Abstract: A dual-posture Electric Assist Bicycle (EAB) permits a rider to assume a rider-upright position while peddling or a rider-recumbent position while coasting with the electric assist propulsion system engaged. The rider can alternate between positions safely and while in motion. The dual-posture EAB comprises: a seat assembly, a footrest assembly and an extended handlebar assembly. The EAB's seat assembly includes an inclined backrest that is typically affixed to the EAB's seat post. Left and right footrests are affixed near the EAB's headtube. The extended handlebar typically includes means for quickly repositioning the controls while under way to optimize ergonomics for whichever seating posture is being used. In another example of the invention the frame of the bicycle is foldable into a dolly configuration for easy moving and storage.

Abstract: A dual-mode screwdriver has a manual and powered actuation mode achieved by inverting the screwdriver body. The screwdriver has a driveshaft having two ends each adapted for receiving the shank of a screwdriver bit. The body contains a plurality of slots for storing a plurality of screwdriver bits. Magnets are contained in each of the slots for retaining the bits within their respective slots. The outside surface of the body is contoured for hand gripping and torquing. The driveshaft is adapted for coupling to a powered drill.

Abstract: A workstation comprising a base, a working platform and a supporting member between the base and the working platform is disclosed and used in conjunction with a typical ergonomically adjustable office chair. The workstation includes a pair of leg rests adjustably fixed to the supporting member such that the user can fully extend and support their legs in a comfortable manner. The angle and position of the working platform and leg rests are adjusted in concert with adjustments to the chair's height and seating angle to optimize the user's posture while operating a computer.

Abstract: A wearable caddy for a personal audio device (PAD) adapted to mount at least one PAD and store excess earphone cord. The caddy comprises a front plate and a back plate joined by a plate separating member that creates a space between the plates adapted to store the excess cod by spooling the excess cord around the separating member. The PAD is mounted to the front surface of the front plate using a double-sided adhesive pad. A clear self-adhesive plastic cover is placed over the face of the PAD. More than one pad may be mounted to the same caddy. The caddy clips to the belt of the wearer and can be used to store earphone cord or heavier head-set cord.

Abstract: A label system for a slim-line CD jewel case comprises a label having first, second and third faces. The first and third faces are adapted to receive first and second sets of printed matter. The third face fits along the narrow spine of the CD jewel case. The label is carried on a carrier sheet through the computer printer. In a preferred embodiment the label is a dodecagonal sheet having adjacent first, second, third, fourth and fifth faces. The first and third faces are adapted to receive a first and second set of printed matter from a computer printer. The fourth and fifth faces separate the third face from the mechanical margins of the printer so a carrier sheet is not required. The invention includes a virtual label template to be displayed on a computer screen so that printed matter can be placed on the first and third faces of the labels.

Abstract: A trigger lock for a firearm lock is disclosed comprising a trigger lock body having a trigger blocking portion. The trigger blocking portion has a head and a body for placement behind the trigger to prevent rearward movement of the trigger to a firing position. The trigger lock body includes a flange adjacent to and integral with the trigger blocking portion for positioning in an abutting relationship with the trigger guard thereby preventing lateral and twisting movement of the trigger blocking portion once placed behind the trigger. There is provided at least one shoulder portion extending laterally from the head of the body beyond the corresponding side of the trigger guard when the body is placed behind the trigger to resisting twisting motion. The trigger lock body mounts to a shackle of a padlock so that the body and padlock shackle to which it is mounted forms a unitary trigger guard for insertion behind the trigger.

Abstract: A bicycle stand, which includes a prop that may be attached to a bicycle pedal. Attachment of the prop to the pedal may be by a “socket-bolt” having a hole in one end and a threaded hole in the other. The socket-bolt replaces the lock nut normally located on the bearing spindle of a pedal. In one embodiment, the socket and prop may include socket and prop having the same polygonal cross section thereby preventing rotational instability of the inserted prop-member. The prop-member may be substantially “L” shaped, thereby providing a ground contact point located below and outboard of the pedal. When the pedal assembly is rotated near its lowest point, the bicycle can be securely tilted onto the prop-member. The prop-member may also be configured to serve as a lever that applies torque to standard mechanic's toolbits.
