Abstract: A low-friction roller assembly is provided. The low-friction roller assembly is especially suitable for use in a refrigerator for reducing noise and reducing wobble and vibration. The low-friction roller assembly has a rotating element encased within a fluid and secured within a housing. An axle attached to the rotating element extends outside of the housing and is connected to a wheel via a keyed interlocking component. The wheel is attached to mount assembly in, for example, a refrigerator, which is attached to a movable drawer.

Abstract: An anchor for accepting a screw and a method of using the same is provided. In an embodiment, the anchor has a generally cylindrical hollow shaft secured to a generally concave circular spring-tensioned base unit. From the underside of the generally concave circular spring-tensioned base unit, the generally cylindrical hollow shaft receives a screw (applied from the opposing side of a wall or panel). The generally concave circular spring-tensioned base unit may be secured to the wall or panel in a predominately flush manner (along the rim) and may be used to prevent insulating foam from dislodging the anchor, which must remain in place during the foam process. In an embodiment, the device does not utilize adhesives or tape.

Abstract: A gun/rifle sight for tracking a moving object is provided. The gun sight may have a generally elongated frame secured at a distal end of a barrel of a gun in a perpendicular manner with respect to the barrel. In a first embodiment, the gun sight has plurality of pegs which independently and selectively move from a downward orientation to an upward orientation so as to allow a user to gauge the lead time for firing the gun at the moving object. In a second embodiment, a plurality of stationary pegs is secured in a staggered manner around a rotating cylindrical cover. When the cylindrical cover is rotated around the elongated stationary frame, only a single stationary peg may be moved to an upward orientation at a given time.
Abstract: A shock absorber spring is provided. The shock absorber spring is constructed as a single unit having an internal shaft which passes back through the coils of the spring. A first end of the internal shaft is secured to a stationary object (such as the top of a washing machine) while the second end of the internal shaft is surrounded by the spring and hangs down in a generally vertical orientation. The second end of the shock absorber spring is then secured or hung to the heavy, moving object and allows the heavy, moving object to move in a restricted, desired manner by dampening and absorbing the vibrations of the object. The shock absorber spring has an internal travel limiter which may make contact with an extended bump located at the bottom of the internal shaft wherein the internal travel limiter contacts the extended bump and prevents the shock absorber spring from over compressing.
