  • Publication number: 20020088166
    Abstract: A jig-type fishing lure includes a lure head having a front portion and a rear portion. The rear portion of the lure head includes a lure head stem protruding therefrom. A substantially rigid interior tube member is provided longitudinally through the lure head from the front portion to the rear portion and through the lure head stem. A substantially flexible exterior tube member having a stem end and a fish hook receiving end is concentrically coupled in part to the lure head stem such that the interior tube member together with the exterior tube member form a passage way for a fishing line therethrough. The fishing line is coupled to an attachment eye portion of the fish hook. The fishing line is then pulled away from the lure such that the eye of the fish hook abuts the lure head stem. The exterior tube member securely holds the eye of the fish hook therewithin.

  • Patent number: 4750544
    Abstract: A method of operating a heat exchanging system seasonally which is mounted in an air duct is disclosed. The system has means for support and movement between a first position where the heat exchanger is generally normal to the air flow in the duct, and a second position where the heat exchanger is generally parallel to the air flow in the duct. During periods of the year when the heat exchanger is not used, it is moved to the second position which is parallel to the flow of air. The static pressure caused by the presence of the apparatus in the duct is then substantially reduced when in this second position and results in reduced power consumption of a fan used to generate the air flow. The fan is automatically controlled by a volume controller with a probe which senses changes in static pressure and air flow rate in the duct. The volume controller adjusts the fan motor speed and inlet guide vanes to save more than 25% of the energy used to operate the fan over a whole year.
