Abstract: The instant invention consists of a device similar to an inverted shallow basket with a myriad of openings through which water and air may pass easily. The device, when placed into an ice chest, holds the items in the chest up out of the melted ice water, thereby keeping the items from contamination and spoilage.

Abstract: A drawing/tracing/template apparatus (10) that can be used by an artist and/or a teacher to perform or teach various artistic tasks including basic drawing, manuscript and cursive writing, block printing, finger painting and template/block recognition exercises. The apparatus (10) is comprised of three assemblies: a template/block assembly (12), a drawing/tracing assembly (14) and a light panel/paper roller assembly (16). Each assembly may be used independently as the drawing/tracing assembly (14) may be used in combination with the light panel/paper roller assembly. Additionally, all three assemblies may be integrally attached to form a single package that allows the apparatus (10) to be easily carried and stored.

Abstract: A structure utilizing a plurality of hollow X-sections connected together by a rope threaded through each leg. A first ring body and a second ring body are located above and below the assembled X-sections and contain a series of spaced holes through which the ropes extend. Tightening means in multiple form, or single form, allow the ropes to be retracted through the holes, tensioning the entire assembly until all of the interface joints are tight. This provides a rigid structured cylinder through which a body member, such as an arm, leg, back or neck may be inserted to act as a splint or assist the normal body movements when walking.
