Abstract: A mounting board with multiple openings to receive an expanded object in each opening. Each opening includes radial projections to frictionally engage an object with an interference fit. A size gauge is provided to assist in inflating the objects to a proper size to be engaged by the radial projections when an object is inflated and inserted into an opening. A one-way valve can be provided for ease of inflating the object and retaining the object in an inflated condition until it is hit by a projectile.

Abstract: A shooting target device having a target board with multiple openings to receive an inflated balloon in each opening. Each opening includes radial projections to frictionally engage a balloon with an interference fit. A size gauge is provided to assist in inflating the balloons to a proper size to be engaged by the radial projections when a balloon is inflated and inserted into an opening. A one-way valve can be provided for ease of inflating the balloon and retaining the balloon in an inflated condition until it is hit by a projectile and exploded.

Abstract: A bracket for a wine aerator, the bracket being removable connectible to a wine bottle and the aerator swings into position to receive wine from the bottle when the bottle is tilted to a pouring position. The wine is aerated as it passes through the aerator and into a receptacle.

Abstract: An apparatus for loading multiple pipette tips into laboratory storage boxes. The apparatus is principally composed of a dispenser that may be positioned above a box housing a pipette insert-rack. The dispenser is adapted to receive pipette tips from a magazine. The magazine contains multiple stack layers of pipette tips that are arranged one on top of the other. The pipette tips are configured so that each pipette tip can nest its pointed tip through an opening in the collar and inner bore of the pipette tip in the stack layer immediately below. Likewise, each pipette tip may receive the pointed tip of the pipette tip in the stack layer above. In normal operation the tips are transferred from the magazine into the dispenser and then a user may actuate a series of plates in the dispenser to separate the bottom stack layer from the other stacks above it, to allow it to fall downwardly into a storage rack.
