Abstract: A rotary auger tie down mounting stand for removably holding a tie down upright on the ground. The stand includes an elongated rod with a helical coil or flights forming an auger base having a point at the lower distal end to be fixedly and removably screwed into the ground to support the stand in an upright position. The top distal end of the rod forming the stand body defines a holding means such as a loop, ring, or hook extending above an main body handle portion comprising a S-shaped loop forming a handle and having a holding means such as a loop or hook extending from a top distal end of the elongated rod which provides an anchor for a rope, chain, strap or other tether to support a structure attached thereto. The integral loop handle provides a means for rotating the auger into the ground.

Abstract: A rotary auger support for mounting and removably holding a articles or devices upright on the ground. The includes an upright rod with a helical coil comprising a rectangular or square cross section defining flights forming an auger base having a point at the lower distal end to be fixedly and removably screwed into the ground to support the in an upright position.

Abstract: A rotary mounting stand for removably holding a decoy, camera or there selected device upright on the ground. The stand includes an upright rod with a helical coil or flights forming an auger having a point at the lower distal end to be fixedly and removably screwed into the ground to support the stand in an upright position. The top end of the rod forming the stand shape cap configured, sized and shaped to correspond to the mounting base of a selected device to be supported on the stand. Just above the helical coil at least two outward extending legs extend normal to or perpendicular to the vertical rod forming a base when the auger portion is screwed into the ground. The distal end of each of the legs are bent or angled to extend upward perpendicular from the ground a selected distance forming handles for the purpose of rotating the auger into the ground. The auger is intended to be cranked until the at least two outward extending legs come to bear against the ground for increased lateral support.

The top end of the rod forming the stand body defines an S-shaped loop configured, sized and shaped and disposed at a selected angle to support an article thereon. The top adapter is capable of supporting a decorative element, sign, target, or other element. An S-shaped handle is formed integrally within the support shaft longitudinal member extending from the auger.

Abstract: A rotary auger bow mounting stand for removably holding a bow upright on the ground. The stand includes an upright rod with a helical coil or flights forming an auger base having a point at the lower distal end to be fixedly and removably screwed into the ground to support the stand in an upright position. The top end of the rod forming the stand body defines an S-shaped loop configured, sized and shaped and disposed at a selected angle to support a the arm of a bow holding the bow in a substantially vertical position above the ground. The integral loop which supports the is bow forms a handle for the purpose of rotating the auger into the ground.

Abstract: A stake which can be screwed into the ground to hold a device such as a water fowl decoy or a trail camera in position primarily for use out doors. The stake includes a helical coil at one end for fixedly and removably attaching that end of the stake into the ground by screwing the helical coil into the ground. The other end of the stake includes a receiver for removably and fixedly attaching a water fowl decoy such as a duck decoy or other elements such as a camera in cooperative engagement with the receiver on the top end of the stake. The stake includes an integral handle configured to manually turn the stake in order to screw the coiled end into the ground. One embodiment includes three outrigger legs for further stability.

Abstract: A pet toy and exercise device comprising a first length non-elastic of cord extending from a ball in one direction, an elastic cord coupled to the first length of non-elastic cord, and a shorter length of non-elastic cord providing a chewing or grasping aid extending from the ball in another direction. A method of using a pet toy and exercise device is also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention provides an attachment for inflatable watercraft such as inflatable rafts to render such watercraft more suitable for sports fishing. The attachment includes a swivelable seat mounted at a convenient height for fishing, oarlocks mounted at the optimum position for rowing while seated, and, in the preferred embodiment, means for deploying an anchor or drag to keep the watercraft in the desired location. The attachment is mounted on and supported by the gunwales of the inflatable watercraft, to distribute the weight of the attachment and its user over as wide an area as possible in order to enhance the stability of the watercraft in use.
