  • Patent number: 5308051
    Abstract: A device for folding sheets of paper for placement in envelopes. The device has a center planar member and two side planar members connected with hinges so that the two side members can be rotated over the center member. A laminar member with beveled edges and coextensive with the center member is attached to the center member in such a way that a sheet of paper can be inserted between them so that it extends in part beyond the center member to each side members. The user rotates each side member in turn over the center member, thereby enabling the laminar member to crease the paper. Indicator lines on one of the side members allows the alignment of the paper with respect to the laminar member so that creases are made in desired locations.

  • Patent number: 4239172
    Abstract: A marine craft outboard engine mount includes sideplate brackets which are wider at the top than at the bottom to permit "tucking" of the propeller under the transom. This provides a greater power-on thrust, giving a marine craft operator forward motion with a greater lift factor. Forward motion and the lift factor working simultaneously prevent the boat from "bogging down." With the engine mount, the engine sits in a higher position, and further behind the transom, which leads to increased performance.
