Abstract: The instant invention is a lightweight enhanced velocity bullet consisting of a hollow cylindrically shaped metal jacket component made of brass, the body of which is filled nearly to capacity with a malleable tin-copper-silver alloy material and with the body having a flattened posterior end and with there being a second end anterior to the body which said second end is hollow within, devoid of any alloy material and tapering symmetrically to a blunt point.
Abstract: The instant device is an elongated four-sided, solid high molecular weight polyethylene wood sticker unit serving to separate, within a wood kiln unit, the lowermost surfaces of uppermost laid in planking from the uppermost surfaces of lowermost laid-in planking and characterized by the presence of four rounded edges marking the intersection of any two sides thereof and a helically inclined groove cut into the outer surfaces of all four sides thereof and extending uniformly from one end thereof to the other end thereof.
Abstract: The instant invention is a dual clamping apparatus consisting of a three sided clampstand component, one left handed screw bolt and one right handed screw bolt, a bi-threaded barrel component held by the screw bolts insertable each through hexagonally shaped holes in the lateral sides of the clampstand, the barrel component having a horizontally inclined through hole centered therein from side to side, half of which is marked by the presence of right handed threading and half of which is marked by the presence of left hand threading for receipt of the screw bolts as well as having a plurality of closed lever holes within its outer surface for receipt of a lever to turn the barrel component through an angle causing movement outward or inward as the case may be of the inserted screw bolts and further with each screw bolt having a closed, threaded hole in the head of each for receipt of an extension screw component fitted with a threaded extension screw nut component with a pair of tapped holes in the base of th
Abstract: An inlaid brick walkway bed leveler consisting of a handle affixed to a rakehead with the handle being supported by a pair of equivalent mediolateral struts attached to the handle and the rakehead, a brace serving to support the struts, a straight bottom edge of the rakehead, the lateral aspects of the front face of the rakehead being amenable to receipt of snugly fitting, adjustable width gauge components with chair shaped ends each amenable to receipt of a clip component and to each of which width gauge components there is affixed a pair of threaded posts extending through elongated slits in the rakehead with an anteroposterior through hole medially positioned in the rakehead near the topside thereof and with there being affixed to the top side thereof just above the anteroposterior hole, an encased leveling bubble component.
Abstract: The instant invention consists of an inner cannula of hosing amenable to transport of a liquid coupled with an outer cannula or cannulae of hosing amenable to transport of a gas. As respects one embodiment, affixed to outer walling of the inner cannula and to inner walling of the outer cannula are rigid struts, typically three or four, at 120.degree. or rights angles with respect to one another at various points along the respective lengths of the cannulae that serve to maintain separation of the cannulae from one another at times when the inner cannula is filled with a liquid and the outer cannula is filled with a gas. A second embodiment is strut free. Each cannula has an ingress end whereat a liquid is introduced into the inner cannula and whereat a gas is introduced into the outer cannula.
