  • Patent number: 7922568
    Abstract: A device to assist in the field dressing of game animals, comprising two (2) tube portions which telescopingly slide inside of each another and mechanically secured at a desired length, is herein disclosed. The device may be used on different sized animals via a spring-loaded button and a plurality of button receiving holes. Each end of the device comprises a toothed portion which enables the device to better grip a carcass which is to be field dressed. Spiked end caps are also provided for increased anchoring of the device to the carcass. The device is preferably made of light-weight aluminum or similar materials and is provided with a belt mounted holster to allow the user to carry the device in the field. Such features allow the user to clean the animal carcass out while protecting the meat from spoilage by helping to aerate the meat for faster glazing.

  • Patent number: 7913395
    Abstract: The invention as presently conceived discloses a plumbing pipe cutter with an integral means of directing away residual water after a pipe is cut. The device comprises a conventional, low profile pipe cutter that is commonly used to cut copper water supply lines. Other cutters designed for polyvinylchloride (PVC) or other types of piping can likewise be adapted. The apparatus is further comprised of a transparent shield around the entire perimeter of the cutter and extending onto either pipe. At one end of the shield, approximately 8-10 inches from the cutter, the transparent material is flexibly gathered and routed to a short section of PVC tubing. The distal end of the tubing has a hose connector onto which a standard hose would be attached. When the apparatus is fully installed, residual water in cut pipes is collected and directed away without harming the surrounding areas.

  • Patent number: 7913726
    Abstract: A trailer-mounted wood splitter with an integral platform, log boom and grappler provides an extended table area to facilitate the splitting of wood. The apparatus comprises a hydraulic-powered wood splitting assembly operated by an internal combustion engine mounted to a trailer. A horizontal surface worktable is provided all around the upper surface of the wood splitting plane. In such a manner, any wood that is placed upon the platform for splitting does not fall off after splitting is complete. This allows the user to reposition any remaining sections of wood for additional splitting without having to pick them up off the ground. Once completely split, the wood can be directed to the side of the table or platform for stacking or transportation. The apparatus further comprises a log boom with a grappler attached to a far end for moving and manipulating felled logs.

  • Patent number: 7908942
    Abstract: A device designed to aid in opening jars is herein disclosed, comprising a general form of a lever with a movable “C”-shaped jaw section. An upper jaw is designed to press down in the center area of a lid while a lower jaw presses upward on the edge or rim of the lid. In such a manner the device will break the seal of the jar and “pop” the lid. Once the seal has been broken, it is generally a simple issue to open the lid. An alternate embodiment provides for a lower adjustable section of the jaw which operates in a slip-joint manner similar to that of a pair of Channel-Lock® pliers to accommodate any size lid. The handle is fitted with a grip area for each finger and is covered with non-slip rubber to facilitate use and comfort. The device is generally small in size and can be easily stored in a kitchen drawer.

  • Patent number: 7900650
    Abstract: A system that provides for the remote control shutoff of the main water supply to a structure in an unattended manner is herein disclosed. The system comprises a solenoid activated shutoff valve typically mounted immediately downstream of a main water shutoff valve and a locking enclosure containing a remote control switch and audible alarm unit. A manual bypass valve is provided as an override should it be required. Because the system requires electricity to operate, a general power failure will automatically shut off of the water supply. Further, activation of the system is accomplished using a remote control to control the system from a distance.

  • Patent number: 7892154
    Abstract: An apparatus and method designed to strengthen, develop, and rehabilitate the anatomy of the human ankle is herein disclosed, comprising a large stable floor base and a plurality of resistant shock absorber-like members extending therefrom a foot securing platform. A user's foot is placed thereon and connected thereto the foot platform by toe and heel cuffs. Each motion resistant cylinder has adjustment means for reducing or adding resistance. In use, the attached lower leg and foot is restrained in all planar and vertical axes; however, the user is able to move their foot in a vertical and orbital manner against the resistance of the cylinders resulting in rehabilitation and/or strengthening of the muscles, tendons and ligaments surrounding the ankle. Improving ankle strength and mobility using this apparatus would have athletic, fitness, and therapeutic benefits.

  • Patent number: 7891591
    Abstract: An apparatus that crushes and crumbles crackers or similar foodstuffs in preparation for use with various food recipes, is herein disclosed. The apparatus is comprised of a plastic tower approximately two and one-half (2½) inches on a side by eight (8) inches in height. A top cover is removable to load whole crackers thereinto. When the cover is replaced, a switch is activated that energizes a variable speed motor that rotates a plurality of crumbling blades. The blades have serrated or straight edges which crush the crackers. As the crackers are crumbled, the pieces fall into a drawer-like lower compartment. Once the motor is turned off, the base compartment is slid out manually and the cracker pieces are then dispensed into the food dish. Crumbling crackers with such a method allows for cracker crumb consistency for recipes and reduced mess.
