  • Publication number: 20200300268
    Abstract: Systems and methods for flying sheet materials including a conduit, at least one airflow diverter and an outlet, and a fan positioned relative to the conduit for moving high velocity air through the conduit and out the at least one airflow diverter. In example embodiments, at least one sheet material is connected to a portion of the conduit and nearby the outlet such that the high velocity air provides a force against the sheet material causing the same to unfurl and fly as if an outdoor wind was present. In some example embodiments, two or more sheet materials can be unfurled or fly at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20130283666
    Abstract: A fishing accessory for capturing a fishing bait anchored to a fishing line. The fishing accessory comprises a bottom end having a curved surface configured to seat against a fishing rod, and a top end coupled to the bottom end defining a cavity, the cavity having a first open end proximal the back end configured to receive an anchored bait and a second open end proximal the front end configured to support and capture the anchored bait while allowing the anchored portion to extend therethrough. A channel, extending from at least one surface external of the cavity to at least one surface defined by the cavity, extends from the first open end to the second open end and allows for the anchored portion to pass therethrough when mounting and uncoupling the anchored wire bait at the second open end of the cavity.
