  • Patent number: 9868202
    Abstract: The spring loaded impact tool is a safety device designed for use with impact tools such as chisels, pry levers, hammers, shovels, scrapers, or tampers. Specifically, the spring loaded impact tool is an enhanced shaft that replaces the traditional shaft that is used as the handle in impact tools. The enhanced shaft further comprises a spring that provides the user greater control over the impact tool compared to the traditional shaft. The spring loaded impact tool comprises an enhanced shaft. The enhanced shaft further comprises an outer shaft, an inner shaft, a compression spring, and a threaded connection.

  • Patent number: 8216019
    Abstract: A game call having variable tonal qualities wherein one or more sound boards have a ferromagnetic material carried in a selected region and wherein a second ferromagnetic material is mounted for selective movement relative to the ferromagnetic material carried on the sound board to vary the tones created on the sound board.

  • Publication number: 20060108445
    Abstract: A sprinkler apparatus 10 for providing more even coverage of a sprinkled area with water which is achieved by a different speed of rotation of a water deflector 13 relative to a water diffuser 12 in a wobbling sprinkler head. A diffuser head 11 is rotatably attached to a base 16 and has a water diffuser 12 for diffusing water passing therethrough. A water deflector 13 is rotatably attached to the rotatable diffuser head 11 for directing water emitting from the nozzle 21 through the water diffuser 12. A viscous fluid brake 15 couples the water deflector 13 to the water diffuser 12 to vary the speed of rotation of the water diffuser 12 relative to the water deflector 13 to obtain a more even coverage of the area being sprinkled.

  • Publication number: 20050087622
    Abstract: A wobbling sprinkler head has a sprinkler head main frame having a nozzle base having a nozzle therein and at least one arm extending therefrom supporting a deflector supporting base. The nozzle base is attached to a water supply and has a water inlet for directing water through the nozzle and against a water deflector head. The water deflector head has a shaft movably riding in the deflector supporting base and has a water deflecting surface attached to one end of the shaft and positioned to deflect water being emitted from the nozzle and a counterweight attached to the other end thereof to dampen vibrations. The water deflecting surface has a predetermined shape to cause rotation of the water deflector head responsive to water being directed thereagainst and has a protrusion extending therefrom to force an initial tilt and wobbling action.

  • Publication number: 20050029364
    Abstract: A wobbling irrigation sprinkler head for attachment to a water conduit has a wobbling sprinkler head facing upward from the water supply conduit. The sprinkler head has a base having an attachment portion for attaching to a water source and a nozzle mounted to the base for directing water therethrough. A wobbling water deflector head is movably attached to the base and has a water deflector pad thereon having a deflector surface of predetermined shape to deflect water being emitted from the nozzle to rotate the wobbling water deflector head. A counterbalancing skirt extends from the water deflecting head around a portion of the base and spaced from the base for rotation with a wobbling water deflector head so that counterbalancing the skirt counterbalances the water deflector head to dampen vibration forces in the deflector head.
