Abstract: A hand cart adapted to lift and transport a single bale of hay or straw is disclosed. The cart is fabricated from metal stock pieces which are welded to form a rigid frame. The frame is designed with spaced apart wheels which will allow the cart to straddle the bale. Plural prong members impale and secure the bale for lifting and transporting.
Abstract: An adjustable grizzly has a series of parallel bars which form a grate. Each bar of the grizzly is adjustable along the width of a frame. Pins on the underside of the bars drop into slots in the frame. The bars are slid into position along the frame and then locked into place by tension wedge locks. Matching spot faces on the bars with buttons on the frame further secure the bars into position and prevent lateral movement of the bars when the grizzly is in use.
Abstract: The present invention involves a rifle rest which is particularly suited for competitive long distance range shooting. The rifle rest has a rifle vise mounted on a vise support resting upon a base which has adjustable legs. In a preferred embodiment, the rifle vise is mounted on a vise support which is a sphere or partial sphere. The convex curvature of the sphere is slidably received by an aperture in a planar base allowing for the movement and rotation of a rifle secured in the vise about a variety of axes.
Abstract: The subject invention pertains to compositions comprising a rubber-like polymer and low boiling point alkanes which can be used to provide a flexible, durable, permanent repair for snags, holes, runs or ladders in hosiery such as pantyhose and nylon stockings. In a preferred embodiment, the rubber-like polymer is a gum-like residue obtained from drying commercial rubber cement adhesive. A composition comprising 2% weight to volume of this residue in an equal volume solvent system of pentane and hexane is applied to the snag and allowed to dry. When the repair is made while the stocking is being worn, a thin, transparent shield can be inserted between the stocking and the skin of the person wearing the stocking. The shield protects the skin from the composition yet does not adhere to the skin or stocking. The shield therefore can be easily removed after the composition is dry or can be left in place between the skin and the hosiery.
