Abstract: A watercraft hull protector for preventing damage to the lower bow surface of a waterborne craft such as a boat or jet ski, comprising a thin, elongated, flexible, but waterproof sheet-like member having a length substantially greater than the width thereof, and capable of being wound into a roll along the elongated length thereof for storage purposes. An elongated cord element coupled through a grommet located adjacent the center of a reinforced portion extending transversely across the front end portion of the sheet-like member facilitates deploying the mat on the shoreline with a substantial portion of the sheet-like member extending out of the water, traversing the muddy, rocky portion of the bank adjacent the water line, and with the rear end portion of the mat submerged below the water line.

Abstract: A retractable tubing reel device utilized in conjunction with a oxygen supply tank and nasal oxygen catheter, the device having an extended length of tubing allowing a patient greater movement beyond the immediate area of the oxygen tank, the device having a mechanism for retracting any excess extended tubing thereby preventing constriction and tangling of the tubing. The device retracting the tubing into a housing where the tubing is rewound in a manner which also prevents constriction and tangling of the tubing inside the housing. The device constructed for facilitated servicing of the tubing through easy removal of the coiled tubing from the housing of the device.

Abstract: A golf bag insert and a method for manufacturing the same, the insert comprised of a plurality of elongated six-sided cells attached to each other in configurations that maximize space and minimize mass resulting in a lighter weight insert. Each golf club has its own individual elongated six-sided cell which eliminates entanglement of clubs and limits damage to golf club shafts and grips. The method of manufacturing consists of producing, positioning and attaching a plurality of modular units to form an insert comprised of a plurality of elongated six-sided cells.

Abstract: Structure for stripping cotton bolls from cotton stalks comprising a rubber batt having a rounded head and a toed foot; said foot being formed so that it may be installed into a lipped channel strip for connection to a rotatable shaft. The rounded head of the batt provides a buffering contact area between the batt and a cotton stalk thereby preventing excessive chipping of bark from the cotton stalk during harvesting operations. This results in production of a more pure cotton product by minimizing a cotton stripper's collection of foreign matter together with the desired cotton bolls.

Abstract: Structure and method for extracting juice from fruit and vegetable matter. The container comprises a flexible pleated body that tends to an expanded configuration. Each end of the body has rigid caps screwably attached that are flat on their exterior ends for receiving an axial force imparted by a press. The straining cap is perforated thereby allowing the extracted juice to pass from the container. A means for filtering the juice is placed upon the straining cap. A plug is attached as an integral part of either cap. Said plug evacuates the volume of the collapsed container in the final stages of extraction.
