Abstract: An improved illuminable umbrella that automatically produces light on the apex of umbrella when in its open position. The hollow shaft (50) contains two electric wires (92, 94) that connects the conductive plates (32a, 32b, 44) at each end of hubs, to the power supply (66) at the stump of the umbrella, and the light emitting device (20) at the apex of umbrella. The conductive plates at each end of the hubs are aligned to contact when the pivotable hub slides, upward along the shaft, toward the stationary hub. When in contact, the electric circuitry is complete to activate the light emitting device. A manual controller (62) installed at the stump of the umbrella allows user to selectively turn off light emitting device when the umbrella is in open position.

Abstract: A conversion kit for an arrow rest having an elongated wire having two ends and a first loop between the first and second ends. Attached to the first end of the wire is a weight and the second end features a second loop. A connecting string attaches the first loop to a bus cable of an archery bow. The second loop is attached to an arrow rest which is attached to the archery bow. The conversion kit for an arrow rest allows the arrow rest to rotate faster so that the arrow rest does not interfere with an arrow when a user draws and releases the bus cable of the archery bow.
