Abstract: A mobile yard vacuum cart that incorporates a leaf blower and trash can into a vertical support assembly that allows an operator to collect leaves into the trash can for disposal simultaneously while moving the mobile yard vacuum cart across a lawn without lugging the leaf blower. The mobile yard vacuum cart has a vertical support assembly, a pickup assembly, a discharge assembly and a strap assembly. The coupling of the leaf blower with the pickup assembly allows the operator to simply push the mobile yard vacuum cart without having to simultaneously manipulate a blower intake tube across the lawn surface. If the leaf blower has a chopping impeller blade, the mobile yard vacuum cart advantageously directs the leaves into the impeller of the leaf blower for chopping. The mobile yard vacuum cart provides adaptors in a variety of configurations to couple the tubes supplied with the leaf blower.

Messages left at the front door intercom/message unit may be retrieved at the main control panel, or by calling the intercom system from an outside phone line. In use, the user programs a private security code into the intercom system. Unauthorized individuals without knowledge of the private security code are unable to access the messages left upon the message recorder.

Abstract: A non-polluting engine that produces mechanical, rotary motion, and produces oxygen as a principle gaseous byproduct. The engine employs a fuel mixture that includes two components that together produce oxygen. The fuel mixture is introduced to a combustion chamber where it is heated to facilitate the rapid production of oxygen. The expansion of the oxygen within the combustion chamber is translated to rotary mechanical energy. The oxygen produced during the reaction is expelled from the combustion chamber and released into the atmosphere.

Abstract: A gaming system that employs a video game system and action figures to allow both video game play and action figure play. A video game score, obtained by a player through video game play, may be transferred to the action figure associated with that player to become the action figure score of that action figure. The action figures have a gun that generates a light beam and a target detector for receiving light beams from other action figures. The action figure will register a hit, and break apart, if its target detector receives a light beam from another action figure that has a higher action figure score.

Abstract: A reinforcement pad for protecting a liner of a pool from damage caused by a user ascending and descending a pool ladder having two upper ends and two lower ends. The reinforcement pad has a substantially oval pad base and a substantially cylindrical socket extending therefrom. The socket, which has a centrally located bore, is mateable with only one lower ladder end. A user inserts one lower ladder end into the bore of the socket of one reinforcement pad. The user then repeats this step with the other lower ladder end and another reinforcement pad. Next, the user positions the pad base against the pool liner and attaches the upper ladder ends to the pool deck. The pad distributes pressure applied to the ladder over the wider area of the lower surface of the pad base, thereby preventing the liner from becoming damaged.

Abstract: A portable adjustable headrest for seats that will prevent a person's head from falling to the side while sleeping including a support bar, telescoping bar, and a headrest pad. The support bar includes a curved flexible top for hanging from a variety of seat-tops, and includes an elongated portion for interaction with the telescoping bar. The telescoping bar is removably attached through bands along the front surface of the support bar allowing for the raising and lowering of the telescoping bar wherein the headrest pad is coupled thereto. The headrest pad is hingeably attached to a ring that is integrally coupled to the telescoping bar, allowing the headrest pad to rotate upwardly and downwardly.

Abstract: An osteotomy guide having a frame and a pair of guide pins, for creating a desired cut in a bone. The frame has an outer frame, and an inner frame which is telescopically mounted within the outer frame. Both the inner frame and outer frame having open ends and a guide pin sleeve. The inner frame and outer frame together define a main slot which is adjustable in length by moving the inner frame with respect to the outer frame. The frame is mounted to the bone by creating anchoring holes in the bone and extending the guide pins through the guide pin sleeves and into the anchoring holes, such that the guide pins are parallel in all planes. A controlled cut is created by using the guide pins as a visual guide or inserting a saw blade through the main slot.

Abstract: A mailbox security device capable of being mounted within the opening of any standard sized mailbox for securing delivered mail. The mailbox security device includes a frame and a hinged door. The hinged door has an interior surface and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism has a circular recessed input and key. The interior surface has a latch and spring for locking the locking mechanism.

Abstract: A guitar strap, for supporting a guitar, having a guitar body, and a pair of attachment knobs affixed to the guitar body. The attachment knobs have a neck and a flange, the flange larger in diameter than the neck. The guitar strap has a belt having a first and second end, and a pair of connecting pads, each connecting pad located at one of the first and second ends of the belt. The connecting pads each have a securing hole having a securing hole circumference, which has a relaxed, smaller size, but when pressed down upon one of the attachment knobs enlarges and allows the flange to pass therethrough, and then relaxes and retracts to extend snugly around the neck once the connecting pad has been moved below the flange.

Abstract: A portable rotary brush cleaning device for cleaning the inside of a bathtub or other household surfaces, comprising a machine body, a brush handle having two ends, and a motor-driven brush. The brush handle is attached to the machine body at one of its ends and to the brush at its other end. The machine body houses a water tank, a cleaning solution tank, a water pump, and a cleaning solution pump. The pumps supply water and cleaning solution to the brush via hoses that run along the length of the brush handle. A user first wets the brush by activating buttons which control the pumps. The user then activates the motor which causes the brush to rotate upon the brush handle. The user alternates between wetting the brush and rotating the brush on the surface to be cleaned, until the surface has been sufficiently cleaned.
