  • Patent number: 12137678
    Abstract: A strike indicator and strike indicator tooling assembly for use in fishing. The strike indicator comprises two hemispheres that may form a substantially spherical outer dimension around fishing line. The two hemispheres may fit frictionally together to prevent movement or slipping of the fishing line between the two hemispheres once assembled. The hemispheres may be disassembled to replace the fishing line, and reuse the strike indicator. The tooling assembly comprises a top insert, and a bottom insert. The top insert and bottom insert compress around a foam sheet to form the spherical outer form figures of the two hemispheres.

  • Patent number: 7407419
    Abstract: An assembly for mounting an auxiliary outboard engine on a boat has a support frame with attachment means for mounting the support frame in an inclined position between a transom of the boat and a rear edge of a bathing platform projecting outwardly of the transom. An engine mount is slidable up and down the support frame to move an outboard engine carried on the mount in use between a lowered operating position in the water and a raised stored position above the bathing platform.

  • Publication number: 20080017602
    Abstract: A bottle includes a container and a label. The container includes a front portion, a back portion, an opening and a spine portion. The back portion is spaced from the front portion and generally faces away and in an opposite direction from the front portion. The opening is positioned between the front portion and the back portion of the container to at least partially define a first end of the container. The spine portion extends between the front portion and the back portion of the container to define a second end of the container opposite the first end. The label extends over and is in contact with each of the front portion, the back portion and the spine portion of the container. Other bottle and container embodiments are also disclosed herein and provide additional advantages.

  • Publication number: 20060070925
    Abstract: A self-propelled screening apparatus (1) having a chassis (11); a pair of endless tracks (12) supporting the chassis (11); a superstructure (13) rotatably mounted on the chassis (11); a prime mover provided in or on the superstructure (13) and arranged to provide motive power to operate the endless tracks (12) and where the prime mover is rotatable with the superstructure (13); and a screen box (16) mounted on the superstructure (13), also for rotation therewith. The screen box (16) has an input (17) for receiving a supply of bulk material, at least one screen deck for screening the bulk material, and an output for discharging screened material. The prime mover and the screen box (16) are arranged on opposite sides of the rotational axis of the superstructure (13), to provide a stable weight distribution.

  • Publication number: 20030192483
    Abstract: A pet shelter that enables efficient stacking of multiple shelters in a bottom-top-bottom-top-bottom-etc. arrangement is provided. The shelter comprises a bottom section and a top section. Both the top and bottom sections are preferably hollow rectangular boxes with one missing side. Both sections have sloping sidewalls and a substantially U-shaped opening in one sidewall. The sidewalls of the top and bottom sections slope at roughly equal angles. The legs of the U-shaped openings are bent at roughly equal angles on both the top and bottom sections. The height of the top section is roughly equal to the height of the bottom section. The roof of the top section has a very gradual slope, such that the peak of the roof does not obstruct insertion of a top section into a bottom section. Thus, the top and bottom sections are configured such that an inverted top section fits snugly within an interior of a bottom section, and a bottom section fits snugly within an interior of an inverted top section.
