Abstract: The human powered hydrofoil bicycle includes multiple subsystems integrated together including a structural frame subsystem with associated steering and tiller module, a hydrofoil subsystem to provide vehicle lift, and a powertrain subsystem. The structural frame subsystem may be fitted with buoyancy modules to provide the overall vehicle with a near neutrally buoyant character. The structural frame subsystem also supports a seat for an operator and provides structural support for the steering and tiller module for the hydrofoil subsystem and the drivetrain subsystem. The hydrofoil subsystem includes multiple hydrofoil elements at lowermost portions of the vehicle. These hydrofoil elements generally include in a preferred embodiment a larger rear foil and a smaller front foil. The powertrain subsystem generally includes pedals rotatably supported on the vehicle at a convenient location for engagement and driving by feet of an operator.

Abstract: A clasp is disclosed wherein two housings with fingers are interlocked in a transition fit and then secured by a central lock bar. The clasp is beneficially applied to open space between garment edges whereby the garment is fastened and sized.

Abstract: A waterproof protective case. The waterproof protective case includes a body, wherein the body includes a cavity configured to receive an electronic device. The waterproof protective case also includes a door, wherein the door is configured to more relative to the body from a closed position to an open position. The waterproof protective case further includes a seal, wherein the seal is configured to ensure that the mating between the door and the body is waterproof when the door is in a closed position.

Abstract: An adjustable chair and a tilt assembly for use therewith typically provides side to side tilting of the chair seat and preferably provides forward and backward tilting of the seat separately or in combination with the side to side tilting. A hydraulic system is provided for controlling the tilting movement. Progressive hydraulic valves are used to control the resistance to the tilting movement whereby the chair is useful for exercise while the user is seated and the rate at which the tilting occurs may be controlled. The seat may be locked in any tilted position or the user may shift weight on the seat to provide a continuous shifting of the tilt angle and tilt direction of the seat.

Abstract: An electrically driven, continuous track treadmill having a frame comprising a first section with a second section pivotably connected to a rear end thereof. The treadmill is adjustable between an operational position where the first and second sections are substantially horizontally aligned, and a folded position where the second section is pivoted onto said first section, such that an upper surface of the second section abuts an upper surface of the first section. A handle is pivotally connected to the first section of the frame and extends upwardly away therefrom when the treadmill is in the operational position. The handle pivots into abutting contact with a lower surface of the second section when the treadmill is in the folded position. The treadmill preferably is also provided with an inclination adjustment assembly that is selectively activatable to move the frame between a neutral position, a positively inclined position and a negatively inclined position relative to the floor surface.

Abstract: An elliptical exercise machine having a frame that is adjustable between an operational position and a folded position. The frame includes a base that remains in constant contact with a floor surface when the frame is in both the operational and folded positions. A first mast section extends upwardly and outwardly away from the base. A second mast section is pivotally connected to an upper end of the first mast section. The second mast section is pivoted into vertical alignment with the first mast section when the frame is adjusted into the operational position and is pivoted downwardly toward the base when the frame is adjusted into the folded position. First and second swing arm assemblies are pivotally mounted between the second mast section and a flywheel that is mounted on the base. Handlebars are pivotally mounted on the first and second swing arms. The handlebars are adjustable in orientation so as to reduce the overall dimensions of the elliptical exercise machine when it is to be folded.

Abstract: A golf training device for aiding a golfer in perfecting their grip on a golf club and their swing. The golf training device includes an elongated member made from a flexible plastic material and that is designed to frictionally engage the handle portion of the golf club. The device includes a gripping region with first and second positioning aids thereon for correct placement of the golfer's thumbs. The device further includes a pair of lasers that are mounted in a rest area that integrally formed with the gripping region. The lasers are mounted so as to emit a pair of divergent laser beams outwardly away from the lowermost end of the device and on either side of the golf club head. The lasers are used to correctly align the device on the golf club shaft and as an aid for the golfer to check his grip on the club and the position he assumes for addressing a golf ball.

Abstract: A dispenser for dental floss comprises a closed container having a reel of dental floss disposed therein, and having a generally planar back face, a front face, a pair of opposed side faces, a top face, a bottom face opposed to the top face, and a corner at each intersection of the top and bottom faces with the pair of opposed side faces. A hub is centrally located in the interior of the closed container and extends between the interior surfaces of the front and back faces. The reel of dental floss is mounted for rotation about the hub. There is an opening in the front face at a first corner, through which a strand of dental floss extends so as to be unwound from the reel; and a friction and cutting member is at a second corner of the front face. The friction and cutting member comprises a tongue portion which is angled away from a base portion, and is secured in place at the second corner of the front face.

Abstract: A dispenser for dental floss comprises a closed container having a reel of dental floss disposed therein, and having a generally planar back and front face, a pair of opposed side faces, a bottom face, and a top face opposed to the bottom face. There is a hub centrally located in the interior of the closed container, the reel of dental floss is mounted for rotation about the hub when the dental floss is unwound and removed from the reel. A slot is formed in the top face near a first corner of the container, through which slot a strand of dental floss extends so as to be unwound from the reel. A channel is formed at a second corner of the container, at the intersection of the top face and a second side face, and the channel extends between the top face and the second side face. A friction and cutting member comprises a tongue portion which is angled away from a base portion thereof, and is secured in place within the channel.

Abstract: A multiconductor shielded connector is disclosed in which a flexible, compressible double bushing is used between the connector half shells and the multiconductor cable. The double bushing comprises an outer bushing dimensioned to grasp the outer jacket of the cable at the exiting end of the connector. A concentric, longitudinally offset inner bushing is inserted under the shielding (braid or foil) and mates with ridges on the inner surface of the half shells to form a tight, continuous radiation seal. The inner and outer bushings are connected together with a fine web which maintains concentricity and axial displacement of the bushings before and during assembly, but which does not interfere with the operation of the connector after assembly. The outer bushing may have a sleeve extending outside of the half shells to prevent sharp bends at the connector exit. A single bushing can be used which defines a serpentine cable path when it is desired to use the same half shells with non-shielded cable.
