  • Patent number: 9974392
    Abstract: An Ice Hot Seat provides ice fishermen with both heat and light while fishing at night and includes a hollow cylindrical base in the shape of a bucket with a seat on top. A rectangular opening is near the bottom of the base. A liquid gas lantern is placed within the base and a seat having a specially designed heat tunnel is placed on the top of the base. The base is semi-transparent providing light for the nighttime angler. The heat tunnel channels heat from the lantern out through the front of the seat so that an angler can warm their hands. A band with pockets encircles the base to hold extra fishing articles.

  • Patent number: 5156798
    Abstract: An improved part removal assembly (17) particularly for a shuttle-type blow molding machine (10). The part removal assembly includes a plurality of suction cups (95) mounted on a vertically moveable piston (87) that travels along a vertically oriented rodless cylinder (81) and a plurality of suction cups (115) mounted on a horizontally moveable piston (107) that travels along a horizontally oriented rodless cylinder (83). A mold assembly (15) shuttles between an extruder head assembly (11) where a plurality of parisons of molten plastic are captured in mold cavities (25) in the mold assembly, and a blow station assembly (13) where the parisons are blown to form a molded workpiece (31). The mold assembly then opens which causes a flash removal assembly (57) to remove a waste flash portion (55) from a bottom portion (31a) of the workpieces. The bottom of the workpieces are then engaged by the vertically moveable suction cups which lower the workpieces to a position adjacent to a conveyor (117).
