  • Patent number: 5699632
    Abstract: A fishing mitt is provided for keeping the hand of a fisher warm while maintaining sensitivity on a fishing rod. The mitt has a shell and insulating lining configured with a size and shape to encircle the hand of a fisher. A first opening is provided through which a user may dispose a hand within the mitt. The mitt includes a second opening near the outer end of the mitt which is adapted to snugly receive a fishing rod handle extending therethrough so that the hand of the fisher may grip the rod handle in direct contact. Protective end cover containing a fastener may be unfastened to allow access to the second opening or closed to cover the second opening when the mitt is not used in cooperation with a rod handle.

  • Patent number: 5090281
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing longitudinal, laterally spaced slits in a continuously moving sheet or web of corrugated paperboard or the like includes a plurality of upper tool heads each supporting a thin, circular rotary slitting blade. The blades are coaxially mounted and driven by a common drive shaft and each blade-carrying tool head is independently positionable across the width of the paperboard sheet. Each slitting assembly includes a lower tool head or counterhead carrying a roller assembly which supports the underside of the moving board and provides a firm surface to support the board against the upper rotary slitting blade. The roller assembly includes a circumferential radially extending slot in its outer surface through which an edge portion of the upper cutting blade travels with the sheet firmly supported by the roller surfaces on each side of the slot.
