Abstract: A fishing device including a hook mechanism, the hook mechanism including an eyelet, a shank and a barbed hook end; a housing mechanism secured to the hook mechanism, the housing including an upper inner portion, an upper outer portion, a lower portion and an 0-ring, the upper inner portion being threadably securable to the lower portion trapping the o-ring therebetween, the upper inner portion and the lower portion cooperatively defining a cavity and the upper outer portion being snap-fittable about the upper inner portion; and mechanism for lighting disposed in the cavity, the lighting mechanism including first and second leads, a bulb, a cap portion with a contact portion and a power source, the first and second leads directly secured to the bulb, the first lead extending through the cap portion adjacent the contact portion, the second lead extending through and about the cap portion, and the first and second leads providing electrical communication between the power source and the bulb when the upper inne

Abstract: A blower module which is sufficiently quiet to be placed in occupied buildings and not require the construction of a separate blower building; each blower module is a cylinder having conic drip cap on its top, a positive displacement blower, typically, a rotary piston or Roots type blower, and electric or otherwise powered motor to drive the blower, a labyrinth passage outlet silencer, and a labyrinth passage inlet silencer; and the blower module being shaped for sanitation, mechanical containment, noise abatement and stacking one blower on top of another.

Abstract: An improved ball bat for hitting and fielding practice comprising an elongate bat having at least one depressed ball holder disposed on said bat distal the handle thereof for temporarily holding a ball for hitting.

Abstract: An obstruction sensing door reverser attachable to an existing electromechanically operated door opener having existing current carrying stop and open loops; having at least one external obstruction switch disposed in a current carrying loop communicating the presence of the obstruction to the door reverser for stopping movement of the door and further more initiating and holding an open signal on the door operator open loop for predetermined period of time to open the door.

Abstract: A new and improved transfer cart, specifically for the transfer, delivery and retail display of bottled milk or other packaged goods, has a new base and a new bottle retainer guide. The base is formed of a single elongate strip rolled in to a recurved outwardly convex section and folded and welded into a continuous band with inward facing top and bottom flanges and an outward extending bumper; corner posts are welded into the base band, and base beams are formed into the same cross-section of the base band and have swagged ends fitted into and affixed into the base band. The gate guides hold a liftable gate on the rear of the cart, the guides extend contiguously from the second to the top shelf gusset reinforcing the cart, and shelf tabs extend from each guide over the back of each shelf, and each shelf is welded to a pair of respective tabs to strengthen the cart and enable usage of less steel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for washing transfer carts, the method having the steps of placing the cart on an advancement conveyor and advancing the cart into a soak station for soaking with a soak solution; advancing the cart into the wash station where a plurality of nozzle carrying wash arms are extended through an open side of the cart spraying a high pressure washing solution at an angle onto each of the respective shelves of the cart after which the washing nozzles are retracted again passing over the respective cart shelves; advancing the cart into a rinse station, rinsing the cart first with clear water and then with a dilute acid solution; and advancing the cart from the apparatus.

Abstract: A supplemental respiratory device is shown that uses electronic components to regulate the flow of a respirable gas to a user, intermittently, on a demmand basis. The present invention, by monitoring small changes in relative airway pressure, caused by the user's inspiratory or expiratory effort, supplies gas only when an inhalation is detected. The present respiratory device can also vary the duration of the gas delivery time to compensate for changes in user breath rate. The invention herein is designed to be compatible with a standard nasal cannula. An electronic apnea detector is shown, and is included in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the invention herein, when not used for gas delivery purposes, can be used as a diagnostic device for providing information concerning a user's breathing pattern.
