The handle and frame are constructed of a hard, durable material, and the handle comprises a textured or coated slip resistant surface. The flat circular base allows the handle to rotate or be locked in position, while the base and suction cup remain stationary.

Abstract: A mirror assembly having a versatile clamping assembly for use during hunting or other outdoor sporting activities comprises an adjustable mirror which provides a user with a wide viewing angle to the rear and periphery of a current location. The mirror assembly is attached to an upper end of a flexible arm element that provides multiple degrees of articulation as desired by the user. A bottom end of the arm element is affixed to a clamping mechanism which enables the assembly to attach to various sized branches, railings, platforms, or other structures. The clamping mechanism further provides a pair of thumb-screw fasteners on the handle which enable the clamp to be secured to inserted branches or similar objects.

Abstract: A neck-mounted personal eating apparatus designed to facilitate eating by a person away from a table, is herein disclosed. The apparatus comprises a rectangular tray equipped with a raised lip around the entire perimeter to prevent liquid spills or loss of crumbs. The short side edges of the tray are provided with an adjustable padded neck strap which goes up and around the rear neck area of the user and attaches to the opposite sides of the tray. The neck strap comprises a flexible plastic “U”-shape strap having a plurality of holes to allow for adjustment. The holes connect to molded ball-end appendages located on either side of the tray. In such a manner, the neck strap can be easily resized to suit all size users from large adults to small children. Additionally, the apparatus comprises an angled fixed length strap that connects to the neck strap to help keep the tray level and prevent movement during use.

Abstract: A flame suppression device adaptable to conventional barbeque grills for emergency use while grilling food comprises a water reservoir holding approximately two (2) gallons of water is located at the base of the grill is herein disclosed. A manual operated pump provides pressurized water from the reservoir into a tube which is routed to a valve and then to a plurality of nozzles located directly above the cooking surface and above the heating element. To operate while grilling, a person would open the valve to release water to extinguish any unwanted flames.

Abstract: A motorized pull-out, drop-down, closet storage shelf system is herein disclosed. The shelf system provides a track system and a series of roller slides which propel a shelf forward and downward from its conventional stowed position to a lowered position by simply pressing a button. The access position allows comfortable access for someone sitting in a wheelchair, for a child, or for someone unable to reach the shelf without assistance. The shelf system is capable of transporting heavy loads of up to fifty (50) pounds. When shelf access is complete, the motorized mechanism returns the shelf to its original position.

Abstract: A rifle scope alignment device includes a telescopic sight and a mount to position and align a crosshair reticule in a repeatable manner.
