Abstract: A money clip, made from clear extruded plastic, which is adapted to hold not only currency but has a compartment to hold a document such as a driver's license or credit card and may also have a pouch affixed to one of its sides to hold a spare emergency key such as a car door or house key.

Abstract: A pneumatic braking system for a tractor and trailer which delivers air to the trailer substantially first and in a greater amount than to the tractor but which continues to deliver to the tractor until the pressure at the tractor approaches the pressure at the trailer. This gives better control and substantially avoids jack-knifing. A valve is also provided to lessen the time factor of air to the tractor when a greater braking pressure is applied. Also when "bob-tailing" only substantially 50% of air is delivered to the tractor to prevent over-braking.

Abstract: A pressure-activated diaphragm valve which when installed in the main up-stream side of a pressurized line, responds to signals from a control unit to shut off the main supply line and at the same time, opens a drain port on the down-stream side of the valve. When used as a freeze protection system, the main water line is shut off and the drain port opened before the freeze point, thereby, eliminating water damage from frozen, broken pipes. The valve also is self-cleaning and has a magnetic plug to remove and keep metallic particles out of the control chamber and the control unit has automatic and manual modes.

Abstract: A slide hammer tool adapted to be used with attachments to engage various standard wrenches such as braking bars, open end wrenches, box wrenches, etc., and cooperates with a socket set to loosen or tighten "frozen" bolts and nuts.

Abstract: A method for the extraction of metals such as copper from ore of the same which involves re-cycling of the barren solution back to the leach pad from the various steps in the process which results in an environmentally clean leach pad with usable gravel for other uses and a high percentage yield of copper percipitate.

Abstract: An attachable, swivel seat for an inflatable boat that sets firmly and freely on the main frame of the motor mount, the seat having adjustable cross members to fit its own motor mount or most other types of motor mounts. This attachable seat also has an adjustable brace from the cross member to the floor of the boat and a platform behind it which can support a battery or the like, and said attachment also provides space where fishing rod holders may be mounted. This attachable seat may be moved forward or backward and places the occupant above the gunwales in a position to comfortably operate the controls of a trolling motor with plenty of leg room and in the event of a tear or serious air leak or the boat capsizes, the seat is a floatation device.

Abstract: A concrete control key-joint and divider form made from plastic which is substantially wedge-shaped with vertically spaced holes to receive plastic stakes with the stakes being secured to the plastic form by plastic bolts at substantially its mid-section, so that the form can be easily set to grade and locked to the stakes, then the plastic stakes and bolts can be cut off to form a smooth screeding surface and an expansion joint. The forms also provide transversely spaced holes through which smooth rods or rebar may be inserted to firmly hold the form in a vertical manner and yet allow the concrete slabs to expand and contract. The plastic material is also designed to expand and contract at substantially the same expansion coefficient as cured concrete, thus minimizing the working of the key-joint.

Abstract: A forcible entry tool is disclosed which enables law enforcement personnel such as SWAT or police or other persons such as firemen to breach a heavily fortified door or the like in a matter of seconds without the use of explosives. A ram like device is taught which is normally operated by two persons which can penetrate through a steel re-enforced door by using a heavy-duty slide hammer with a leg support that is locked to the correct height for support when a pin is pulled. The apparatus also has a hook on one end which may be impaled in the door or hooked to any other object and the door or object removed outwardly.

Abstract: A golf club that is substantially hollow and partially filed with a viscous fluid or other flowable material such as ball-bearings or sand and has multiple compartments to capture the weight in different sections to change the weight of the club at the golf head or handle.

Abstract: A mounting rack for rifles which is substantially rectangular and is mounted across the vehicle, which is adjustable in length as well as height to fit substantially any vehicle. The two upright sides of the rectangle, slide on the two long cross members for further adjustment and the gun cradles have multiple positions. The invention further discloses a dog guard which may be affixed to the back of the gun rack.

Abstract: A brush and tree cutter blade adapted for mounting on a power-driven vehicle, the improvement being a spring loaded tooth mounted on each of three mounting plates with the mounting plates being hinged to the three sides of a triangular mounting plate. This arrangement allows the mounting plates to deflect upward or downward and the tooth to deflect inward when the tooth strikes an object such as a boulder or rock.

Abstract: A portable antenna satellite system which has a dish made of substantially identical segments which fold around a central hub and a handle and horn stem that fold along with a tripod into a compact bundle for transporting and which can be easily and readily opened, stacked to the ground and "aimed" at a satellite.

Abstract: A dumbbell partially filled with a liquid such as water that has a passageway in the gripping portion with a valve to control the rate of flow and when the wrist is twisted, the liquid flows from one end of the dumbbell to the other thus providing an increasing controllable resistance to the wrist and arm muscles. Also the device may be attached to other portions of the body, such as a foot, by hook and loop fastener.

Abstract: A kite apparatus which may be attached to the center spar of a stunt kite which allows the common string of the two yokes to pass through a pulley and when one of the kite control strings is pulled, the common string rides over the pulley causing un-equal lengths of the common string on each side of the pulley, thus changing the attack of the surface of the kite to the wind which provides a new and unusual control resulting in better maneuverability.

Abstract: A bingo caddy useful for transporting and containing bingo player's paraphernalia including a pillow and slanted fold-out multiple playing surfaces with a holding device to hold bingo cards or the like and user friendly placement of marker's etc. The bingo caddy has a unique two section lid or top which folds into a compartmentalized configuration for easy access to all paraphernalia.

Abstract: A light switch extension which enables, children, short people or handicapped people to turn on and off the light switch. The extension also provides interchangeable, adhesive faces which glow in the dark or molded faces. The handle is rotateable 360 degrees so that when the handle is in its highest position the extension is unattainable to the child leaving the desired amount of use to the option of the parent.

Abstract: Rotating filing cabinets consisting of multiple drawers with the drawers being attached to a chain and sprocket arrangement which is power activated with the drawers being able to rotate in a substantially vertical loop enabling the operator to activate the power drive and bring any one of the multiple drawers to a predetermined level, such as eye level.

Abstract: The present invention is a peg type score keeping game board which is two game boards in one and is specifically suited by design to facilitate card games such as the game GIVE-A-WAY and CRIBBAGE.

Abstract: A load carrying apparatus that attaches to the existing square tube trailer hitch or receiver of a vehicle which does not need to be affixed to the towing vehicle by its bumper and which may also have an affixable swivel wheel, loading ramps, and tie downs to tie down a load and which may be used as a tilting or dumping device which may be tilted or dumped to either side or the rear.
