel area that functions for dual purposes, one being to help prevent spillage of sand, water, or other products from the depressed container area, and the other function being to receive conformingly the bottom perimeter of a covering lid.

Abstract: The subject device is a balloon holding device adapted to be attached to a balloon string and functioning to prevent a balloon filled with a lighter-than-air gas from rising above a given tethered length, such device comprising in general a spool member having a central cylindrical shaft flanked on each end by opposing circular plate members, each such plate having a circumferential rim. The spool member is adapted to have the balloon string wrapped around it to be unravelled at will. Integrally disposed between the inner face of such circular plate members are integrally affixed means to partially retard the process of unravelling of the balloon string so that the balloon string and thus the balloon do not become beyond the control of the person holding the balloon.

Abstract: The subject invention is a roofing attachment plate with integrated means to seal and affix such plate on the upper part of a roof surface in order to secure a roof sheet to the upper surface of a roof. Specifically, the invention comprises a circular member on other shaped attachment plate which is adapted to be placed flush on the upper surface of the roof deck with opening means to receive a nail or stud to attach the plate to the roof structure, serving to anchor a roofing sheet to the fixed roof structure. The fastening plate has an upper cup-like chamber that is centrally located on the attachment plate and coaxially aligned with the central vertical axis of the fastening member, and such chamber has an outer circumferential surface, a portion of which has a circumferential recess to receive and hold a circular locking ring.

Abstract: The subject invention is a portable apparatus constructed to function as a safety warning device to be temporarily deployed on disabled motor vehicles or the like, such device comprising a container with an internal reel from which can be drawn a predetermined length of reflective material that can be placed around a part of the vehicle to serve as a reflectorized warning device. The container is a substantially cylindrical housing member having an internal rotatable shaft serving as the reel member around which is wound the strip of reflective material. The reflective strip of material has a lead edge which can be fed through a vertically disposed and longitudinally extending opening in the outer shell of the housing member. The lead end of the reflective strip is appropriately magnetized and the housing member is also magnetized to temporarily adhere a part of the reflectorized tape and housing member to the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The subject invention is a device used to help dehydrate and dehumidify the substructure immediately under the roof structure. The subject device includes an air intake member adapted to eject relatively humid air, under the roof surface, said device being in the form of a longitudinally extending, vertically upwardly protruding finger-like member formed as a one-piece member having an internally disposed longitudinally extending internal chamber which communicates with an opening in the bottom thereof, which opening in turn communicates with yet another opening in the roof structure which second opening communicates to spatial areas immediately beneath the roof structure. The upper part of the device has a plurality of openings that communicate from the internal chamber to spatial areas outside said unit.

Abstract: A device for automatically maintaining a supply of clean, fresh water for animals, or the like. The device includes a basin fluidly connected to a trough by a slot which has sides that are partly undulating and partly straight. A flow control mechanism is movably mounted in the slot to fluidly connect that basin to a source of water.
