Abstract: A protective clothing patch for cushioning high impact body parts of a person wearing clothing. The protective clothing patch having a lightweight flexible cushion member and a parabolic shaped outer sheath. This outer sheath gives the patch its unique appearance as a modified football shape. The sheath covers high impact cushioning, in a parabolic form, which aids in its ability to conform the natural contour of the high impact body part such as the elbow, shin, shoulder, knee or buttocks. The protective clothing patch is permanently adhered by the user to clothing in the area desired to be protected from high impact. When the person comes into contact with the floor or ground the cushion member will better comfort the knees, elbows or buttocks. The protective clothing patch is durable, flexible and lightweight and it protects the garment from usual wear and tear and thereby extends the lifespan of the garment.

Abstract: A radio controlled toy is provided with a robotic rider that catches waves via an electric motor and propeller, then rides waves like a real surfer, and rights itself after a wipeout comprising a novel way to rotate the robotic rider's upper torso and to disburse the motor room heat allowing for long run times.

Abstract: A novel grill top cooking tool is provided that contains and cooks food on a grill surface. The grilling tool is comprised of a main body with removable perforated or slotted end caps that are secured to either edge of the main body. An attaching device allows for connection of a detachable tool to place the grilling tool on a hot surface and for turning the grilling tool during the cooking process and removing the grilling tool when finished cooking.

Abstract: The t-post fence bracket of the present invention provides a simple and effective means of securing a variety of items by use of u-hooks, plates or brackets to a widely used metal t-post without the use of tools. Items such as fence rails, buckets, chains, rope, wire, or solar panels may be attached or hung from the bracket to support it from the ground level. Further, the bracket does not have sharp edges, and hence humans and animals coming into contact with the bracket will not be injured thereby.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling ectoparasites on animals are disclosed. The method consists of the design of an enclosure with an opening having bait such as food or water within the enclosure. An automatic spraying device is set at the opening. Animals are attracted to walk through the opening to feed or drink. Animals are self-treated with ectoparasiticides every time they enter or exit the enclosure. This method will eliminate the necessary labor to gather animals to be treated individually. The method and device is portable and can be place at any location on a farm or land. The automatic spraying device will provide the necessary dosage of ectoparasiticides on animals to control ectoparasites.

Abstract: A process, and associated apparatus, that separates the economic components of scrapped rubber tires while isolating and removing certain levels of contamination associated with these tires. The separation of the scrap tires contaminants is accomplished by shredding, washing, and rasping the tire product. The continual laboratory testing of the waste wash water and removal of the contaminates and particulates will produce an end-product of 3 to 100 mesh/crumb which will be virtually without contamination. The quality of the end-product is further enhanced by the associated quality apparatus that removes the steel and fiber products in addition to any contaminants.

Abstract: For vehicles with a rear cargo space and a cargo space enclosure, a sliding hatch is provided that is designed to fit over an opening in the roof of the enclosure above the cargo space. The opening forms a part of the same opening provided when the rear window and rear door of the enclosure are opened. The sliding hatch is mounted to enable it to slide forward and above the passenger compartment of the vehicle to provide a vertical clearance in the cargo space for objects being hauled and loaded. The sliding hatch is designed to be water tight through the design of a rain duct with a raised lip disposed around the opening. The sliding hatch is designed to receive a rear window in a pocket in the underside of the sliding hatch for convenience and ease of use.

Abstract: A nutrition board game is disclosed which has a game board, movable pieces, food group cards, a menu card, and a spinner for simulating a healthful eating diet. The board piece is marked to follow a path with the movable pieces based on the roll of a die.

Abstract: A head hugging pillow case including a ruffled extension which provides warmth to the head and shoulders while sleeping. The ruffled extension can be easily shaped to cover the head, face, neck and/or ears for maximum warmth and breathability. The ruffled extension can also be flipped over the top of the pillowcase when not needed for extra warmth. The ruffled extension also provides a light shield for one's eyes during sleep or resting time.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a horny skin remover, comprising a handle and a header mounted thereon attached to which, by a clamp, is a blade having at least one cutting edge. The horny skin remover has a double function of the clamp, using it both for attaching and for covering the blade in times of non-use, thereby eliminating a separate blade protection otherwise required, and at the same time insuring that protection of the blade not be forgotten, by inadvertence, as the clamp is required for mounting the blade. The blade itself is protected, when the skin remover is not used. The clamp adjustable in relation to the blade is associated to the header and has at least two adjustable positions, namely the “RELEASE” and the “COVER” positions.

Abstract: A multi-purpose hand tool which includes a handle body with a plurality of drive tools mounted on an axis at one end allowing various tools such as hex tools, screwdriver tools, torx tools and others to rotate for use. Pivoting folding wingbars are affixed to the handle by an axis to give additional torque to the drive tools. At the opposite end of the drive tools in the handle is a square opening to receive various independent hand and power ratchet drives. The tool incorporates lifting levers which are affixed to the handle by an axis. The levers when depressed toward the folding tool will lift the drive tools away from the handle to provide easier selection of a particular drive tool. A second embodiment has a ratchet mechanism assembly with two folding wingbars which eliminate the need for an independent ratchet handle or driver.

Abstract: A radio controlled skateboarding toy is provided comprising a multi-jointed moveable figurine attached to a motorized skateboard for which steering is controlled through the pivotal movements of the figurine allowing for dramatic realism and high performance stunts. It also features moveable battery packs, changeable motor positions, and interchangeable wheel weights to provide different centers of balance necessary to perform a wide range of maneuvers.

Abstract: A method and device for converting conventional engines to a natural gas fueled engine, having a means of withdrawing compressed natural gas from a storage supply at a low pressure, combining the natural gas with atmospheric air from the engine's air cleaner, pressurizing the air and gas mixture by means of a convergent-divergent nozzle and allowing the air/gas mixture to enter the engine's induction manifold at high pressure. This is accomplished without modification to the original engine cylinder, while increasing the engine power and minimizing exhaust emissions.

Abstract: A radio controlled surfing toy is provided comprising a multi-jointed, moveable figurine pivotally attached to a jet-propelled surfboard. The surfing toy surfs similar to a real life surfing professional in waves ranging from 3" to 5' in height. The surfing toy is capable of fielding and catching waves on its own and riding a left or right breaking wave into the shore operating on a synchronized 4-way steering system controlling the figurine's body to move from one side of the board to the other and allowing dramatic realism and high performance surf stunts. A balloon recovery system is employed to right the surfboard after a wipe-out in conjunction with a righting mechanisms built-in to the surfboard's design.

Abstract: A new sport of skill, SurfSliding having an open pipe ramp system covered in artificial turf and a lubricating means. SurfSliding allows a participant to glide downhill by gravity and kinetic energy while maneuvering a lawnboard strapped to the participants feet. The new sport provides for a sport similar to surfing while executing movements similar to skateboarding and snowboarding.
