  • Weightlifting exercise device providing selected body positions of use
    Patent number: 6004245
    Abstract: A weight-supporting user-encircling frame into which the user positions him/her self preparatory to lifting the frame with weights of a selected extent mounted thereon.

  • Enzyme infusion process for preparing whole peeled citrus fruit
    Patent number: 5989615
    Abstract: The removal of albedo in the preparation of a citrus fruit for consumption, in which a known aqueous solution of pectinase enzyme is used for its known albedo-removal function, but in the present circumstances a vacuum is used to primarily draw the pectinase enzyme to the interface of the albedo and the citrus fruit and only nominally to the interface of the albedo and the peel of the citrus fruit, so that removal of the peel carries with it the albedo and uncovers the citrus fruit in a desirable albedo-free condition.

The in-use raised position is maintained by a friction fit established between the difference sizes of conical pot and sleeve. During non-use of the sleeve, it is held in its encircling position by the weight of the conical pot and growing earth of the plant.
