Abstract: The present invention relates to a three-dimensional camouflage garment including a base fabric and fabric pieces attached thereto. The fabric pieces may be attached to the base fabric via substantially horizontal attachment lines. The fabric pieces may include a tab portion for attachment to the base fabric and a depending portion depending from the tab portion. As attached, the fabric pieces may include a non-flat orientation to facilitate the three-dimensional effect. Associated methods of producing a three-dimensional camouflage garment are also provided.

Abstract: A garment assembly includes a garment and a seat. The seat includes a front surface, a rear surface, a first side surface and a second side surface and defines an aperture that extends through the seat from the first side surface to the second side surface. The assembly further includes an at least partially elastic member including a first end section attached to the garment, a second end section attached to the garment, and an intermediate section extending through the seat aperture. At least one of the first end section and the second end section are elastic, and the intermediate section is elastic, such that the seat is deployable between a stowed position and a deployed position and exterior to the garment in the stowed and deployed position. The seat is configured to extend substantially vertical while stowed and substantially horizontal while deployed.

Abstract: A garment (14) with an associated seat (22) is disclosed. The seat (22) is interconnected with the garment (14) using at least one elastic strap or strap section (56). This allows the seat (22) to be moved from a stowed position to a deployed position by stretching at least one strap section (56). Moreover, the manner in which the strap sections (56) are integrated alleviates the need to disconnect the seat (22) from the garment (14) in any manner when moving the seat (22) from its stowed position to a deployed position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to various types of garments to be worn by outdoors people such as hunters and fishermen. The garments include stretch fabric portions in strategic locations to provide mobility as well as comfort and thereby allow the wearer to engage in a wide range of activities. The garments having such stretch fabric portions include pants-type garments, bib overall type garments, and coat-type garments and coverall-type garments.

Abstract: A spinning decoy device for use by hunters to attract birds, such as ducks and geese, has at least one decoy deployed in an elevated position, and a motorized system for spinning the decoy(s) so as to attract the birds. The motorized system, in a preferred embodiment, spins the decoy(s) in a circular motion. To further add realism to the device, the wings of each decoy are rotatable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a camouflage garment which utilizes multiple heights of three dimensional materials in strategic panels or points to provide a user with the full benefit of an all-inclusive three-dimensional camouflage fabric garment while still allowing a user friendly or low hindrance design that allows the user quietness, stealth and the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage device or organizer for use with a cot/bed or some other support structure. The organizer has a main body formed from a flexible material and includes a pouch for storing an elongated article such as a fishing rod and reel or a rifle with a scope. It also includes a variety of pockets for storing personal items, a holder for a container such as a beverage container, an eyeglass holder, a flashlight holder and/or a pen holder. The organizer further includes a shelf. A plurality of straps may be provided for securing the organizer to the frame of a bed/cot or another support structure.

Abstract: An accessory for use with a bed or cot having a frame is described. The accessory has a first upright member joined to a first corner of the frame, a second upright member joined to a second corner of the frame, and a variable length cross member connected to the first and second upright members to form a stable, substantially U-shaped structure therewith. Each of the upright members is also connected to a respective leg member of the bed or cot to provide improved stability for the accessory. Further, each upright member has a plurality of hooks for allowing a user to hang clothes, equipment, and other personal items. The cross member is provided with apertures at its ends for receiving the tip portions of the upright members and for allowing the tip portions to extend above the cross member.

Abstract: A breech plug for a black powder firearm is provided which breech plug has a chamber into which black powder, a black powder equivalent, or Pyrodex pellets is received and a flash channel for transmitting a flame to the chamber. The flash channel includes a linear portion which is at an angle of more than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees with respect to a bottom wall of the chamber. In a preferred embodiment, the linear portion of the flash channel intersects the center of the bottom wall of the black powder chamber. The breech plug further has a threaded bore for receiving a nipple over which a percussion cap to be struck by a trigger actuated hammer is placed. The flash channel also includes a curved portion which extends between the bore and the linear portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an animal figure that has utility as a hunting decoy, a lawn ornament, a crop protection device, a museum display piece, and a theatrical prop. The animal figure has a body portion, a head portion attached to the body portion, feet and legs attached to the body portion, and a support frame attached to the feet. The animal figure has a skin over the head and body portions, which skin has a photograph of the animal printed thereon. The animal figure of the present invention may be easily assembled and disassembled for storage and transport. A method for producing the animal figure is also disclosed.

Abstract: A combined fixed hydrofoil and trolling plate where the trolling plate is moveable releasably to a horizontal position to enhance the hydrofoil effect of the fixed hydrofoil.

Abstract: A casting rod of the pistol grip type has a hollow one-piece molded rod and handle body that is continuous from end to end and preferably with the handle portion uncovered so there is no interruption of transmitted vibrations through said body from the tip of the rod to the hand of the user gripping the handle portion. In making the casting rod the mat material and thermosetting resin are placed on a mandrel in the same molding operation to form the one-piece rod and handle body.

Abstract: The casting rod and handle assembly disclosed has greater sensitivity to a fish striking and on the fish line associated with the rod. The assembly includes a rod blank (45) extending entirely through a handle body (12) and through a hand grip (38), preferably of the offset period grip type. An upper exposed rod portion (51) in the reel seat (15) of the handle body is provided for contacting the reel and a lower exposed rod portion (52) opposite the reel seat is effective to transmit rod vibrations to the hand of a user gripping the hand grip.
