Abstract: A beach and lawn table which is affixed to the ground on which it rests by an auger projecting from the base of the table. The table has a single axially located leg which also provides a holder for the shaft of an umbrella. The table top is removably mounted on the upper end of the table's leg and also serves as a wrench to screw the auger into the ground until the base of the table rests firmly on the ground.

Abstract: A carrier for a portable audio device to be worn on the upper arm of an individual. The carrier has an open top to receive the portable radio or similar audio device and is made of fabric in the shape of an open-topped rectangular box with a length of elastic tape sewn in the tape's stretched position into the inside of the front horizontal midsection of the carrier, the elastic band designed to hold the audio device in place within the carrier. The carrier is joined to a circular band of elastic material designed to fit snugly about the upper arm of an individual thereby permitting the audio device to be carried securely on the individual's upper arm.

Abstract: Apparatus attached to a shower head for cleansing parts of the body with a stream of medicated liquid. The apparatus includes a control valve assembly between the water supply pipe and the shower head and a flexible hose having one end connected to the control valve. The other end of the flexible tube lies within an elongated cylindrical mixing chamber with a small hole in the tube spaced from the end of the tube also lying within the mixing chamber. The forward end of the cylindrical mixing chamber is sealed by the swivelable ball-shaped end of a dispensing nozzle from which a mixture of water and medicant is discharged.

Abstract: An improved eating fork having a conventional handle, an extended flat body portion and a plurality of short conical tines each having a small smoothly rounded end. The short tines project along parallel axes from the forward end of the flat body portion extending from the fork's handle. The body portion has a width slightly greater than the distance across the bases of the plurality of tines. The flat body portion of the improved fork contains in its upper surface a generally rectangular depression. The tines have a length about one fifth the length of the fork's flat body portion. The surfaces which join the tines to the flat body portion are all curved and all surfaces of the fork are polished during manufacture of the fork.

Abstract: A three dimensional game played by two players each having five identical playing pieces. The game is played on three similar boards or grids lying in three vertically spaced parallel planes. Each board contains thirteen spaces, nine of which form a central square with one of the four remaining spaces lying adjacent to the center of each of the four sides of the central square. To begin the game, the first player places one of his five pieces in the four outermost spaces and in the central space of the uppermost gameboard called the Alpha grid while the opposing player places his five pieces in the corresponding spaces of the lowermost gameboard called the Omega grid. The middle board is called the neutral grid. The central space of the Alpha and the Omega grids is that player's base and the object of the game is to capture the opponent's base by landing a piece on it or by first capturing all of the opponent's pieces.

Abstract: Mechanism for adjustably moving two separate series of water fountain nozzles. The mechanism includes a pair of elongated push rods being driven in opposite directions by a single electric motor having two eccentric arms. The push rods are each separately connected to a spaced series of fountain nozzle assemblies by a slip ring adjustably connected to an elongated length of pipe forming part of each nozzle assembly. By varying the location of the slip ring along the length of the nozzle assembly's pipe, infinite variations in the extent of the arc through which the nozzle's tip will sweep during oscillation of the push bars is achieved.

Abstract: An articulated head, neck and shoulder protective device particularly adapted for use by football players. The device includes a shoulder protector having an annular track at its center large enough for the wearer's head to pass through. A helmet assembly is rotatably mounted upon the annular track. The helmet assembly includes an annular ring which rides on the shoulder protector's annular track, a circular helmet carrying housing having two upwardly projecting flanges and a helmet pivotably mounted on the two flanges of the helmet carrying housing.

Abstract: Apparatus for providing a sight glass in the lower gearcase of a marine engine wherein the gearcase has a circular opening in its side. The circular opening has three concentric segments, the outermost segment has the largest diameter and is internally threaded. The center segment is sized to accomodate a disc-shaped transparent sight glass. The innermost segment has a diameter less than the center segment and the surface between the center and innermost segments contains an annular groove. An O-ring or resilient waterproof material fits into the annular groove and the disc-shaped sight glass is fitted into the center segment of the opening in the grearcase with its outer edge pressed against the O-ring. A ring-shaped window cover is then threadedly fitted into the outermost segment of the opening in the gearcase and firmly pressed against the sight glass and locked in place by a lock nut screwed into a threaded hole in the adjoining edges of the window cover and the gearcase.

Abstract: A combination napkin and table setting holder made entirely of paper. The device consists of a single sheet of absorbent paper in rectangular form approximately twelve inches by sixteen inches wide which contains a single straight line of perforations which divides the sheet into a twelve inch by twelve inch square napkin and a rectangle approximately twelve inches by four inches wide to which is attached a second sheet of paper having the same width as the width of the aforesaid rectangle and a height of approximately eight inches having its two opposite sides and lower edge bonded to the lower edge and two sides of the aforesaid rectangle to form an open topped pocket designed to receive a knife, fork and spoon or similar utensils making up an individual table setting.

Abstract: Apparatus including an oral syringe for attachment to a shower head for cleaning the teeth and gums while showering. The oral syringe is connected to water flowing under pressure to the shower head through a unique valving assembly which diverts a manually adjustable portion of the water flowing to the shower head into a passageway lying at right angles to the direction of the flow of the water into the shower head. A manually adjustable valve stem including an O-ring valve is located in the passageway and controls the flow of water through an axial passageway in the valve stem. A flexible hose connected to the rear end of the valve stem conveys the water to the oral syringe. The valve stem also controls a diverter valve which can be adjusted to cut off the flow of water to the shower head in the event of low water line pressure to insure sufficient water pressure to the oral syringe for proper cleaning of the teeth and gums.

Abstract: A clip-on belt loop assembly for fastening onto the waistband of a garment having no integral belt loops. The assembly includes a rigid elongated flat base plate having near its upper end a flange projecting from the base plate, a belt loop made of flexible material such as leather or fabric, and a clip such as used to fasten suspenders to the waistband of a garment. The ends of the belt loop are riveted or otherwise fastened to the opposite ends of the base plate. The clip is fastened to the upper end of the base plate preferably by the same rivet used to fasten the upper end of the belt loop to the base plate.

Abstract: An assembly for a boat having an internal combustion engine which uses sea water as its coolant and a bilge which collects sea water. The assembly comprises a Y-shaped pipe whose tail is connected to the water pump of the internal combustion engine, a first manually operable on-off valve for controlling the flow of sea water into the water pump located in one arm of the Y-shaped pipe, a second manually operable on-off valve for controlling the flow of an alternative source of water into the water pump located in the second arm of the Y-shaped pipe, and a length of flexible hose attached to the end of the second arm of the Y-shaped pipe, the free end of said hose being alternatively connectable to a source of fresh water or to the sea water in the bilge. The assembly may include a switch mounted on the Y-shaped pipe whenever the on-off valve between the engine's water pump and the hose leading to the sea is closed.
