Abstract: A motorized wheel spinner having a spinning wheel cover that is attached to a bushing on a shaft of an electric motor. The axis of the wheel, and thus also of the wheel axle, is coincident with the axis of the motor shaft and spinning cover. The motor can be disposed within a tubular axle, within the end of a solid axle, or, alternately, the case of the motor can comprise a surface upon which the wheel itself rotates. The motorized wheel spinner can be selectively rotated or stopped via a remote control.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wheeled handcart having a removable debris bin, a partition, a ramp for sweeping, raking or otherwise sliding debris into the cart or its bin, and pivotable handles, wherein the cart may be utilized with or without the debris bin, and wherein the cart may be utilized in a vertical or horizontal position. To assist in preventing the debris or other content of the cart from spilling out, a partition is provided that slidably engages within tracks formed on the interior of the cart. When the debris bin is not installed, the partition serves to keep debris and other contents within the cart. Handles are pivotably connected to the cart to allow not only a multitude of advantaged lifting angles, but also the lifting of the handles such that the handles will not interfere with the loading or unloading of the cart. Alternative embodiments provide an opening in the partition for providing access to the debris bin, and an opening, rearward of the cart, useful for the spreading of granular materials.

Abstract: Animal attractant bubbles are formed utilizing a bubble forming solution which includes a sufficient amount of a surface active agent to form the bubbles and a sufficient amount of a animal attractant agent, such as natural or artificial female animal estrous, to provide the attractant characteristic of the bubbles. The animal attractant agent may be natural or synthetic extracts, oils, olifactory agents, perfumes, and fragrances of plants.

Abstract: A hands-free, electrically operated food washing device having a fluid dispenser, such as a reservoir, a wash compartment, a motor-driven agitator, a removable food basket, and a drain for removing soiled fluid from the device. Also provided are controls allowing a user to vary wash cycle parameters.

Abstract: A firearm heat sink is provided that may be easily affixed to, and removed from, a firearm. The heat sink is provided with a plurality of cooling fins. In a preferred embodiment, the firearm heat sink is held in place by a cooperating collet and ring on each end of the heat sink. In an alternate embodiment, the firearm heat sink is formed in halves and is mechanically fastened together about the barrel of the firearm. In either embodiment, an underlying heat conducting material optionally may be added to insure a proper thermal path between the firearm and the heat sink.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the present invention comprises a layer having carpeted upper surface and/or other rubber-like padding material covered by a translucent, elastomeric sheet. The upper elastomeric layer may have downwardly depending projections that engage the carpeted upper surface of the inner padding layer, thereby reducing the likelihood of the upper elastomeric layer from slipping relative to the inner padding layer. The upper elastomeric layer is sewn or otherwise affixed to the carpeted surface to prevent slipping and creasing of the upper elastomeric layer relative to the padding during use. In addition, in a preferred embodiment for use on carpeted surfaces, the lower elastomeric layer may have downwardly depending projections that engage in the underlying carpet surface to reduce slipping of the device relative to the underlying surface. An overcovering material may be provided to further protect the upper elastomeric layer from excessive soiling.
