Abstract: Apparatus for the laser guidance of the aiming function used by the shooter, and fiber optics to increase the usability of the weapon. One type of adjustment is provided by a vertically movable and vertically adjustable cam member; and a second adjustment is provided through arm linkage which adjusts a rotatable laser holding member. Futher features are the provision of a novel adjustable base means to adjust the laser for horizontal (windage) adjustment and also provided a standard of testing feature for testing vertical alignment. Fiber optics gives the shooter the means by which he is able to aim and shoot at farther targets in comparison to the lasers' limits of rangeability; and this fiber optic feature supplements the laser feature of the sight device, and the sight provides a novel sight pin feature. An adjustable lens device provides that the laser beam can be adjustably expanded rather than constricted.
Abstract: A novel head for a golf putter. Its block body has a recess which extends completely from the bottom sole to the top face of the block body, the recess having side faces and a forward-facing back face.A supplemental body, which is formed from a material which is substantially lighter in specific gravity than the specific gravity of the remainder of the block body, fills the recess, extending between the side faces of the recess, and forwardly from the back face of the recess completely forwardly of the block body, providing the hitting surface in hitting the ball.Other features are provided.
Abstract: A dual-band radio monitoring apparatus which provides the reception of transmissions on commercial AM/FM frequency band(s) to be monitored and interrupted by transmission(s) on a controlling VHF/UHF frequency band(s), especially for use by motor vehicle racing fans so that they may have a continual AM/FM reception which is muted for reception of the controlling VHF/UHF transmission of conversation between the race car driver and his pit crew.
Abstract: As a supplement to this inventor's prior U.S. Pat. No. 5,727,621, this invention provides, in the combination with that patent, the additional concept of a terminal receiver means. It provides appropriate cleansing and testing features for the water which has served its geothermal purpose.The thermally-used geoexchange water is routed back to the primary water line at an inlet thereinto which is close to the primary water line's outlet from which that water had been drawn, providing a great savings of a lengthy "return" line, entered upstream of the distant primary water-treatment means as contemplated in that prior patent as being the presumably necessary way of certainty of elimination of any contamination entered to water by the geothermal usage.
Abstract: A lock device for holding "open" position of a person's mandible (lower) jaw bone, for facilitating medical treatments such as emergency intubation and other procedures, dental work, etc., particularly on a patient who is either unconscious or for some other reason is not cooperative.A pair of force lugs, carried on support-beam members, are for imposing a force oppositely against a person's mandible teeth set and upper or skull (maxilla) teeth set. The beam members are pivotally interconnected; and have an extension arm outwardly and rearwardly extending from the outer end, being a retroflex member which in use of the device extends generally horizontally and rearwardly along the person's cheek, providing ease of manual grasping and other advantages.
Abstract: An auxiliary module for computer apparatus providing the basic function of an organizer as to the slack or excess wad of cord which connects the mouse roll-around input device to the computer. In one form it provides a can-like shell releasably held over an upright spool-like spindle, the shell and spindle being movably and releasably held together for the user to manage the lengthy strip of excess cord, the shell both retaining and concealing the excess cord; and in another embodiment the cord is kept interiorly of a body member by lipped flanges carried by a spindle portion of the body member, all yielding both attractiveness of the work area and avoidance of the bother by the mouse cord as the mouse is manipulated in its use of controlling the computer screen's pointer or curser feature.
