Abstract: A soft bait fish lure having an elongated body composed of two parts of which the head part is composed of a hard material while the rearmost part representing the tail of the lure is composed of a soft and flexible material. The two parts are joined together by an adhesive so as to provide an integral lure. The rearmost tail part includes cutouts on each side to reduce the thickness so that an integral hinge is formed permitting the tail fin to flex and move simulating swimming motion as the lure is drawn through the water. Flexible legs or claws are integrally formed with the hard part. The midsection of the lure includes an attachment for a fishing line and a hook with a weed guard is included. Guide means are included for aligning the head part with the tail part during attachment. Sound attraction is produced by a rattle device installed in the head part complementing the over-all lure ability. A weight is strategically placed in the head part to stabilize the lure.

Abstract: A programmable system employs a driver computer control programmed via a personal computer having a keyboard input. The controller sends programmed signals via the keyboard input to a three-dimensional coordinator circuit which generates X, Y and Z drive signals representing left, right and height positions of a scribe which is in alignment with the surface of a workpiece. Positioned between the three-dimensional coordinate circuit and the scribe is an electronic-to-mechanical conversion means in the form of a machine piston which converts the electrical X, Y and Z programmed instructions to a servo and trigger network interfaced with the scribe. An angle position driver directly couples, in parallel, the driver computer control and the three-dimensional coordinating circuit with the servo and trigger network. By programming the instructions into the system, the scribe can follow or coordinate with the workpiece surface whether it is flat, curved or irregular.

Abstract: A shield taking the form of a funnel-like member having a circular peripheral edge defining an enlarged entrance leading into the interior of the funnel to terminate in an elongated attachment portion at its opposite end. The circular edge defining the entrance into the funnel includes a linear edge for prevention of rolling on a flat surface. The attachment portion includes an inner tapered passageway intended to slidably receive and retain a sleeve protector or cover used to enclose a needle to a syringe or hypodermic device. The syringe body holding the needle is intended to reside within the major interior length of the funnel-like member while the needle resides in the protector or cover so that the entire assembled unit can be discarded.

Abstract: A bore centering apparatus includes an elongated level having a laser beam generator at one end insertably received into the center of a centering cone placed within a hole in a wall. Adjustment of the level is made by turnbuckles which adjustably connect the level to the front face of the wall into which the centering cone is placed. The laser beam generator transmits a beam through the centering cone along its central longitudinal axis and therefore is coincident with the central longitudinal axis of the hole so that the beam terminates at a remote or spaced-apart intended target. Offset lines in degrees are carried on the external surface of the centering cone so that layout directions can be derived quickly. A protractor plate may be incorporated into the assembly at the base of the centering cone to set the desired degree of offset. By combining a 45 degree or 30 degree offset mark on the bore cone, the bore assembly is tilted accordingly to show compound angle layouts or directions of mechanical runs.

Abstract: A liquid chemical spray, such as cellulose acetate or thermoplastic material, is discharged, under pressure, from an applicator wherein the liquid chemical is such that a plurality of elongated fibers or filaments are discharged to form an airborne netting of open mesh having a characteristic of light weight so as to float by gravitational force over a large area of vegetation. The formed netting cures in open air as it floats or settles on top of the foliage intended to be protected. The composition being discharged includes a low contact adhesive agent or substance which permits a clinging contact with the leaves of the foliage as the netting settles over the vegetation canopy. The fiber or filaments discharged from the applicator form a long continuous thread-like filament or an array of threads that impede the ingress of birds, insects, or the like.

Abstract: A temperature detector provides a base for supporting a stand which includes a cradle having an elongated open channel for supporting a heated curling iron. The cradle is resiliently carried on a post so that the cradle can move up and down over the terminating end of the post. The terminating end of the post includes a thermocouple which projects into and through an orifice in the cradle when the cradle is in the depressed or down position. Thus, the temperature of a weighted heating iron, for example, residing in the cavity of the cradle can be sensed by the thermocouple. The base includes support for a visual read-out display of the temperature sensed and circuit means interconnects the display with the thermocouple. The thermocouple is protected from damage by the weighted object in the cradle by providing a resilient mount for the thermocouple within the post.

A pouch may be provided on the container for insertably receiving and storing the strap.

Abstract: A lightweight aerosol dispenser enclosing a first component of an explosive nature is filled at a factory. A second component is supplied in a smaller container, separate from the dispenser, containing a predetermined amount of propellant. By providing separate containers for each of the explosive and propellant components, both components retain their classification as a flammable substance for transportation and storage purposes. However, in the field, the propellant is injected into the solution container immediately before use. Only after the two substance components have been mixed can an explosive composition be produced. If, for any reason, the explosive composition comprising a foam is not used, it can be washed away with water or will dissipate itself within a few hours.
