Abstract: Electronic control circuitry for transmitting electrical communication between electrically controlled equipment employing timing or display means at a first location, and at a second and remote location for the continuous exchange of electrical power and control signals betwen equipment at each of the locations and where two single wire connectors provide the sole electrical communication between the said locations.
Abstract: The invention is a structure that is particularly configured to support simultaneously a multitude of fishing lines, and a live bait trap. Attached to each line are several fishing hooks, and all or a portion of the several fishing hooks are specifically designed to secure live fishing bait without doing injurious harm to the live bait, and also all or a portion of the fishing lines may be attached to a tow line equipped with a turning block with multiple hooks, and said turning block features bright, illuminating devices that reflect underwater light in alternating patterns as the turning block rotates freely in a body of water with sufficient current velocity to cause the rotation of the turning block. That particular structure is secured to a landing pier or a boat in a pivotal manner such that the supported multiple lines, fishing hooks and, turning blocks can be conveniently raised from the body of water or lowered into the same body of water.
Abstract: An adjustable louver unit for controlling the quantity and/or direction of the air flow in air systems, such as heaters, air conditioners and the like. This louver unit includes a rotary vane assembly having a central longitudinal shaft. A blade perpendicular and radial to the shaft, and containing circular vanes projecting from the blade and at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the central shaft. This entire rotary vane array, comprising a single member is molded from a continuous unitary material having a central shaft, a radial blade and a plurality of vanes, all having been formed from flexible plastic resin, which provides for ease of assembly, durability, simplicity, and efficiency of operation.

Abstract: A tanning studio having a tanning system, including a main control console for operation only by an attendant and a remote tanning room control for operation by a patron. A module is provide which both displays and sets the time remaining on both the console and the remote control which time is below an identified safe maximum time inherent in the system. The console includes means to only input the initial time remaining for use of the equipment, while the remote unit has means to only actuate said equipment. Both units contain means to clear the remaining time for use of the equipment Z and extinguish the lamps and a down timer for continuously displaying the time remaining.
Abstract: A safety head protector for use in a pickup truck cab or other vehicle with a rear window immediately behind the occupant's head. The protector is made of a foam cushion mounted on a sturdy support and covered by an outer cover. The protector is mounted onto the rear window glass by fasteners which allow vertical position adjustment. The support behind the foam cushion acts to prevent the occupant's head from breaking the rear window glass, which the foam cushion alone would not.
Abstract: This invention provides a means for permitting the deadbolt lock, as used on many residential outside doors, to be quickly and conveniently locked, either from the inside or outside, without requiring the use of a key. This device then requires that the deadbolt lock be opened from the outside by a key in the conventional manner, or from the inside by a conventional finger lever. But to prevent accidental lock out of the resident, this invention further embodies an audible reminder to the user to make sure that the key is in his possession and available for re-entry purposes.
Abstract: An air conditioner evaporator system that is interchangeable with existing automotive systems, and yet has substantial other uses, that employs an expandable liquid/gas media, such as freon, that is injected into a unique staggered coil arrangement, whereby the expanding gas travels through limited predetermined cycles only, before returning to the compressor for condensation and recycling; and wherein the exposed ends of the coils are insulated in a very facile way to preserve the refrigerating capability of the freon gas within the interior of the coils and simultaneously prevent sweating (condensation) on the exterior surface of the coils.
Abstract: A combination universal hobby cabinet system, including a workbench, wherein the cooperative combination includes an organized storage cabinet having one member that is completely removable from the cabinet and then becomes a workbench which may be set on top of the closed cabinet or other flat surface to become a work station, and wherein the interior of the cabinet uniquely provides stowage space for materials and tools and for the workbench, all for use in the practice of particular hobbies, one embodiment of which system encompasses the hobby of fly-tying to create fishing lures.
Abstract: A finger protector for the hand grip area of a reel, primarily of the spinning variety. In ordinary usage, a spinning reel is attached to the underside of a bait casting fishing rod by a coupling sleeve for and aft of the saddle of the reel attachment member, and a locking nut binding the sleeves and saddle together, and holding the reel in place on the underside of the rod. The rod and reel are then used for casting in the usual manner, except that the reel attachment arm, which is usually a hard surface rigid metal T shaped structure, is now contoured and cushioned to provide a more efficient and substantially more comfortable hand grip area.
Abstract: A wall positioning device comprising a mounting set for hanging a display board, or picture, or the like, from a wall or other vertical surface support, wherein the display board or picture is assured to be hung straight and level, and yet may be easily removed or replaced by another board having a matching hanger piece, whereby the second hung picture will a also be straight and level. The technique used in this hanger mounting set involves a projecting tab on the hanger piece a attached to the board or picture, and a receiving notch on the other hanger piece that is attached to the wall, wherein each of the two pieces incorporates a small spirit level that may remain permanently as a part of that piece, or be removed after installation as desired. The matching notch and tab are each located on horizontal members that engage simultaneously with said notch and tab, and prevent any angularity in their engagement, once the tab engages the notch.
Abstract: A special fishing hook and bait system, wherein one or more barbed hooks are incorporated on a shank, and wherein the preferred embodiment employs on the shank spaced from the hook barb a removably mounted prepared fish food package forming the bait, that is made in the form of a tube having therein separate bait compartments which are used sequentially as needed by a fisherman, by puncturing the package end nearest the hook barb.
Abstract: A display board for displaying a menu of daily fare for restaurants, post exchanges, and the like, wherein the items listed for sale are printed on a long thin flexible plastic strip located in tracks that extend substantially the full width of the display board. The prices for the items listed are printed on a much shorter plastic strip which may be changed instantly and independently of the item strip. Both strips include a smaller width strip of iron ink on their back side, so that both strips are held in place by the same flexible magnetic source strip that is imbedded in the display board in parallel fashion to the display board tracks wherein the plastic strips reside. A clear plastic cover is locked in place over the finished menu to retain the displayed menu and prices until a change in fare is desired, at which time this cover is instantly removable.
