Abstract: A method and a device to aid in recollecting to retrieve an umbrella left in a building including an eye device on the handle of the umbrella with a identification plastic panel attached with a spring clip through the eye. The identification device is unclipped from the umbrella when the umbrella is left behind upon entrance to the building and is immediately clipped onto a key ring on which automobile or residence door keys are clipped. If the umbrella is forgotten, the next use of the key ring will automatically remind the user that the umbrella has been left behind. After the umbrella has been retrieved, the identification device is unclipped from the key ring and reattached to the eye device on the umbrella for the next use.

Abstract: A holder and cementing apparatus for string wound baseball cores includes six vertically downwardly depending tines arranged in a circular pattern to allow the ball to be wedged between the tines with an ejector pin moved upwardly by engagement of the ball and later forced downwardly to eject the ball with the holder supported on a trolley moving along horizontal guides from a first station where the ball is pushed upwardly by a supporting member into the ball holder to a second position inside an enclosure over a coating liquid supply where a cup is raised from below the level of the liquid to immerse the ball in the cup's liquid with movable side panels that open and close to allow the ball to enter the enclosure and to protect from liquid splatter when the ball is rotated at a high rate of speed to remove excess liquid followed by movement out of these openings to a destination station where a ball is sensed to insure proper operation.

Abstract: A total back support cushion device including two or three cushion devices of a semi-cylindrical shape, having been cut lengthwise through a central axis of a cylinder, with Velcro strips positioned to allow the cushions to be fastened together to form a cylindrical shape, a "T" shape for lumbar and thoracic support or cervical and thoracic support or a side lying "H" shape for support of the lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions of the back at the same time, the device being attached to a chair back for support when the person is sitting upright or the individual semi-cylindrical cushions detached and placed under the cervical or lumbar regions of the back while the person is reclining.

Abstract: A plastic snap fit cover for a carbonated beverage can includes an aperture through the cover aligned with the snap tab opening in the top of the can with an integrally molded screen across the aperture of a size to allow free drinking through the cover and yet prevent the intrusion of insects, such as bees, into the can.

Abstract: An exercise machine that allows essentially unlimited number of lifting exercises to be performed that operates like free weights but with the safety of a universal gym including one or more stacks of weights connected through a pulley system extending vertically upwardly to a frame and then downwardly along vertical frame members from point locations to connect to two separate connection points on an exercise grasping device all in a single plane wherein movement of either connection point lifts the weights using an adjustable weight supply device comprising a vertical rod and tube centrally positioned in a vertical hole through the weight stack to allow both the choice of number of weights as well as the height at which the weight is first lifted.

Abstract: A fishing lure is provided including a hollow tubular shape that may be molded in the shape of a fish having a continuous side wall, a rounded closure in front and a closable rear opening, wherein the container is generally transparent or at least sufficiently translucent and lightly colored to allow viewing of live bait inside the container. A plurality of holes, one through the center of the front wall and one through the center of the rear closure with at least a pair of holes along the continuous side wall allows leader line to be trained into the front, out through the side wall, back through the side wall and out through the rear wall for attachment of hooks and various further fish luring devices.

Abstract: A device to lift objects with a single strap including a center panel attached directly to a handle, the panel sliding up and down between a pair of housing panels with alignable slot openings through the two panel members and the center panel, the combined opening being sufficient to receive a free end of the strap with the other end of the strap securely fastened to the opposite side of the device so that when the strap is wrapped around the object to be lifted, and the free end inserted through the combined openings lifting on the handle immediately grabs the strap and releasing of the handle immediately releases the strap.

Abstract: A boat cradle and loading device attached directly to a roof carrier with two laterally positioned parallel horizontal support members the device including two parallel side members aligned along the sides of the vehicle top, to each of which are attached right triangle support boat members which are positioned to form a "V" shaped cradle, one to the front and one to the back for the hull of the boat to rest and the keel of the boat to rest directly on at least one of the horizontal carrier support members with a roller intermediately disposed on the top of one side member positioned such that the keel of the boat may ride on the roller to allow the boat to be pushed onto the top of the cradle device while pushing on the rear of the boat with the keel riding on the roller until the boat center of gravity passes the roller at which time the boat end can be swung around and the boat drops in to the cradle.

Abstract: A bivalve mollusk collecting device resting on two runners with guides to allow upward movement of the collection device with springs to maintain a downward pressure on the collection device as it is dragged through the sand to collect the mollusks. The device has a plurality of acutely angled teeth positioned in a "V" shape pointed rearwardly to form a trough shape with spaces between the teeth sufficient to allow the sand and small sized mollusks to escape to the side and below the trough. Object jumper members extend forwardly at a 45 degree angle below and in front of the teeth to cause the entire collection apparatus to ride over immoveable objects. A grading device rearwardly of the collection apparatus includes horizontal rods again spaced to allow sand and smaller mollusks to escape to the side and below the grading apparatus. An accumulating cage is positioned to the rear of the skid to accumulate the mollusks that are collected.
