Abstract: This invention provides a body mounted exercise device primarily for use in exercising the muscles of the buttocks, but preferably adaptable to also exercise the thighs and arms. The device preferably comprises two hinge plates which are each secured outwardly and to one side of a respective hip joint of a human user, each of the hinge plates provided with a pivot arm pivotable about the hinge plate. For exercise of the muscles of the buttocks, the pivot arms extend downwardly along the legs of the user, preferably engaging the backs of the legs between the hip joints and knees. The exercise device is provided with biasing means which exert a forwardly directed biasing force on the backs of the legs, the biasing force opposing rearward pivoting of the legs about the hip joints. During rearward pivoting of the legs, the muscles of the buttocks contract and are forced to overcome the biasing force exerted by the pivot arms on the legs of the user.

Abstract: This invention to a case for storing and dispensing sockets from matching grooves. A desired socket can be visually selected through at least one of transparent end pieces which close opposite ends of the grooves. The desired socket can be dispensed by positioning a belt which wraps around the grooves to retain the socket therein, to bring an aperture opposite the groove matching the desired socket.

Abstract: An air circulator for an oven is described formed of a self-contained housing sized to be placed at a convenient location inside the oven with food being heated. The housing encloses a spring motor and a propeller connected to the motor through a reduction gear train. An air flow is produced from a housing outlet adjacent the propeller and may be directed in a desired direction by a rotatably adjustable air flow deflector on the housing and at the outlet.
