Abstract: The invention comprises a device for attracting and collecting flying insects. The device has an elongated clear plastic sleeve with a plurality of spaced passageways into the sleeve circumferentially around the sleeve to allow flying insects to travel therethrough into the interior of the sleeve. A fluorescent light is mounted centrally within the sleeve which can be illuminated to attract the flying insects toward the sleeve with the passageways in the sleeve allowing them to enter into the sleeve. A cone is mounted at the bottom of the sleeve having an enlarged upper end and a reduced lower end with downward converging tapered sides.

Abstract: A perch tube is orthogonally mounted relative to a mounting plate in an orthogonal relationship, wherein the perch tube includes a grease reservoir directed therethrough. The reservoir is in fluid communication with an exterior surface of the perch tube employing a plurality of rows of outlet ports, wherein each row is displaced at an acute included angle relative to a vertical plane directed through the perch tube. The grease is directed through the outlet ports and directed onto a bird's feet repelling the bird and discouraging further alighting onto the associated perch tube and perch tube area.

Abstract: An artificial fishing bait holder is provided and consists of a container with various compartments and a hingeable lid which is pivotly and removably connected to a mounting bracket. The container includes a carry handle so that it can be transported to other locations when removed from the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A crab trap (10) is provided having a frame including a multi-sided bottom frame portion (12), a larger, equal-sided top frame portion (14) spaced thereabove, and generally diagonal frame members (16) connecting the top and bottom frame portions. A door opening (36) is provided adjacent at least one side of the bottom frame portion (12). Barrier walls are secured to the frame to define an enclosure which is normally closed. The barrier walls include a bottom barrier wall (24) and an inwardly opening flap door (38) which normally closes the door opening (36). The flap door has a top (40) which is connected to the trap (10) and a lower edge (42) which is normally continuous with the bottom barrier (24). The flap door (38) is resiliently bendable inwardly so that a crap (44) seeking to enter the trap (10) can lift the flap door (38) and crawl into the trap (10) below the flap door (38) and onto the bottom barrier wall (24).

Abstract: An ergonomically efficient knife and implement handle fits the natural curve of the clasped hand and efficiently aids repetitive cutting motions. The handle comprises a major longitudinal rib arcuately extending between spaced-apart integral anterior and posterior ends. The handle is tightly grasped by the curled fingers and palm of the user's hand. An arch integrally extends along and across the rib between the anterior and posterior ends to define an orifice which receives the user's thumb and a portion of the user's palm, and it facilitates comfortable twisting movements of the handle. An anterior hook shaped to coincide with the natural curve of the dorsal surface of the index finger aids in thrusting during repetitive cutting movements. A thumb rest defined at the top of the anterior end of the rib fits the distal phalanx of the thumb. The thumb rest transfers the force of the thumb to the implement.

Abstract: An easel hinge made of a sheet of material having an outer portion with two leg sections joined by a hinge support section. A central portion of the sheet is disposed between the leg sections and interconnected with the hinge support section by bendable hinge elements. Two straddle elements are provided, with each straddle element being spaced from the hinge support section and interconnecting a corresponding leg section with the central portion of the sheet. The sheet includes mounting holes for securing the outer portion of the sheet to one panel of an easel, and the central portion of the sheet to the other panel of the easel, so that the straddle elements limit the angular movement of the easel panels relative to each other.
