Abstract: A clogging tapping device for attachment on the heel and sole of shoes to hammer out a lively rhythm while square dancing is provided including a base plate member with a sharp turned-up periphery edge and a plurality of holes through the base plate which allows nails to be hammered through to fix the plate to the shoe, a rounded tapping plate member generally a toe sole shape or a heel shape with an attachment device of at least two rivets to loosely attach the tapping plate to allow it to cant and move to strike the base plate and a plurality of holes through the tapping plate, one each aligned over the holes in the base plate but in this case, the hole being of a size to allow the head of the nail to be force fitted through each hole, where the rivets are rounded and set in depressions of the tapping plate to avoid scarring the floors.

Abstract: A hydronic room heating device in the form of a baseboard heating panel of air entrained concrete with concrete radiating fins molded on the back of the panel with an upper concrete heating element section positioned to allow air flow past the fins upwardly and out through the opening between the upper element and the panel using low temperature heated water from solar heated systems.

Abstract: A water purification and hot water supply apparatus is provided including a feed water intake providing water in excess of the distilled water output, a heater controlling the quantity of water boiled, a waste water exit port to remove accumulated water above a certain level, a distilled water exit port in the vapor space, a condensing device to transfer the heat of condensation to a hot water tank and a waste water heat exchange device to transfer heat from the waste water to the hot water tank. A volatile organic compound removing tank to heat and vent off the contaminants is positioned to receive heat from the water in the still section of the apparatus which then feeds water to the feed water intake.

Abstract: A vehicle direction control device is provided including three receivers in the vehicle with the center receiver controlling the direction along a primary cable in the roadway with change of direction cable systems taking over control through a side receiver originally parallel with the main line of travel, diverging to a new direction and then picking up a parallel relationship with a new primary line of travel automatically switching back to the center receiver control along the new line of travel.

Abstract: A conduit bending level device to be attached to the front end of a conduit to maintain the vertical plane of the conduit through a series of bends including a spring yoke to slide and hold over the end of the conduit on the top with a slot to allow marking of the position, a level vial held away from the end of the conduit and a pivoting horizontal hinge to allow the vial to be moved upwardly or downwardly in a vertical direction.

Abstract: An accumulator device to be threaded over a closed end of a partially emptied collapsible tube dispenser, such as a toothpaste tube. The device includes a flat body member and at least two slots through the member the slots being positioned parallel to each other wherein the flattened portion of the partially emptied tube is pulled through one slot and against the edge of the slot to push the material in the tube to the openable end and then inserting the closed end through the other slot and pulling up the slack to form a reverse bend trapping the material remaining in the tube.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for supplying, storing and cooking a dinner in a microwave oven including assembling the meal in upside-down fashion in a compartmentalized lid, equipped with vent holes sealed with adhesive tape to prevent escape of the food with a foil covering over the lid to protect the frozen meal during the storage which when the meal is ready to be cooked, the lid is inverted over a reusable microwavable dish with such that the food drops into the dish, the sealing tape is removed from the vents and the unit placed in a microwave oven.

Abstract: A spherical ball applicator is provided to apply lotions to the human body for protection from the rays of the sun which may include an elongated body shape wherein one end of the applicator can be held to apply lotion from the other end to the more inexcessible areas of the body.

Abstract: A fabric handling device and method, particularly useful for light weight, nonwoven web material, including a fast feed roller device in substantial contact with the fabric surface continuously rotating faster than the fabric speed, with a coefficient of friction chosen to provide sliding friction but allow the roller surface to slide over the fabric surface, a positioning device including an air jetting below a horizontal surface element above the fabric, a dual edge cutting tool device that travels and cuts in both directions, and a pair of continuous belts sandwiching the fabric pieces against a table and moving the pieces to a subsequent work station.

Abstract: A plumbing apparatus including a circular spirit level attached to a straight edge body adapted to carry a reference point vertically wherein the level is large enough to span a hole in the floor with marking guides on the periphery to fix lines that pass through a central axis of the level with a rod attached to the level extending through the hole to align with a reference point with a template spanning a second hole to define the reference point.

Abstract: A full size bed is provided convertible to a crib to allow the child full range of movement including a frame with vertical cavities in each member of the frame into which vertical bars are inserted to fix guard rails around the periphery of the bed with a section of the guard rail a separable gate which connects using extensions of vertical bars to the adjacent edges of the guard rail.
