Abstract: A rolling mechanic's lamp is disclosed. The lamp is provided with a rectangular frame member having a centrally located opening and two receptacles remote therefrom for carrying small tools and the like. A reflector is secured to the frame member for directing light through the top of the opening. An electric bulb, capable of illuminating the area above the frame member when energized, is supported by the reflector within the opening. A cage is secured to the top of the frame member and disposed above the bulb. The cage includes a ring fitted about the periphery of the opening and a number of arches having their respective lower ends joined to the ring in a spaced apart relationship and having their respective upper ends joined together at a predetermined height above the opening. A caster is secured to each of the four corners of the frame member. A handle is joined to one side of the frame member for grasping by the human hand and movement of the lamp from place to place.

Abstract: A protective cover for a remote control unit, having pressure responsive buttons thereon and a signal generator on one end, has a resilient housing having a housing bottom wall, two upstanding housing side walls connected to the housing bottom wall and a housing top wall connected to the housing side walls. The housing top wall has a first access viewing port and a switch port therein. There is a first closing flap, having an integral hinged connection to one end of the housing top wall, that selectively forms a first housing end wall having a first signal projection port therein. There is a second closing flap, having an integral hinged connection to another end of the housing top wall, that selectively forms a second housing end wall. A protective enclosure is removably placed within the resilient housing and has an enclosure bottom wall, two upstanding enclosure side walls connected to the enclosure bottom wall and an enclosure top wall connected to the enclosure side walls.

Abstract: This invention provides a three-dimensional puzzle, rotatable about three orthogonal axes, the three orthogonal axes consisting of a vertical axis, a first horizontal axis, and a second horizontal axis, the three-dimensional puzzle comprising: a hollow spherical base member having a first hemispherical base member, a second hemispherical base member, and a pivotable connection mechanism for connecting the first hemispherical base member to the second hemispherical base member and for allowing the first hemispherical base member and the second hemispherical base member to rotate in a plane defined by the first horizontal axis and the second horizontal axis; a track mechanism formed by an outer surface of the spherical base member; a plurality of sliding truncated trapezoidal covers slidably mounted in the track mechanism, each of the trapezoidal covers having a radially outward surface which forms one of the eight faces of the octahedral base member; and, a plurality of tetrahedral members, one tetrahedral mem

Abstract: A lawnmower engine oil sump drain extension apparatus, for a lawnmower having a blade housing and an engine having an oil sump, has an oil sump drain elbow tube threadingly connected into a drain hole of the oil sump. An outer extension tube is threadingly connected to the elbow tube. The outer extension tube extends through a port in the blade housing and into a blade housing extension tube receiving chamber in the blade housing. A locking member, threadingly connects to the outer extension tube, to secure the outer extension tube to the blade housing. An inner extension tube is telescopingly placed within the outer extension tube. There is at least one sealing member, having a replaceable resilient seal thereon, on the inner extension tube to provide a seal between the inner extension tube and the outer extension tube. There is a stop member on the inner extension tube.

Abstract: A decorative insect trapping device, the decorative insect trapping device including at least two support members, the at least two support members being connected together and positioned substantially transverse to one another, a hanging mechanism for hanging the at least two connected support members, at least four insect trapping members, each of the at least four insect trapping members including a substantially laminar member, each of the substantially laminar members being provided with a decorative design thereon, and an insect trapping adhesive applied to at least one surface of the substantially laminar member, a first two of the at least four insect trapping members being suspended from a first of the at least two support members in a spaced relationship with respect to one another, and a second two of the at least four insect trapping members being suspended from a second of the at least two support members in a spaced relationship with respect to one another, each of the at least four insect trapp

Abstract: A handle for eating utensils (such as a fork, a spoon and a knife) has a gripping member and a barrier member. A first connecting member connects one end of the gripping member to one end of the barrier member. A second connecting member releasingly connects another end of the gripping member to another end of the barrier member. A hand insertion port is formed by an inner perimeter of the gripping member, the barrier member, the first connecting member and the second connecting member. There is a stabilizing member connected to the gripping member.

Abstract: An insect trap for use in capturing flies, ants and other insects, which insect trap utilizes a slowly moving baited conveyor belt to convey insects into the interior of the trap. In its preferred embodiments, the trap also features means for the continued refurbishment of the bait supply on the slowly moving conveyor belt.

Abstract: An apparatus for fishing through ice has a first cylinder. A second cylinder is attached to the first cylinder forming a nesting lip. At least one anchoring device is connected to the first cylinder. A reel, rotatively attached to the first cylinder, has a line spooling shaft, a camming surface on the line spooling shaft, at least one end plate attached to the line spooling shaft, an audio-indicator activator attached to the end plate and a reeling handle attached to the line spooling shaft. An audio-indicator is attached to the first cylinder and slidingly abuts the audio-indicator activator. A visual indicating means is attached to the first cylinder and slidingly abuts the reel. The audio-indicator has a flexible tab attached to the first cylinder. The visual indicating means has a base attached to the first cylinder, an eccentric arm pivotally attached to the base and an indicator ball attached to the eccentric arm.

Abstract: A locating device has a locating circuit having a oscillator/counter logic circuit, a reset circuit, a reset beep circuit, an enable flip-flop, a delay flip-flop, a mux (multiplexer) flip-flop a mux logic circuit and a piezo oscillator circuit. The locating device is generally designed to assist the user to locate an object of which the locating device is a part. The preferred embodiment of the device is especially useful to determine the location of a misplaced television remote control. The alternative embodiment of the device could also be used to locate an object such as a credit card, locate an animal when lost or to find person on which the device is carried as a game. The locating device may also be used to reduce the occurrences of misplacement of objects or items (credit cards, ID cards, etc.) from their proper place or to alert a person when the object or item is in an improper place. The alternative embodiment has mode switch to control the audio alarm emission cycle.
