Abstract: A windshield visor or visor attachment having a fixed panel and an extendible panel which may be opaque, mirrored, transparent, tinted or photogray. The extendible panel protects the driver against glare or brightness, and against direct effects of the defrost/defog fan. The extendible panel may be positioned by means of rods on the extendible panel cooperating with opposed serrations on the fixed panel, or by means of a detent on the first panel cooperating with cutouts in one edge of the movable panel. Three different methods of attaching this invention to a conventional windshield visor are disclosed.
Abstract: An apparatus for training athletes to improve their ability to concentrate on, track, and handle or catch a ball in motion with at least one central elongated body, a plurality of barrier arms for each elongated body with the barrier arms extending outward from and being arrayed along the central elongated body, and a mounting system for each central elongated body that is attached to and holds each central elongated body upright in substantially vertical position without the use of external supports. Barrier arms are made of flexible material. A method for training athletes and improving their ability to concentrate on, track, and handle or catch a ball in motion is also disclosed.
Abstract: A two-stroke-cycle engine has a pivoted divider oscillating within a fan-shaped combustion volume. The divider is connected to a connecting rod which is connected to an output crankshaft. Seals are used instead of piston rings. Each of the two radial walls has a spark plug and a fuel injection tube located near the outer end. Each planar parallel side wall has an air inlet port near the inner end. An exhaust port is located in the center of the arcuate wall.
Abstract: A device for attaching materials to remote bodies, such as tree limbs or overhead wires is disclosed. The device has an elongated body with a first and second end. A clamping system capable of slidably affixing a fastener and attached material is attached to the elongated body first end. A method for attaching materials to remote bodies also is disclosed.
Abstract: The invention is a ball bag for attachment to the handlebars of a bicycle for carrying sport balls in a convenient and safe manner. The bag is made of fastened webbing with a centerpiece, three cross pieces, two angled end pieces, and four adjustable attachment straps. The relative length of the centerpiece to the end pieces, and the angles in the end pieces and between the end pieces and the attachment straps cooperate to create a tenacious, spherical interior cavity for the sport ball when the adjustable attachment straps are secured to the handlebars of a bicycle and around the sport ball.
Abstract: A new variety of hop plant (H87311-3) originating as the result of a controlled cross pollination between an unpatented John I. Haas, Inc. female hop plant No. 832-17 with an unpatented John I. Haas, Inc. male hop plant No. 833-53M, and unique particularly for its cones' unusually high percentage of alpha acids when compared to its female grandparent variety Galena (unpatented) and otherwise as herein described.
Abstract: A new variety of hop plant (H87207-2) originating as the result of a controlled cross pollination between unpatented Galena female hop plant with unpatented John I. Haas, Inc. (Haas) male hop plant No. 833-53M, and unique particularly for its cones' unusually high percentage of beta acids when compared to its female parent variety Galena (unpatented) and otherwise as herein described.
Abstract: A new variety of hop plant (H87203-1) originating as the result of a controlled corss pollination between unpatented Galena female hop plant with unpatented John I. Haas, Inc. (Haas) male hop plant No. 833-53M, and unique particularly for its cones' unusually high percentage of beta acids when compared to its female parent variety Galena (unpatented) and otherwise as herein described.
