Abstract: A combined eyeglass and cap combination is disclosed herein including a cap or other headgear provided with a crown and forwardly projecting bill or visor from which eyeglasses downwardly depend so as to be immediately in front of the wearer's eyes. A pivot device connects the eyeglass frame with the bill or visor whereby the eyeglasses may be positioned between an operative position in front of the eyes or a storage position adjacent the bill or visor underside. The pivot device includes a frictional detent to maintain the eyeglasses in either one of the two positions and may be of a fixed or detachable connection with the eyeglass frame or the eyeglass itself if composed of a transparent plastic.

Abstract: A device for moistening the adhesive of a sheet material such as the flap of an envelope or a postage stamp, is disclosed having a container with hinged lid. A moistened sponge is stored in the container having raised a step adjacent to the latch closure of the lid with the front wall of the container and is provided with a deep recess adjacent to the hinge connection of the lid with the container. A slider is movably carried on the lid and includes a pressure plate adapted to press against the top surface of the inserted sheet material forcibly urging the adhesive surface onto the moistened sponge step. The slider has two positions, one position with the pressure plate projecting into the recess when the lid is closed and the other position when advanced to be adjacent the step. A limit stop is carried on the container beneath the sponge step for limiting pivotal movement of the lid to prevent latching of the lid when the slider is in its advanced position.

Abstract: An animal collar having an elongated, flexible strap with opposite ends mounting detachable fasteners such as prongs, buckles or the like. Adjacent to each end of the strap, there is provided an open-ended pocket. A pest or insect repellent strip is removably carried on the inside of the collar whereby the opposite ends of the strip are insertably received through the opening into the interior of each pocket respectively. Retainer loops are carried on the strap between the pockets maintaining the repellent strip in position on the strap. Leash rings are operably carried on the strap to accommodate a walking leash.

Abstract: A golf club is disclosed herein having aerodynamic characteristics reducing drag resistance to maintain maximum head speed which includes a head having a front face with a top surface and an undersurface rearwardly sloping together to define a tapered back face. The sides of the head slope in convergence from the top surface to the undersurface. A pair of open-ended arcuate passageways are provided in the head substantially in parallel with a round opening at the front face and terminating in an oval exit at the back face. The radius of the arcuate passageways lies on the radius of the golfer's swing and a pointer is located on the top surface adjacent the front face to indicate alignment with sweet spot location on the front face. The undersurface includes a pair of ridges defining a central groove and opposite side grooves with terminations at the oval exits of the passageways.

Abstract: A pacifier for an infant is disclosed herein having an elongated shield member supporting a non-luminous nipple formed thereon or wedged against and which projects outwardly from one side thereof. The opposite or reverse side includes a continuous sidewall defining an internal cavity and which is closed by a cap. The cap carries a sheet of luminescent material within the cavity adhesively secured to the cap, a recessed illuminescent graphic representation or a luminescent movable article such as a ball. The luminescent material or substance is separated from and blocked from engaging or contacting the mouth of the infant.

Abstract: A device for performing levelling and transit functions is disclosed herein having an elongated member with parallel spaced-apart top and bottom flat surfaces separated by a thickened web. The web includes several cutouts exposing bubble indicators arranged in a variety of orientations and includes a rotary module at one end movably mounting a laser beam generator. The module has a passageway conducting a laser beam to a selected one of several slots or passageways provided in the end of the member in response to manual rotation of the module by the user whereby the beam exits the device in a linear path. The web includes a housing adjacent to the module enclosing electrical circuits, battery power supply and button controls for operation of the laser. A pivoting panel is coextensive with the top flat surface in a stored position while pivotal to a position normal to the top flat surface when used as a corner square.

Abstract: A cradle support handler is disclosed herein interfacing between a conventional telescoping lifting device and an automotive component which includes a box-like construction or support having a central opening and outwardly extending arms terminating with support pads and location point registration or indexing pins. The arms are pivotal carried on the box-like support and the pads provide at least three or four point support of the automotive component. The extendable arms provide a wide area of applied load distribution and adaptors may be disposed on the box-like support for accommodating straps, hold-down devices and transmission plates.

Abstract: A dental impression tray is disclosed herein having a pair of spaced-apart arcuate walls having a common radial center and wherein the opposing wall surfaces define a work area for holding a quantity of dental impression material. A thin plastic embedded fibrous membrane or sheet or a non-woven fabric material extends across the work area having its opposite edges attached to the walls and separating the walls into upper and lower wall sections. One end of the walls may or may not support a wire element while the opposite walls' ends are open. The opposing wall surfaces carry a plurality of alternate vertical grooves and rod-like projections disposed in parallel and split horizontally by the fibrous membrane. The root of each projection includes a recessed portion in order to engage with the impression material and a handle attached to an outer wall of the pair outwardly extends anteriorly therefrom. A tongue retractor structure may be integrated on an inner wall of the pair.

Abstract: A cushion is disclosed herein for supporting a pregnant woman in a face-down position for resting and preparatory to and during a massaging procedure. The cushion is composed of a soft, foam-like material having a central recess or cavity defined in a surrounding continuous ridge to provide an integral unitary construction. The ridge includes sidewalls joined at a front end by a neck and chin transverse end wall and joined as a rear end by a leg and knee support. Sloping wall sections join the sidewalls with the leg and knee support whereby a flat planar surface of the leg and knee support resides below the top surface of the sidewalls. Internal sloping walls connect the front and rear ends with the bottom of the recess or cavity. A cushioned insert is carried within the recess that is reversible and having opposite textured or contoured sides. A cover, a handle and a carrying strap complete the construction.

Abstract: A drive mechanism for a cycle vehicle is disclosed herein for selectively importing a driving force from a pedal operated front gear drive section to a rear gear driven section via a variable transmission. The drive section and the driven section include a plurality of concentric circular rows of gear teeth selectively engageable by front and rear intermediate gears positionable on linear guide rods by a variable combination of manually settable transmission gears. The drive and driven section gears constitute shift gears adapted to achieve gear speed change and provide a driving force to the rear wheel via rotating shafts.

Abstract: A security rack arm is disclosed herein having an elongated channel base provided with a plurality of open vertical slots in fixed spaced-apart relationship. A slide bar is movably disposed on the base and is provided with a plurality of apertures with upper and lower lugs extending towards one another from opposite sides of each aperture to define a lower locked storage cavity and an upper release or unlocked cavity. A lock latch mechanism carried on the slide bar cooperates with the base to selectively align the release cavity with the open vertical slot to permit passage of a garment hook normally disposed in the storage cavity through the aperture into the open vertical slot for separation from the rack. An expansion spring carried between the base and the slide bar normally biases the upper and lower lugs to close the open vertical slot depending upon the lock latch mechanism.
