Abstract: A hanger is disclosed for use with a fishing line to a lure and provides rigid arms, suspended from a float, through whose distal ends the line is threaded the combination. In this way, movement of one part of the device will serve to effect movement of the other parts of the combination depending on the geometry of the arms.

Abstract: A fluid containing mattress including exterior support in the form of side frames and a bottom support. Flexible, contractible bellows are distributed over the bottom support and are connected thereto. Tubing connects the bellows to adjacent bellows to permit fluid flow between them. A selected amount of fluid is provided in the bellows. A top cover including a cushion extends over the bellows. Coil springs are mounted on top of the bellows and support the top cover. Elastomeric members connect each coil spring to adjacent coil springs.

Abstract: A vessel for maintaining a heated liquid hot, includes a receptacle to house the heated liquid, having an electrical heating element integral therewith and power connection leads electrically connected to the heating element; the vessel may suitably include a cup and support plate suitable for coffee and similar hot beverages.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for paint spray gun assemblies includes a cleaning cabinet, a paint cleaning fluid flow-line system and a pneumatic system for circulation of the cleaning fluid through the flow-line system; fluid outlets in the flow-line system eject cleaning fluid under pressure within the cabinet; paint spray guns are supported in the cabinet with paint passage interiors of the guns in direct fluid flow communication with fluid outlets; typically there is a plurality of fluid outlets for cleaning a plurality of spray gun assemblies simultaneously, a time control in the pneumatic system interrupts the circulation of cleaning fluid with a predetermined period, usually less than 60 seconds.

Abstract: A container body is formed of a polymer material and contains coloring matter effective to render the body substantially opaque to electromagnetic radiation having a wave length of about 5 to about 600 nm and translucent or semi-transparent to electromagnetic radiation having a wave length of about 600 to about 800 nm. The container permits storage and transport of photosensitive fluids, for example, body fluids for test purposes which contain bilirubin and other photo-degradable substances, but at the same time the contents of the container body are apparent from visual inspection.

Abstract: A tubular elongate pole comprises a pole wall having a plurality of small diameter wires embedded in a polymer-containing matrix bonded to the wires to form an encapsulating shell of relatively low weight and which is substantially impermeable to aqueous corrosive liquids; the matrix has a density greater than that of concrete conventionally employed in reinforced concrete poles and yet the pole is considerably lighter in weight and indeed of a weight comparable to that of a wood pole.

Abstract: A device for catching and hitting a ball, such as a tennis ball, including a pocket adapted to catch a ball, closed at one end and open at the other end, and a hand enclosure in which is a handle for holding the device. A loop-forming frame extends from and is connected to one side of the enclosure and the open end of the pocket is connected to this frame. The preferred device has three exterior surfaces provided thereon and adapted for hitting a ball. A ball game can be played with the device either by a lone player or by a number of players.

Abstract: A bottle opener for bottles having twist-off caps including a container having an end wall with an opening therein adapted for insertion of a bottle-mounted cap therein. A cylindrical member is connected to and extends into the container from the opening. The cylindrical member is open at the end thereof opposite the opening in the end wall and has a passageway adapted for passage of bottle caps through the cylindrical member and into the container. Longitudinal ridges on the interior of the cylindrical member hold an inserted bottle-mounted cap so that turning of the container about a longitudinal axis thereof extending perpendicular to the end wall causes the removal of the cap from its bottle. Preferably the opener includes means such as resilient fingers for preventing detached caps in the cylindrical member from falling out through the opening in the end wall.
