Abstract: A safety shield is provided that protects persons from hot fluids used with cooking pots used for deep frying over an open flame. The safety shield construction includes an adjustable band that attaches to the outside of a cooking pot, and having an outwardly protruding surface to re-direct spilled hot fluids away from a human user standing near the cooking pot. The safety shield provides a safety zone that deflects any spilled hot fluids away from the human user. The safety shield has an overall inverted V-shape, and as an alternative embodiment can have additional somewhat vertical barriers that help to prevent any spilled cooking oil from touching the human user.

Abstract: A bird feeder that mounts to tension rods that run horizontally just outside the window, in which the bird feeder has a pivotable lid that can be opened from inside the building to allow the user to add bird seed into the seed-holding tray portion of the main body of the feeder. The tension rods can be mounted to the sides of the window framework, or other structure that is proximal to the window framework, also with the user remaining inside the building structure, thereby allowing the user to do everything from inside the building. The pivotable lid has a pivot point that is closer to the “front” of the feeder, which is where the bird perch is located, and which is the distal portion of the feeder, with respect to the window or building where the feeder is mounted.
