Abstract: The invention constitutes an apparatus and method for inexpensively, repairing wooden fences which fence posts have rotted or failed. The apparatus comprises segment of 90 degree angle iron or angle aluminum or similarly tough angle hardware, which is generally comprised of two flanges joined along a common edge. The flanges have a plurality of holes drilled or punched in the flanges for bolting the flange to a wooden fence post. The lower end of the angle hardware is pointed or sharpened or both pointed and sharpened to facilitate the angle hardware being driven into the ground or partially cleaned out fence post cavity in a concrete fence post base. The hardware may be used to support a new fence post by either setting the hardware piece in the ground by driving or hammering it in to the ground or it may be set in cement and then have a fence post attached to it.

Abstract: A device or kit for making a refrigerator door child proof is disclosed. The device comprises about four distinct parts: a segment of shock cord (lanyard), a spring clasp having a swivel eyelet butt end connected to one end of the shock cord, a first adhesive backed mounting plate with a loop for receiving the spring clasp (first mounting plate), another adhesive backed mounting plate for tethering the spring clasp to via the lanyard (second mounting plate). The first mounting plate is adhered to a refrigerator door. The second mounting plate having the spring clasp and lanyard mounted thereto is either adhered to a second refrigerator door or the side of the refrigerator. When the door is opened by a child the shock cord allows the door to only slightly be opened. The shock cord then springs back to its relaxed state quickly shutting the door. The spring clasp can be operated by an adult by one hand. The device can be disabled by leaving the spring clasp unhooked. The device can only deliberately be enabled.

Abstract: A portable anti-burglar device with optional fluid dispensing, alarm and fingerprint retention features is disclosed which when activated by the opening of a door or window or other violation of a secured aperture a spring biased actuating member operates to discharge a pre-packaged tear gas or identification fluid or other liquid dispersing canister and simultaneously close an electrical switch which is in series with another switch which controls the optional operation of an audible alarm when the device is activated regardless of whether a pressurized canister is in place. The device is portable and is coated with a wax or tar which can preserve fingerprints that may be deposited on the device by an intruder's attempt to deactivate it. The device is fitted with moveable mounting brackets which allow for a variety of mounting situations and also with a tamper resistant locking mechanism.

Abstract: The invention constitutes an apparatus and method for inexpensively, testing sewer drainage pipes and other pipes for leaks especially where exterior inspection is impractical, which includes the use of an inflatable test ball, a remotely operated camera lens with lighting and viewing terminal, snaking assisting lanyards and a method of snaking and water or other test fluid, wherein segments of pipe are isolated by snaking the test ball and camera to a point in the pipe, inflating the test ball to seal a segment of the pipe, internally, and viewing the quality of the seal of the test ball with the camera lens by its being located on one side of the test ball opposite the side water is injected into the pipe segment being tested and viewing and comparing water stability on both sides of the test ball.

Abstract: A device or kit for making a refrigerator door child proof is disclosed. The device comprises about four distinct parts: a shock cord, a spring clasp, one adhesive backed mounting plate or pad with a loop for receiving the spring clasp, another adhesive backed pad for mounting the latch and lanyard to. The loop pad is adhered to refrigerator door. The other pad having the latch and lanyard mounted thereto is either adhered to a second door or the side of the refrigerator. The latch can be operated by one hand. The latch can be disabled by leaving the latch unhooked. Dependent claims include additional features separately or combined: double spring clasp, clock, telephone, night light, can opener, writing surface, fan, timer, alarm, motion detector, bottle opener, and paper clamp.
