  • Publication number: 20100050496
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fishing rod with ergonomic handle. The disclosed fishing rod places the angler's wrist in a more ergonomically correct position while waiting for a fish to strike. To accomplish this the fishing rod includes a flexible rod including a plurality of ferrules extending downward; a handle including a primary handle substantially parallel to and vertically above the flexible rod and a secondary handle extending upwards from the primary handle. The primary handle also includes a reel seat for downward attachment of a fishing reel. A transition structure is joined at one end to the flexible rod and at the opposing end to the upper portion of the secondary handle.

  • Publication number: 20080184739
    Abstract: The present invention includes gemstone settings and methods of manufacturing gemstone settings including a primary gem capable of displaying a plurality of images corresponding to one or more objects placed within in a focal region outside of the primary gem. The plurality of images is displayed by flattening the bottom of the primary gem and faceting the crown to specifications that allow light to pass through the gem and not substantially reflect against a faceted pavilion.

  • Patent number: 7067189
    Abstract: An adhesion promoter comprises a polymeric strand with an epoxy-reactive group other than a phenolic hydroxyl group, and a crosslinking group that crosslinks the polymeric strand with a rubber in a crosslinking reaction, wherein the polymeric strand is water soluble in an amount of at least 10 g/l, and more preferably at least 100 g/l. Particularly contemplated adhesion promoters may further comprise styrene-butadiene-vinylpyridine copolymer, and may advantageously be employed as a replacement for resorcinol-formaldehyde latex in the fabrication of a rubber containing tire. Especially contemplated rubber compositions may additionally comprise maleinized polybutadiene to synergistically improve adhesion of the rubber to a polymeric fiber coupled via contemplated adhesion promoters.

  • Publication number: 20040250570
    Abstract: A jewelry head constructed in part from a gem. In one configuration the gem may slideably engage a body having at one end a crown able to mount a jewel and at the opposing end an affixing structure functioning to affix the gem to the body. In alternative configurations the gem may have a mounting structure able to mount a jewel. In still-other configurations the gem may have a bore able to accept a jewelry prong.

  • Patent number: 5130200
    Abstract: Poly(vinyl chloride) plastisol compositions modified with epoxy and acid anhydrides can be painted wet-on-wet with acid catalyzed, high solids enamel paints, followed by curing at 120.degree. C. or lower, to give strongly adherent products on electrodeposition coatings and dry, tack-free painted surface. The compositions are also stabilized by the addition of an imide, which provides storage stability at 40.degree. C. for more than three days.
