Abstract: An improved cap tightening turret is of the type which includes a plurality of cap tightening spindles. The cap tightening spindles are mounted around the outer periphery of the turret. The turret includes a number of pedestals for respectively supporting a plurality of containers. Each of the spindles is for supporting a cap with each pedestal for movement of the neck of the container thereon into the spindle for causing the cap to be tightened by rotation onto the container. Each of the containers has an outwardly extending handle. A first type of container has the handle thereof disposed at a first radial distance thereon and a second type of container has a handle thereof disposed at a second radial distance thereon with the second radial distance being larger than the first radial distance. The improvement includes a single rotational prevention element mounted on each spindle.
Abstract: A reversible cover adapted to protect the cushion used with infant furniture comprising a upper and lower half sewn together on three sides and releasably closed on the remaining side. A protective cushion, having a radial tab, is attached at the juncture of the upper and lower halves and is adapted to extend above the cushion regardless of which side of the cushion receives the infant. The cover is reversed by simply turning the cushion over.

Abstract: A storage-type organizer for hair bows, jewelry, and similar items. The organizer includes a thin, vertical, elongate body member and a fabric covering the elongate body member. The body member has a thickness such that pierced earrings can be inserted therethrough, and has a thickness and a width such that hair bows and barrettes can be clamped therearound. It also has a composition such that pins can be inserted and held therein.
Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a portable workstation, including: a support structure; a horizontal, generally planar, working surface disposed upon and supported by the support structure; a plurality of tools mounted on the working surface, each of the plurality of tools being mounted on a horizontal mounting plate, the mounting plate forming a portion of the working surface, and the mounting plate being rotatable such that each of the plurality of tools may be selectively rotated between a working position on top of the working surface and a stored position underneath the working surface.
Abstract: A marker pen having a clear plastic disk at one end and a clear plastic hemispheric shaped member at the other end, proximate the nib whereby a small child can write or draw in a normal fashion, see through the plastic the results of his endeavors but is unable to place either end of the marker into the mouth. A cover is provided for storage and the ink is a non toxic water color.
Abstract: A game apparatus, the game apparatus including a housing, the housing enclosing a playing chamber therewithin, at least one pair of substantially opposing impeller devices sharing a common longitudinal axis, each impeller being capable of impelling a projectile into the playing chamber.
Abstract: A portable golf club cleaning device including a plastic pail containing a cleaning fluid and a cover for the pail having a large and a small opening. Brushes attached to the cover extend into the fluid and surround each opening so that a golf club placed into the hole will be scrubbed by the brushes and washed by the fluid. The brushes are limited in deflection due to insertion of the club between the brushes, by strapping opposite facing pairs of brushes together near the end away from the mounting. The container has a handle for lifting and carrying.

Abstract: A carriage for the support and transport of a juvenile car seat, the carriage including a frame for attachment of the juvenile car seat thereto, the frame including a front cross member defining a front of the frame, a rear cross member defining a rear of the frame, and a pair of elongated side members defining opposing sides of the frame, each of the side members being connected to and extending from the front cross member to the rear cross member, and the pair of side members being spaced from one another by substantially the width of the frame, a handle member extending upward from the rear of the frame, a pair of rotatable wheel bearing shaft members, each of the rotatable wheel bearing shaft members having an elongated longitudinal axis, and one each of the rotatable wheel bearing shaft members extending along one each of the opposing sides of the frame, each of the rotatable wheel bearing shaft members being rotatable about its respective longitudinal axis, at least a pair of wheels attached to each of
Abstract: The invention relates to a cap for pickup truck cargo bodies that is secured in place by hinges and may be tilted by removing the hinge pins on one side and removed by removing the hinge pins from both sides. Rods are provided which engage the hinge cylinder on the body and on the cap and thereby secure and support the cap from dynamic forces that might otherwise cause the cap to lift or drop.
Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a football game simulation apparatus, including: a game board; indicating apparatus disposed in said game board to indicate a quarter of a football game being simulated; scoring apparatus disposed in said game board to indicate scores of teams playing the football game being simulated; and holding apparatus disposed in the game board to temporarily hold therein cards employed in playing a simulated football game.
Abstract: Configured to resemble a classic sawhorse the invention is formed of rectangular metal tubes and "I" beams that are attached to and contained within a main beam. Side mounted tubes swing out and extend tubular members contained within them. "I" beams extend from the main beam and extend channel beams transverse to the longitudinal axis. Through a series of holes and pins the beam extensions and the supporting legs are adjustable over a wide range.
Abstract: A light switching apparatus, including an electrical switch, a water faucet assembly, an attaching mechanism for affixing the switch to a water faucet lever, and a wiring mechanism for electrically connecting the switch to a lighting circuit.Preferably, the electrical switch is a fiat, thumb-operated switch, and the water faucet lever has at least one fiat surface. The mechanism for attaching the electrical switch to the fiat surface of the water faucet lever includes a plurality of magnets attached to a bottom side of the electrical switch to affix it to the fiat surface of the water faucet lever.
Abstract: A shingle cutting tool for cutting a shingle having a longitudinal edge, the shingle cutting tool making a cut across the shingle at a selectable angle transverse to the longitudinal edge thereof, the shingle cutting tool including a guide member, the guide member having a substantially upright surface for guiding the longitudinal edge of the shingle, and a cutting assembly, the cutting assembly being pivotally attached to the guide member and extending outward therefrom, the cutting assembly including a cutting base member, a cutting blade, the cutting blade having a cutting edge, the cutting edge opposing the base member, a reciprocating guide mechanism for guiding the cutting blade in a reciprocating fashion within a plane extending from the cutting base, and a pressure mechanism for exerting a pressure on the cutting blade to thereby bring the cutting edge into contact with the cutting base member.
