Abstract: A fishing bobber can include a float body having an internal cavity with a weight and a rattler. The float body can have a concave top that expels out displaced water to create a splash. The fishing bobber may include a stem extending through the float body and terminating at a first end and a second end. The first end may include a first biased member and the second end may include a second biased member. A line securing rod with opposing hooks extending coaxially with the stem and beyond the first biased member and the second biased member can also be provided. The fishing bobber may also include opposing stem caps, where each stem cap can have with a central bore through which an opposing hook of the line securing rod extends. The float body may have a channel for receiving fishing line.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for making a molded roofing unit formed of a fiber-reinforced plastic composition. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises forming a camber in the roofing unit. The method of the present invention provides consistent results in the molding process, low material and production costs, and produces a roofing product with high rigidity and strength, impact resistance, stability in high wind conditions, and which is easy to install.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a molded roofing unit formed of a fiber-reinforced plastic composition configured to simulate the appearance of a conventional roofing product, such as a cedar shake, slate, or tile roofing product. The roofing product is configured to provide consistent results in the molding process, low material and production costs, high rigidity and strength, impact resistance, stability in high wind conditions, and ease of installation. In a preferred embodiment, the fiber-reinforced plastic composition is comprised of a polyolefin plastic compounded with at least partially delignified agricultural our forestry fibers. The roofing units possess high impact resistance, wind resistance and at least a Class C residential fire rating.
