  • Patent number: 7441365
    Abstract: A game attracting apparatus comprises a pole, a flag and an actuator. The pole has a lower end and a top end displaced from the lower end. The flag includes a tip, a mounting location, an outer side and an underside. The flag is configured to resemble the shape and color of a deer's tail when viewed from the underside and is mounted at the mounting location to the pole at a location above the lower end. The actuator is coupled to the flag adjacent the tip of the flag. The flag, pole and actuator are configured to induce the flag to hang from the pole with the tip downward so that the outer side is presented toward a desired direction when the actuator is not actuated and so that, during actuation of the actuator, the tip of the flag moves upwardly so that the underside of the flag is presented toward the desired direction.

  • Patent number: 4745534
    Abstract: A miniature lamp holder comprises a first inner sleeve in which a diode lamp of parallelepiped shape is engaged, this sleeve having two small opposite faces in which are provided resilient tongues connected to the wall of the sleeve at the rear end thereof, that is to say at the end opposite to that through which the lamp engages. The thickness of the tongues increases towards their free ends. Hence, when a second outer sleeve is engaged on the first one, it acts on the tongues to press them against the lamp and thus maintain the lamp in place.

  • Patent number: 4704669
    Abstract: A ring surrounding the clip which secures the body of an LED diode lamp to a bracket is provided with inner longitudinal grooves which reduce the thickness of the wall of the ring and confer thereto an elasticity which is sufficient for permitting its engagement on clips of different diameters. The manufacture of diode lamps does not provide the bodies of these lamps with very precise or consistent diameters, so that relatively important variations of these diameters can occur, which have an influence on the diameter of the clip when engaged on the lamp. Owing to the present arrangement, diode lamp holders can absorb such variations of diameter of the lamps, and still be secured to a panel or other structure by the ring of the invention.
