Abstract: The present invention is a guide mat having guide indicia thereon for use in particular for guiding proper positioning of a person engaged in roping an animal, including heading (roping all or a portion of the head of the animal) and heeling (roping all or a portion of the rear legs of the animal). The guide may also be useful in properly positioning a participant in other sporting activities.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficiently laying geotextile or like material on a preferably prepared target surface. The apparatus includes a tractor or like machine mountable dispensing device mounted to a tractor or like construction machine and having at least one roll of geotextile or like material rollingly and dispensingly mounted to the device. The apparatus is used in rolling out and laying down geotextile or like material on a target surface as the tractor or like machine drives/rolls/moves along or in near proximity to the target surface.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for efficiently laying geotextile or like material on a preferably prepared target surface. The apparatus preferably defines a tractor or like machine mountable dispensing device mounted to a tractor or like construction machine and having at least one roll of geotextile or like material rollingly and dispensingly mounted to the device. The apparatus is used in rolling out and laying down geotextile or like material on a target surface as the tractor or like machine drives/rolls/moves along or in near proximity to the target surface.

Abstract: The present invention is a rehabilitation and mobility improvement apparatus (RMIA) and method of use for use in providing increased mobility in persons having reduced strength and mobility due to for instance injury or illness. The RMIA preferably defines a user wearable harness having at least one stretchable bungee cord and an appendage support device. The appendage support device is placed on a mobility reduced appendage (MRA) of the user allowing the user to exercise the MRA without needing to support the entire weight of the MRA. The RMIA is adjustable so as to alter resistance, to exercise a different MRA, and to accommodate users of different sizes.

Abstract: The present invention is a trigger actuated light emitting device. The light emitting apparatus is preferably mounted to a weapon such as a handgun, carbine, or rifle. The light may be a “flashlight” type light or a focused laser light, or a combination thereof The light is preferably actuated by either the pulling or actuating of a first stage of a multi-stage trigger, or by the pulling or actuating of a first blade of a multi-blade trigger.

Abstract: The present invention is a rehabilitation and mobility improvement apparatus (RMIA) and method of use for use in providing increased mobility in persons having reduced strength and mobility due to for instance injury or illness. The apparatus is adapted so as to allow a person who could not readily slide or move their arm or other mobility reduced appendage (MRA) to slide or move their MRA, such as across a flat surface such as a table top or a floor, so as to provide exercise for such MRA, and so as to increase strength and mobility in such MRA.

Abstract: The excavator hammer attachment apparatus is adapted to be quickly attached to an excavator or skid-steer loader arm and used in easily and quickly demolishing concrete by swinging the apparatus and striking the concrete. Because the apparatus employs rubber isolators instead metal springs, such demolition is able to be accomplished with less noise and shock to the machine to which it is attached than would otherwise occur and with substantially improved operator safety.

Abstract: The present invention is a ground preparation apparatus for use in maintaining substantially uniformly soft and smooth soil while providing a movable roping target. The apparatus is usefully in avoiding the need to separately maintain ground to be used in roping practice while at the same time providing a moving roping target.
