Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an adapter that fits over a wheel barrow handle that is extendable. By way of this extension, the height of a handle portion of the adapter may be changed so as to change the effective height of the wheel barrow handle. In this way, a user of the wheel barrow can lift the wheel barrow from a more comfortable height.
Abstract: This invention relates to mattresses, such as a pressure relieving mattress, comprising a base portion and an upper portion overlying the base portion and having an interface between the portions which has a coefficient of friction low enough such that the portions can slide relative to each other. This configuration enables relative movement of the portions, when the mattress is lying on a profiling bed and the bed is being profiled.

Abstract: A heavy-duty adjustable length butt stock assembly for a firearm such as an AR15 rifle or any other firearm that is made to accept an AR15 butt stock. The stock is designed to be stronger than any existing production AR15 butt stock. The butt stock has three major components, the butt, the receiver extension tube and the clamping gusset The front end of the butt stock has a primary bore hole that extends inwardly from its front end to the rear end of the butt stock. The receiver extension tube is telescopically received in the primary bore hole. An adjustment push button lock extends inwardly from one of the lateral sides of the butt stock and it actuates locking plunger pin that can mate with various longitudinally spaced transversely extending grooves on the bottom surface of the receiver extension tube. Various sling mount structures can be formed on the butt stock or on a clamping gusset that is removably inserted over the receiver extension tube adjacent its front end.
Abstract: A mounting mechanism for an archery bow is disclosed. The mechanism can assist an archer in focusing on a target or prey without having to bear the weight of the bow while doing so.
Abstract: A tray assembly for use in feeding liquid composition to a freezing chamber is disclosed. The tray has a plurality of projections that are designed to provide regulated discharge of the liquid composition from the tray and to feed the liquid composition into the freezing chamber in uniformly sized drops. The projections area each downwardly disposed in relation to the tray. The tray has a bottom wall with a plurality of orifices, where each orifice is associated with a corresponding projection. These projections are uniform in size and can be formed using computerized welding techniques. An alternate embodiment in which the tray is pressurized is also disclosed.
Abstract: Provided is a synergistic combination of nutritional supplements classified as Nutraceuticals and further combined with antioxidant vitamins and minerals that, when orally administered to mammals, provides optimal delivery of vital metabolic precursors necessary for the production and repair of articular cartilage. Specifically provided is, a unique combination of chondroitin sulfate sodium, methylsulfonylmethane, glucosamine potassium, glucosamine hydrochloride, glucosamine sulfate sodium, N-acetyl D-Glucosamine, sodium absorbate and chelated manganese proteinate compounded through agitation. The provided compositions and methods of administration are designed to effectively elevate and sustain blood levels of said compounds in turn enhancing the body's natural chondroprotective mechanisms while providing an efficient delivery mechanism which optimizes cellular uptake of glucosamine and chondroitin.
Abstract: A beater bar assembly for use within a vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The beater bar assembly is capable of both axial oscillation (horizontal motion) and axial rotation, thereby providing an efficient cleaning motion.
Abstract: A novel frozen product and method for making the same are disclosed, wherein a beaded frozen product is intermixed with conventional ice cream. In this regard, the beaded ice cream (or other frozen produce) may be intermixed with soft-serve ice cream on an individual serving basis, or may be intermixed with ice cream manufactured on a large scale production (e.g., packaged with ice cream conventionally sold in grocery stores). With regard to individual servings, beads of ice cream may be injected at a dispensing nozzle of machine for dispensing soft-serve ice cream. Alternatively, the beaded ice cream may be introduced into a reservoir of soft-serve ice cream and intermixed through a stirring or agitation process.
Abstract: A cuckoo clock having a scissored extension arm is disclosed. The clock, using the arm, provides an attractive visual display with minimum displacement and shift of center of gravity.
Abstract: An electrode wire for use in a thermal spray process. The electrode wire is formed with a first layer of a first material formed as tubular outer layer and a second layer of a second material, different from the first material, formed as a tubular inner layer located inside the tubular outer layer. The tubular inner layer includes in an outer surface which is located in substantially uniform contact at an interface with an inner surface of the tubular outer layer. The interface between the inner and outer layers is defined by a mechanical bond between the materials of the inner and outer layers. In a method of performing a thermal spray process the electrode wire is caused to vaporize and spray on a substrate surface to form a bondcoat on the substrate surface.
