Abstract: A device and method for optimumly holding a personal watercraft while making repairs or improvements without damaging the watercraft. The device in its preferred form allows a personal watercraft to be held with specialized mounting sections and plates and further mounted between stands which allow the watercraft to be rotated. When mounted with the stands, the watercraft may be locked at a user desired rotational angle to make repairs or maintenance easier and more convenient to the user. The stands preferably have pivoting wheels which allow translational movement for the watercraft and stands combination.

Abstract: A device for radial optic neurotomy comprising a radial optic neurotomy knife and its method of use. Comprising in a preferred embodiment, a uniquely formed asymmetrical “V” shaped tip having a first sharpened leg and a second dulled leg and a depth gauge. In a preferred embodiment said depth gauge comprises a laser mark which is substantially perpendicular with a central axis of a tip holding shaft. The device is specially designed for performing the radial optic neurotomy (RON) surgical procedure and thereby promoting relaxation of the scleral outlet.

Abstract: A latching hinge masking device and method of use comprising two half cavities mounted with a living hinge and a unique latching mechanism and relief portions for accommodating extending screwheads. The device latches and fits around a mounted half hinge and covers the hinge completely during painting, staining, or finishing operations of a door or doorway. The device and method of use allows for easy and convenient attachment and removal and further allows for repeated re-use of the device.

Abstract: A vegetable and plant growing cage and method of use and manufacture comprising a tapered, flexible, and lightweight helical coil which is capable of attaching to a conventional stake and which allows a gardener, farmer, or grower to alleviate the need for tying a plant during the growing season. The device allows a plant to grow within the coil and further allows the coil to support the branches, stems, fruits, and flowers of the plant. The apparatus and method of use allows for the user to non-destructively collapse or compress the helical coil into a substantially flat helicoid for storage during the non-growing season.

Abstract: A fiber stuffing and fluffing machine utilized for fiber stuffing toys, pillows, and other skins having a venturi vacuum system, a unique agitation cavity and blade arrangement, and various unique mechanical and electrical features which provide improved stuffing and fluffing capabilities over the prior art. The art of the present invention is capable of integration into a single stand alone unit which performs improved fluffing and stuffing operations without the need for external pneumatic sources. The art of the present invention, in its various embodiments, also utilizes scroll compressors or turbine compressors heretofore not found in prior art stuffing and fluffing applications. The present art further provides means for separating foreign objects from the ingested stuffing fibers to protect the fluffer blower.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for quickly inserting or removing and holding a roll of toilet paper along with its method of use which provides rollmounts which flex when a toilet paper or paper towel roll is pushed into the rollholder onto which each rollmount is installed. The rollmounts retract into the cylinder of the paper roll during use and flex out of the cylinder when the roll is removed. The apparatus and method allows for easy and convenient installation and removal of a roll with the use of one hand. The apparatus is usable in conjunction with existing toilet paper or paper towel roll dispensers or may be used apart with its own “U” shaped form.

Abstract: A device and method for straightening earthen walls which allows installation of shoring and forms with minimal manual labor and risk to life. The device comprises a blade joined with two beams in a substantially U-shape all of which is attached to and works in conjunction with a backhoe bucket. The beams attach onto a backhoe bucket and allows the blade to cut earthen walls. An alternative embodiment directly attaches the substantially U-shape to the boom of a backhoe.

Abstract: A portable cam and lever actuated press which utilizes the substantial force available from an air spring to actuate one or more lever arms. The substantial force available from an air spring and the specialty cam system provided allows the device to perform clinching, crimping, punching, stenciling, riveting, stamping, holding, or other operations which would normally be performed with much larger and heavier equipment when the proper punches and dies are installed onto the lever arms. The unit operates pneumatically without the need for hydraulics or hydraulically assisted components.
