Abstract: The packaged food fluid extractor has a container lever attached to a compression lever at a pivot point such that when the two are squeezed together compression of food in a food container extracts fluids from the foods. The compression lever has a piston attached with a perforated disk attached at the bottom end located to allow insertion in the top of an open food container. When such food container is placed in the recess of the container lever and the perforated disk is located on top of the food contents, the squeezing of the two levers together, similar to pliers, compresses the food and fluids are extracted.

Abstract: The hand and foot powered bicycle has an elongated frame supported by a front and rear wheel. A handle bar lever is mounted to the frame adjacent to the steering column such that the handle bar lever may be raised and lowered by moving the attached handle bar up and forward and down and rearward. The handle bar lever is connected to a front sprocket wheel by lever arm linkage attached to sprocket wheel crank arms. This front sprocket wheel is linked to the rear wheel gears by two chain loops and a mid sprocket wheel assembly. With this linkage, as the handle bar is raised and lowered, this motion is translated to rotate the rear wheels. The hand and foot powered bicycle is steered by the handle bar connected to the front wheel forks through a pair of steering cables which are crossed between their abutments to give a correct turn for a turn of the handle bar.

Abstract: The rotary hydrotherapy nozzle is a cylindrical tube forming a nozzle with a hand grip sleeve on a first stage tube and having an on-off valve. The tube has a rotary element contained in a discharge end which has multiple discharge ports. The tube intake end is threaded to receive the first stage tube or a water hose. The rotary element is a cylindrical body shaped to rotate in the discharge end. The rotary element has an outlet end with an outlet port shaped to alternately inhibit and allow water flow through the discharge ports as rotation occurs. The rotary element inlet end has a water vane which causes rotation due to the water flow impact thereon from the water inlet disk which has skewed ducts to direct water flow against the blades of the water vane.

Abstract: The spark creating recreation or sports device is a wheeled device having flint pads attached to surfaces which may be brought into contact with an environmental surface such as a street, sidewalk, railing, etc. The protective devices worn when using such recreation or sports wheeled devices may also have flint pads attached to surfaces which may be rubbed against an environmental surface. Examples of protective devices include knee, elbow and hand pads and helmets. Also spark creating devices may be pad mounted flint pads which flint pads create sparks when scraped against a surface and the pad mounts can be attached to a skateboard surface or to the wheel mounts. A further spark creating device consists of a flint pad having integral to it a fastener which may be used for attachment to a skateboard.

Abstract: The bur guard covers and removes foreign matter from burs protruding from a dental hand piece with an outer member, a foam inner member, and a mechanism to hold the foam taut enough to accept any bur shape, size, or texture thus, increasing the effectiveness of the bur and the efficiency of the dental procedure and while in position over the bur, will protect the dentist, dental assistant, and patient from a potentially infectious laceration or puncture wound.

Abstract: The all weather outdoor table cover has a tablecloth for placement on a table and straps attached at the tablecloth perimeter to provide for securing to the table top. A protective cover is attached to a portion of the tablecloth perimeter and is constructed of a pliable material so it may be folded for storage when not in use. A hem is formed in the perimeter of the protective cover and has a draw cord contained therein which is accessible through two openings. When it is desired to cover the table and its contents, the protective cover may be pulled over the table top and secured under it by pulling on the draw cords to pull the protective cover under the table top. This will protect the tablecloth and contents from weather, pests and the like. Storage pockets may also be attached to the perimeter of the tablecloth.

Abstract: The water filtration system has nine filter elements serially arranged in a hollow cylinder housing with a water inlet end and water outlet end having pipe fittings, such as, 3/4 inches for installation in the main inlet water line of a household. For a normal household the housing is approximately 20 inches long and 4 inches in diameter. The first filter element on the water inlet end is a loose weave polyester fiber pad; the second filter element is multiple irregular polyethylene beads filling approximately 3 inches of the housing length; the third and seventh filter sections are a very fine plain wool filter floss; the fourth, sixth and eighth filter sections are one millimeter wool fibers impregnated with carbon to equal two thirds of the total weight of the fibers; the fifth filter element is multiple pharmaceutical grade carbon granules filling approximately 4 1/2 inches of the housing length; and the ninth filter element is a fine mesh nylon screen.

Abstract: The forked suture forcep is a traditional forcep with handle and split planar arms; however, the arm distal ends have a two prong fork attached. The pair of prongs on each arm fork allow holding tissue taut while suturing a wound or incision. In addition the prongs and the cross member between them have graduation measures to allow accurate approximation of needle insertion points for uniform suturing along the wound or incision. This provides for properly aligning the tissue to be closed to promote faster healing and to minimize scarring.
