Abstract: A collapsible bait fish trap for catching live bait fish in a body of water. The fish trap has an elongated hollow fish enclosure formed from two connected generally conical shaped portions. Each generally conical shaped portion has a connectable inner portion and an outer end portion having an inward extending funnel member portion with a funnel aperture for permitting the passage of bait fish for funneling or channeling bait fish into the interior of the elongated hollow fish enclosure. The outer end portions of the conical shaped portions have a series of apertures for allowing water to pass into the interior of the elongated hollow fish enclosure. The generally conical shaped portions can be disconnected and nestled together for transportation purposes or for storage purposes.

Abstract: A firearm sight mount with a sight mount body configured for clamping on the outside of a firearm barrel. In one embodiment the sight mount has a unitary sight mount body that is split to permit the body to be slipped past any existing front sight on the firearm barrel. The split construction of the sight mount body permits it to be clamped to firearm barrels having different outside diameters and tapers. The other embodiments use a two piece body that are configured to be clamped to firearm barrels having different outside diameters and tapers and in one of these embodiments provision is made for the sight mount to fit around a rib on the barrel. In all embodiments, the sight mount body has a flat rectangular shaped mounting surface with short cylindrical projections sized and shaped to mesh with corresponding holes in the sight and hold the sight in place. Two screw holes are also provided in the mounting surface for holding the sight to the mounting surface.

Abstract: A fish hook removing device for manually removing fish hooks from the mouths of fish. The fish hook removing device has an elongated hollow insertable portion that has an outer end portion and an inner end portion. An elongated straight handle portion depends downwardly at an angle from the inner end portion of the insertable portion. The insertable portion has a straight slot in its upper surface for receiving a portion of the fish line near the hook when the fish line is held tight. After the fish line has been inserted into the slot, the insertable portion is pushed into the mouth of the fish until it contacts the hook. A thumb is then placed over the fish line where the fish line exits from the insertable portion to keep the line tight between that point and the fish hook. A jab toward the mouth of the fish that pushes the insertable member into the fish mouth followed by a pull away from the mouth of the fish while the thumb is held in place removes the hook from the mouth of the fish.

Abstract: A vehicle window escape device having a cylindrical body portion with a handle at one end and a projecting pointed member at the other end for imparting a smashing blow to a vehicle window to cause the window to shatter. The body portion is hollow and contains a spring force exerting system for providing a blow to the projecting pointed member when the end of the projecting pointed member is pressed against the vehicle window through the use of the handle by an occupant of the vehicle.

Abstract: A firearm sight and mount for use on the muzzle end portion of a firearm barrel. The firearm sight is an optical sight with an artificially illuminated reticle and it and the associated mount are adapted to be rapidly attached to and removed from the muzzle end portion of a firearm barrel without requiring any modification to the firearm barrel. The sight mount has provisions for not marring the finish of the firearm barrel. Both the sight and the mount are made from light weight materials including plastic lenses in the sight and their weights are strictly controlled. The sight and mount increase the ability of the shooter to accurately and rapidly sight the firearm at both moving and stationary targets. A wide variety of reticles can be used such as those that are externally illuminated and self illuminating.

Abstract: The present invention provides simple and effective mechanisms, apparatus and self contained fluid circuitry to hydraulically actuate the vehicle's seat in generally downward movement in response to general upward movement of the vehicle's terrain contacting apparatus in relation to the vehicle's main body mass. The present invention also includes a simple device to remotely adjust and control the response movement of a hydraulic seat actuator. Also included in the invention is a means of controlling the actions of one or more hydraulic double acting piston pumps.
