Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a firearm has a base, at least one hinged surface securement member attached to a bottom surface of the base and an extensible firearm support port in the base. An upright locking member is removably placed within the extensible firearm support port. An extensible firearm support is removably connected to the upright locking member. A plurality of seating member ports are in the base and are arranged in symmetrical sets of four. The extensible firearm support has an outer extension tube member and an inner extension tube member slidably, removably and lockingly disposed within the outer extension tube member. The upright locking member is hingedly and removably attached to an end of the outer extension tube member. A firearm stabilization member is removably connected to an end of the inner extension tube member. The inner extension tube member is slidably and releasably locked to the outer extension tube member by a first locking pin.

Abstract: An automatic toilet flushing apparatus for a toilet having a toilet bowl, a cover member for selectively moving between an open and a closed position with respect to the toilet bowl, a water tank, and a trippable flapper valve for admitting water from the water tank into the toilet bowl when the flapper valve is tripped, the automatic toilet flushing apparatus including an actuating lever pivotally mounted about a first fulcrum, the actuating lever having a first end and a second end, a tripping lever pivotally mounted about a second fulcrum, the tripping lever also having a first end and a second end, a first link connecting the first end of the actuating lever to the flapper valve, a second link connecting the second end of the actuating lever to the second end of the tripping lever, and a tripping mechanism for initially pivoting the tripping lever about the second fulcrum and for thereafter releasing the tripping lever when the cover member is moved to the closed position with respect to the toilet bowl.

Abstract: An apparatus for feeding birds has a tubular support column. There is a plurality of tubular male platform linking columns. A tubular support cross-over column connects the tubular support column to one of the tubular male platform linking columns. There is a plurality of tubular feed distribution chamber columns and there is a plurality of feeding platforms having a link port. One of the tubular male linking columns, extending through the link port of one of the feeding platforms, removably connects the tubular support cross-over column to one of the tubular feed distribution chamber columns. Another one of the tubular male/linking columns, extending through the link port of another one of the feeding platforms, removably connects the one tubular feed distribution chamber column to another tubular feed distribution chamber column. A tubular feed direction column connects to each tubular feed distribution chamber column. A feed abutment plug is placed in the one feed distribution chamber column.

Abstract: A marker pen having a clear plastic disk at one end and a clear plastic hemispheric shaped member at the other end, proximate the nib whereby a small child can write or draw in a normal fashion, see through the plastic the results of his endeavors but is unable to place either end of the marker into the mouth. A cover is provided for storage and the ink is a non toxic water color.

Abstract: A quiver for safely storing and transporting hunting and target arrows including a symmetrically shaped two piece housing with means for selectively storing arrows and foam in the end of each section for preventing relative movement of the arrows. The two sections of the housing are joined by a rail and grove arrangement whereby the ends of the sections form a staggered interface, allowing convenient access to the arrows. A harness attached to the quiver allows it to be carried over the shoulder or in the hand as desired. When the quiver is joined and locked it is highly resistant to moisture and dampness.

Abstract: An artificial Christmas tree has a trunk. The trunk has a branch retaining rod and a plurality of branch retaining ports in the branch retaining rod. There is a branch retaining rod horizontal support member releasably attached to one end of the branch retaining rod. A branch retaining rod vertical support member is attached to another end of the branch retaining rod. There are a plurality of flexible branches. Each flexible branch has a flexible member and a plurality of artificial needles retained in the flexible member. The flexible member has an insertion end for insertion into a branch retaining port. There is an ornament retaining member releasably attached to the flexible branches. The ornament retaining member has a hinged retaining clip and a spring. The spring is attached to and biases the hinged retaining clip from an open position to an closed position.

Abstract: A game simulating financial events that a person encounters during the person's lifetime, including: a game board having disposed thereon a path of individual financial event indicia on which indicia playing pieces may land while traversing the path, the financial event indicia indicating, in some cases, mandatory or discretional financial transactions; one of the indicia being a starting point at which each player begins the game at a first predetermined age, with age advancing one year each time the starting point is passed, up to a second predetermined age at which the game terminates; first cards, each of which indicates thereon a job and a salary therefor, each player to draw one of the first cards when the game commences; second cards, each of which indicates thereon a type of business, the purchase price thereof, and the annual profits therefrom, one of the second cards to be drawn by a player, at the discretion thereof, when having a playing piece land on one of the indicia indicating a discretionary

Abstract: A storage shelf for storing items in the attic utilizing the roof trusses as supports for the shelves has a first and third support member rotatably connected to a second support member. There may be at least one stabilizing member attached to the first, second or third support member. Along with being rotatably connected to the second support member for adjustability, the first support member and the third support member may be removably connected to the second support member for ease of assembly and replacement. Brackets are used, along with fasteners to attach the shelf to the trusses.
