Abstract: A self-centering wall anchor 10, 100 having an outwardly threaded hollow cylindrical body 101, 111 with a flanged proximal end and a cutting distal end. The hollow cylindrical body diminishes in diameter toward the distal cutting end 20, 110 in the form of a pointed dome with a pointed centering tip 22, 103 at the center axis of the anchor. An inner bore 14, 105 extends continuously from its opening at the proximal end of the anchor along the center axis of the cylindrical body to the centering tip at the distal end where it is partially closed because of the disposition of the centering tip at the center axis. The distal end of the bore is in the form of a deep flute 21, 105a which communicates and is part of the inner bore and is defined at its outer edges by a leading cutting edge 23, 107 and a trailing edge 24, 108 of the single cutter, with the leading cutting edge extending from the pointed tip in a curved distention.
Abstract: A device for transporting a child to and from a play location under control and propulsion by an adult. The device combines a stroller and a toy vehicle in the same mechanism. The stroller configuration transports the child, facing forward, under adult control, to and from the play location. The stroller includes a backrest for supporting the back and head of the child while resting. The stroller configuration includes a handle for propulsion and control by the adult. A toy vehicle configuration can be ridden and controlled by the child. The device can be quickly and easily transmogrified back and forth between the stroller and toy vehicle configurations. All components of the stroller configuration are stowed on board the vehicle configuration, and visa versa.
Abstract: A fishing rod and reel holder having a body which includes a cylinder having openings at both ends of the cylinder for receiving rod handles. A J-shaped slot in the cylinder accepts a reel mount. An elastic tensile member, such as a shock cord, biases the reel mount against the tip of the curl of the J, thereby securing the rod and reel within the cylinder. A recess, approximately coaxial with the cylinder, and distal from the cylinder, supports the rod's shaft towards the front of the holder. Suction cups mount the body securely to a surface, such as a car top.
Abstract: A dynamic color separation display CRT having an electron beam forming structure for beam generation and electrostatic impingement control. The electron gun forms a group of electron beams and includes a multi-aperture G1 grid for receiving the electron beam group. The group of electron beams overlap and combine to provide an impingement pattern that matches a primary color stripe without use of a shadow mask when focused on the output screen surface. An alternate preferred embodiment includes a grooved cathode to control the size, shape, and profile of the emitted beam.
