  • Patent number: 9992972
    Abstract: A pet feeder is provided to redirect pests such as insects and bugs attracted to the scent of exposed pet food, trap the redirected pests, and further prevent untrapped pests from contaminating any exposed pet food. The feeder may comprise a hollow holder configured to suspend a portion of a pet food receptacle in the hollow space. Such holder may comprise a plurality of apertures disposed thereon, and UV lights and attractive scents may be provided to redirect the pests from the pet food by attracting them into the hollow interior of the holder. Then, the pests may be trapped in the hollow interior by way of replaceable traps such as flypaper. Additionally, fans may be disposed on the holder and configured to define a forceful barrier that prevents any untrapped pests from contaminating pet food by the entering a space immediately above the pet feeder.

  • Patent number: 6102168
    Abstract: The present invention is a brake system for wheeled skates, and in particular in line skates. The brake system consists of at least one brake disk, but preferably two sets of interleaving disks. The first set of disks are keyed to a wheel's shaft, and the second set of disks are keyed to the inner hub of the wheel. The first set of disks cannot rotate around the shaft which is fixedly attached to the frame of the skate. The second set of disks rotate with the wheel. Both sets of disks are free to move axially. To brake, a skater shifts his weight onto the outside of his feet, which causes both the first set and second set of disks to move towards the inside of the skate and compress together. The frictional force between the rotating second set of disks and the nonrotating first set of disks causes the second set of disks to decrease in rotational speed.
