Patent number: 7448989Abstract: An exercise device for strengthening and enlargement of the penis includes flexible members, such as straps or pads, adapted to fit around an erect penis and spaced along the length of the penis. An elongated member is attached at one end to each of the straps or pads and extend downward therefrom. The other end of the elongated members are each attached to an opposite end of a spring member. The opposite end portions of the spring member comprise lever arms. A weight member is attachable to the spring member at a location approximately equidistant between the ends of the spring member. Each attachment joint of the elongated members, the spring member and the weight allows for relative pivoting, rotation or bending at each of the joints.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2006Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Inventor: Alfred Dana, III

Patent number: 6218948Abstract: The invention is an oil-water detection device for monitoring the presence of water in a container. The device consists of a probe having two thin strips of sheeting within a fiberglass circuit board for sensing the presence of water in a container and generating a signal dependent on the presence of water, a divide counter and Stamp II micro-processor and an accessory communications link connected to the micro-processor. A power supply is also provided. The detection device can differentiate between oil and water and will not be activated merely by the presence of oil on the water.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1999Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Inventor: Alfred Dana

Patent number: 4158922Abstract: A lighted shoe having a solid state oscillator circuit for causing periodic flashing on and off of a light associated with the shoe. A tilt switch may also be associated with the light or lights, and a three-position manual switch provided having one position wherein the light flashes periodically on and off, another position wherein the light is off, and yet another position wherein the tilt switch is inserted in the circuit with the light. The sole and heel may be formed of an integral piece of transparent rigid material, and an e.m.f. source, the circuit, the switch, and the light mounted on and in the integral piece. An AC adaptor is provided having two recharging plugs so that both shoes can be recharged at one time.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1978Date of Patent: June 26, 1979Assignee: Disco Enterprises, Inc.Inventor: Alfred Dana, III

Patent number: 3946505Abstract: A shoe and a detachable transparent heel therefor. A beveled portion on the bottom back of a shoe upper cooperates with a rim portion having beveled edges formed on the top of a transparent heel. A latching means on the shoe upper selectively allows or prevents movement of the heel -- when assembled with the shoe upper -- away from the shoe sole. A light bulb and associated electrical components mounted on a printed circuit board are readily insertable into a cavity formed in the heel and communicating with the top and front portions thereof. Bores for receipt of an e.m.f. source or sources may also be provided in the heel.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1974Date of Patent: March 30, 1976Inventor: Alfred Dana, III
