Abstract: A device for locking up a video cassette recorder having a box with a base, a top wall and upstanding side walls, and with intermediate walls therebetween, a drum journaled through the front and rear walls at the center of the box, the drum having a centrally located diametric bore, a pair of locking rods independently supported for axial movement through apertures of an end wall and an adjacent intermediate wall, the movement being between an operative position spaced from the shaft and an inoperative position within the bore of the drum, a dial for rotating the drum extending to the exterior of the front wall, and handles to axially reciprocate each rod extending through slots in the front wall laterally offset from the drum.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a toothbrush with a detachable dentifrice dispenser assembly. The brush includes a head portion with a centrally located aperture. The aperture communicates with a corresponding aperture located within the detachable dentifrice dispenser. The dispenser is adapted to be removably secured on the bottom surface of the toothbrush. In alternate embodiments, a plunger assembly is located in association with the dispenser to facilitate the dispensing of the dentifrice through the aperture in the head portion and into the bristles of the brush. Alternatively, the dispenser assembly can be removed and dentifrice can be delivered directly from the container through the head aperture and into the bristles of brush.

Abstract: A device for the hands-free carrying of skis and ski poles. The device comprises a carrying strap having a first and second end, and a length adapted to fit around a person. The carrying strap has securement means at the ends adapted to receive and hold the carrying strap in a closed loop configuration around the person. A pouch has an open end and a closed end. The pouch couples the carrying strap with the open end facing upwards. The pouch is adapted to hold the ends of skis and ends of ski poles. A plurality of ski straps have first and second ends and an intermediate portion therebetween with a length adapted to fit around a plurality of skis. The intermediate portion of each ski strap is coupled to the carrying strap. Each ski strap further has a securement member at the first and second ends adapted to receive and hold the ski straps in a closed loop configuration around skis that are inserted into the open end of the pouch.

Abstract: A trigger lock for firearms wherein a pair of discs loosely connected together by a flexible band are adapted to be positioned one on each side of the trigger guard of a firearm. When pushed towards each other, a pair of tapered spring detent arms fixed to the internal face of the first of said discs engage in a pair of apertures in the second of said discs from which they may be disengaged by finger pressure. A central hocking pin positioned centrally on the second of said discs engages with a central tumblered locking receptacle positioned centrally on the internal face of the first of said discs and locks into place therein. The external face of the first of said discs carries a circularly arranged set of numbers, e.g. 1 through 8, and a knob mounted on the outer end of the central locking receptacle.

Abstract: A flexible fishing bait assembly for catching fish with a rod, reel and line comprising a support rod configured with an eyelet in a central extent thereof for coupling to a fishing line. The support rod has a first extent continuing linearly as an extension of the first end of the eyelet, a hook coupled to the end and a fish-attracting member molded over the region of coupling between the loop and the hook. The support rod also includes a second extent extending away from the first extent from the second end of the eyelet. The support rod is fabricated of a plurality of discrete strands of carbon steel in a spiral configuration to allow for flexing of the support rod when pulled in one direction by a fish on the hook and in the other direction by a fisherman. Fish-attracting components are coupled to the second extent of the support rod.

Abstract: A toothbrush comprising a multi-section telescoping stainless steel tubular handle and rotating connector to pivotally connect a replaceable toothbrush head thereto.

Abstract: A golfing aid for verifying a proper golfing stance comprising a front component positionable on the ground adjacent to golf ball to be hit in contact with the toes of the golfer's shoes and positioned between the feet of the player and the ball, the front component being in a linear configuration and formed of two elongated parts axially aligned and adjustable with respect to each other for varying the length thereof, the parts including a left part with a longitudinal slot along the majority of its length and an aperture at its left end and an imperforate section at its right end with a projection therebetween, the parts including a right part with a longitudinal slot adapted to receive the projection and an aperture at its right end; a left component having an aperture at its front end and at its rear end and with an upper and lower surface; a right component having an aperture at its forward end for alignment and coupling with the aperture at the right end of the first component and with an aperture at it

Abstract: A knee hinge with selectively limited motion which optionally limits an available flexion range of a user's knee to approximately 24 degrees so that a user will not fall should the user buckle at the knees. The hinge may be released to provide for a greater range of knee flexion which will allow a user to sit down in a conventional manner. The approximately 24 degree limit of the flexion range is automatically re-engaged when the user's knee is straightened. The hinge provides a spring mechanism for assisting weak knee muscles. The hinge also allows a small degree of knee hyperextension for the purpose of allowing the user to assume and maintain a safe standing position.

Abstract: An adjustable holder comprising in combination a hollow housing having three slots formed on a top surface thereof and four depending side edges. Three cup grippers extend from a respective one of the three slots for gripping a cup on the top surface of the hollow housing. Each cup grippers are movable by way of a respective one of the three gearing assemblies located within the housing. One of the three gearing assemblies is controlled by the operator of the cup holder via a control knob extending from one of the side edges of the housing. Such gearing assembly that is controlled by the operator is referred to as the master gearing assembly.
