  • Patent number: 5341789
    Abstract: An arrow rest that successfully integrates an arrow holder into its design. The body member has an arrow rest arm and an arrow holder arm. An arrow is placed on the rest and held in position prior to being drawn and released. This is accomplished by pinching the arrow between the arrow holding arm and the arrow rest arm with spring tension. As the arrow is drawn the arrow holder arm is rotated until it can no longer maintain it's holding position. The holder arm is then urged by spring tension to its passive position on an inclined shelf where it will not interfere with the arrow fletching but is readily available for further use.

  • Patent number: 5327673
    Abstract: A magnetic air tight animal trap assembly capable of converting an enclosure into an animal entrapment vehicle. The assembly is disposable or reusable offering optional methods for dealing with the animal. If the enclosure is air tight, as the assembly is, the animal will suffocate. If the enclosure is not sealed the animal will remain entrapped until released. The air tight assembly is composed of a flat, flexible, magnetic material. This material is available in thin sheets and is easily cut to any desired shape. The magnetic door and the magnetic door adapter overlap and provide an air tight seal when closed. The magnetic door is hinged to the magnetic door adapter and is held open by its magnetic attraction to a door support rod. The magnetic door adapter is capable of mounting the magnetic air tight animal trap assembly to any enclosure with an opening sized to the adapter by either magnetic or adhesive means.

  • Patent number: 5220693
    Abstract: A toil seat positioner 34 attachable to the underside of a toilet seat for the purpose of manually positioning the toilet seat in a sanitary manner. The positioner's base structure 30 with shaft 48 facilitates coupling of the grasping portion 34 for rotational or fixed positions. The interchangeability of manufactured grasping portions 34 allow for a plurality of grasping portions. Additionally, any desired object not limited by size or weight can become a changeable grasping portion by employing the grasping portion adapter 60, or become a permanent grasping portion by securing directly to the shaft 48.
