Abstract: Briefly, a nasal strip is provided that targets specific internal structures in the nose to efficiently and effectively open nasal passages for improved breathing and air flow. The nasal strip has (1) a vertical beam portion that may optionally be used to lift the end of the nose, (2) an upper lateral beam leaf spring that lifts the nose's internal upper cartilage, and (3) a lower lateral beam leaf spring that lifts the nose's internal lower cartilage. Each of these contributes to improved air flow in the nasal passageways. Further, the vertical beam portion acts as an attachment guide that facilitates repeatable and correct wearing of the nasal strip. In one construction, the nasal strip is a unitary body with three layers: a base adhesive layer, a middle leaf spring layer, and a covering layer.

Abstract: A kick down and kick up catamaran assembles by hand with holes in main spar and stern spar ends receiving threaded rods extending vertically from the side-by-side hulls, secured in place with hand knobs. A bow spar with a line to the mast lifts the mast to vertical and is then secured between the hulls. A mast operationally rests with its proximal end alongside the main spar, held in place by an easily removable cord that wraps the main spar and slips into a mast slot opening at the mast proximal end. A trampoline stretches between the main and stern spars providing a platform on which the operator sits, tightened by a plurality of adjustable straps between the trampoline and the stern spar.

A bow spar with a line to the mast lifts the mast to vertical and is then secured between the hulls. A mast that operationally rests with its proximal end alongside the main spar, held in place by an easily removable cord that wraps the main spar and slips into a mast slot opening at the mast proximal end. A trampoline stretches between the main and stern spars provide a platform on which the operator sits, tightened by a plurality of adjustable straps between the trampoline and the stern spar. A rudder is mounted on each hull that traces the underwater relief or objects as they might impact the rudder distal end. The rudder rotates rearward on a horizontal axis against a spring bias about a pivot pin on a mounting plate as the catamaran moves forward as it impacts an underwater object.
