Abstract: A creep feeder furnishes a blow molded container with an inner chamber, a top port and a bottom port. The top port provides passage for feed into the inner chamber and is closed by a snap fit cap. The bottom part provides a throat, narrowing valve seat and narrower delivery tube. A blow molded, hollow valve is enclosed in the bottom part and operates with the valve seat to dispense feed upon demand of an animal. The valve has a bulbous head with a gradually narrowing under surface that engages with the valve seat to close the bottom port. A narrower valve stem hangs in the delivery tube, and the delivery tube keeps the valve substantially aligned in the bottom port to insure proper sealing between the head and valve seat. The device dispenses feed upon an animal pushing up the bottom end of the stem and spacing the head from the seat. Feed in the chamber then flows down through the bottom port.

Abstract: A portable habitat and harvesting apparatus for marine life such as stone crab, crayfish, lobster and the like deployable on the water bottom and comprising a length of flexible cord connectable at each end to a separate end weight. A plurality of hollow containers are also included, each having an opening and connectable to and along the length of the cord. The invention is deployable on the water bottom in large quantities from a small boat, facilitated by the simplicity and compactness of its components which are easily assemblable during deployment. The invention may also include one or more midweights each positioned between adjacent containers along the cord to assist in maintaining the containers against the water bottom and in an orientation wherein the container interior is generally horizontally disposed in relation to its opening.

Abstract: A lead line for a large animal comprises a length of rope made up of a tubular sheath of a woven fabric with an inner core of a soft fibrous material. At the outer end of the rope the soft inner core has been removed and replaced by a rigid rod so that the head of the animal can be pushed and held at arm's length.
