  • Patent number: 6113295
    Abstract: A writing instrument, such as an ink pen or the like, having a body having first and second ends, with a ball point or other writing tip associated with the first end. The body has a slot formed along its length to accommodate a flexible magnification lens configured to slidingly engage the slot so as to allow the user to urge a portion of the lens outside of the body of the pen via a button or the like mounted adjacent to an end of the lens. The lens may be formed in a fresnel configuration, and is mounted such that the second end of the lens remains in the slot so as to support the portion of the lens removed from the slot. The removed portion is configured to suspend from the writing utensil body, in the vicinity of the first end, so as to allow the user to view written indicia on a surface adjacent to the first end of the utensil.

  • Patent number: 5348269
    Abstract: A timed watering system for lawns, gardens, and the like, utilizing a flow actuated timer valve. The system is configured to provide a reliable and cost effective, easily implemented system for automatically dispensing a pre-determined amount of water on the area to be watered, with the valve shutting off the flow automatically once the desired amount of water has flowed through the valve. The present system can also be installed directly into the water system by municipal authorities or the like as a means of controlling the use of water and preventing waste of same. Upon reaching the predetermined maximum amount, flow to outdoor faucets would cease, and could not be re-initiated until the end of the month, when the meter is read and the valve re-set. This design may also be utilized in a reverse flow configuration, wherein the backflow pressure initiates closure of the valve, allowing for automated filling of tanks, or preventing damage to equipment to excessive pressure or lack of adequate flow.

  • Patent number: 5107596
    Abstract: A peep sight which is rotatably mounted to the string of the bow and includes a generally cylindrical body having a lateral bore therethrough, at least one sighting member angularly mounted on the outer wall of the body, and a weighted member displaced at an angle (generally between 40-90 degrees), also mounted on the outer wall of the body and emanating from the body in a position generally perpendicular relative the sighting member. The present invention provides a peep sighting system wherein the sight is always parallel with the horizon, notwithstanding the angle of the bow. Further, the sight is always in the correct alignment with the aiming eye of the user, unlike prior art methods, which were rigidly affixed to the string, and thereby often did not align appropriately with the user and target at critical times.
