  • Patent number: 4316343
    Abstract: An artificial fishing lure of soft, pliable rubbery material having a semi-firm body and head portion and a less firm crossed-over loop tail portion. When moved through the water the resilient tail portions opens into an unstable spiral shape reversing alternately from right handed to left handed, with accompanying rocking motion of the body and head portion. Changes in the cross sectional shape and resiliency of the crossed-over loop result in different total body motions. Fishing lures having two crossed-over loop appendages with oppositely turned loops are also provided.

  • Patent number: 4280666
    Abstract: A hand held granulator for peppercorns, salt, nuts, spices, foliage greens and the like with storage of unground and ground material.

Two sealingly engaged central flanges with an interchangeable grinding screen there between receive the first and second containers on either side with the first in sliding rotational engagement and the second in fixed engagement. A twisting motion imparted by the hands results in grinding of the materials between the first container portion and the screen. Ground material passes through the grinding screen and is either retained in the second cylindrical container or dropped free.
