Abstract: The gripping football shirt is comprised of lycra, cotton, nylon, polypropylene or spandex blends with neoprene strips mounted on the inside of the anatomical arms. Then neoprene strips give a player a non-slip grip upon the football during retrieving and possession. The shirt also allows for increased protection against skin abrasions while playing on natural and artificial surfaces.

Abstract: A coordination kit for choosing suitable fabrics, paints, wall coverings, window treatments, fabrics for chairs etcetera, rugs and other floor coverings to achieve a desired decorator effect. The kit includes at least two nomographs, mounted to a substrate, and numbering up to a number equal to the number of elements of the total decoration effect that the user desires to choose. Each nomograph (nomogram), includes a rotatable upper layer having at least two windows, which overlies a lower layer having viewable segments, each of which segments has a plurality of cells, all of which cells contain a set of predetermined generally accepted color spectrum specimens, from either the entire color spectrum or a portion thereof, which specimens are used in the selection of the coordinated decorator effect desired. The specimens may be from but not limited to actual or photographic representations of tile, fabric, paint, rugs and other aspects of a room's decor.

Abstract: An apparatus for the metered delivery of beneficial insects such as but not limited to Trichogramma adaptable for mounting on a tractor, airplane, or a backpack blower carried by ground personnel. The apparatus employs a binder injection system for impact upon the metered beneficial insects in a moving airstream for delivery to specific targets. The process of delivery constitutes the controlled metering of a desired amount of a beneficial insect into an airstream for impact by a measured amount of a binder solution such that the insects become coated, after which the insects are then delivered to their target area by a high velocity airstream.

Abstract: A terminal section for a crossbeam attachable to a vertical column having a plurality of keyhole apertures, by such terminal section, as employed in rack storage systems, which terminal section features a pair of vertically spaced studs with a safety lock disposed through the terminal section therebetween. The safety lock includes a handle portion connected by a stud segment to a latch which is oppositely directed from the handle, such that when the studs and such latch are disposed in a trio of keyhole apertures of the vertical column, and when the handle is disposed downward the latch is upward whereby disengagement can not transpire until the handle is pointed up, and the latch down to permit separation of the terminal section from the vertical column.

Abstract: A storage shed of a height less than that of an adult person, and which is accessed through a front door or ramp, when the roof portions are in an open supported position. The shed is intended for use in locations where local regulations prevent the placement of buildings that exceed the height of a residential fence. The superstructure of the shed; namely, the walls and roof portion(s) is formed of metal frame members which are covered over with a plywood or vinyl siding. The roof covering may be corrugated galvanized sheeting, or wood optionally covered by shingles as well as transparent or translucent plastic. The roof may be opened and closed by the operation of a series of water operated or electrically operated rams.

Abstract: A self-adjusting crutch having a floating and moveable central leg. A prepositionable height fastener cooperates with a coupling collar, both of which are disposed on the central leg to predetermine the amount of extension. A fastener and coupler cooperate, for the leg to be extended and retracted repeatedly the exact same distance. The floating moveable leg can be releasably retained within the arm piece.

Abstract: A circular saw blade having a plurality of spaced sets of teeth, each set including a first forward ripper tooth and a second rearward cleaner tooth. The top surface of each member of the pair is slanted in an opposite direction, while the ripper tooth of each pair is preferably partially chamfered on its two front edges. Each member of the pair has its two side surfaces tapering inwardly toward its respective rear surface. The cutting face of the ripper tooth is longer than the cutting face of the associated respective cleaner tooth. Each ripper tooth is preferably spaced about 15 degrees around the outer periphery of the blade from the next adjacent ripper tooth, while each associated cleaner tooth is located about 5 degrees behind the respective ripper tooth. In this manner, a single blade may be used as an all-purpose cutting blade to make clean cuts in various media without splintering.

Abstract: A fracture reducing apparatus having a main rod comprising a handle section and a lever section and a pair of arms capable of riding on the lever section, each of which arms can be retained at a particular location in the lever section by the engagement of a thumb bolt disposed in the arm to frictionally engage the lever section. The apparatus is adapted to be autoclavable, and the use thereof reduces the incidence of radiation exposure from X-ray of the hands of the fracture reducing personnel. The device is used for the reduction of long bone fractures.

Abstract: A replacement cutting head for a bump head cutter of a string trimmer which replacement head can also be utilized as a blade assembly replacement for a power lawn mower. The cutting head is conventionally attached to the drive shaft of the tool, and it features a whirling disk having a plurality of heavy gauge flexible members attached thereto. These members extend outwardly due to centrifugal force upon actuation of the tool and which due to the high rotational speed of the cutting head, cut through plants of all kinds.

Abstract: A valve actuator for an automatic fluid control valve actuator which fits an Ames Company predetermined size valve housing and which is also suitable for use in a Cla-Val automatic fluid control valve housing of the same predetermined size and which valve actuator is interchangeable with the actuator of each respective manufacturer. The valve actuators range from 4 inches up to 12 inches and can be used as the original actuator of a set size within the range in either manufacturer's housing. The actuator includes a main body disposed on a shaft with a diaphragm and a diaphragm disk plate adjacent the main body on the shaft, all of which are retained by nuts threadedly engaged to the shaft.

Abstract: A foldable stand or support for a digital satellite receiver dish antenna, which has a trio of legs, which legs attach to one end of a neck portion of the device, and upon which neck there is attached at the second end a pivoting head adapted to receive the dish antenna. Two of the legs rotate from a first stowed position to a second in use position to provide minimal storage requirements during periods of nonuse. A weight stabilization means is also provided.

Abstract: A structure having an interior living space, an optional cab for operation of a propulsion system, and at least one expanding chamber. Each chamber is a box with one open wall. The structure may be a towable trailer, a recreational vehicle body on a truck chassis, or a motorized recreational vehicle, or a trailer with a support system instead of wheels for stationary use, or a fixed building on a foundation. The structure's living space is open at the interface with a respective expansion chamber. For use, a stowed chamber moves from within the structure, between its outer walls, to an expanded position external of the structure. A pair of cantilevered deployable rails are moved, prior in time to a chamber exodus, outwardly from beneath the structure to support the chamber to be expanded.
