  • Patent number: 6729084
    Abstract: Disclosed is a kit for building a wall. It includes a first log having a substantially cylindrical surface and at least one axially-extending groove formed in the substantially cylindrical surface, a second long and an elongated chink. The first log, the elongated chink, and the second log are collectively adapted for mutual contact such that both the first log and an axially-extending protruding surface of the first elongated chink abut the second log to form a first chamber bounded in part by the first log, the first elongated chink, and the second log.

  • Patent number: 6305534
    Abstract: The present invention is a quiver having: a housing having a top end an a bottom end and an opening between the top and bottom ends for the insertion and removal of arrows and a carousel mounted inside the quiver for the positioning and delivery of arrows. The carousel of the quiver of the present invention has a rotatable shaft in the center of the housing, at least one means attached to the rotatable shaft for gripping arrows, a shaft mount associated with the top half the housing for mounting the shaft, and at least one spring for biasing the rotatable shaft, with the spring being associated at one end with the housing and at the opposite end with the rotatable shaft. In use the carousel is positioned and arranged to automatically bring arrows to a position adjacent the opening between the top and bottom ends of the housing for removal from the quiver.
