  • Patent number: 10091955
    Abstract: An irrigation system for watering lawns, plants, flowers, shrubs, trees, or other plants. The irrigation system includes a plurality of irrigation spikes which clamp onto and puncture into a standard garden hose. The spikes are placed into soil where desired and the garden hose is placed into a clamp opening of the spikes, where a needle pierces the hose. In a preferred embodiment, the hose is deformed by the clamp opening into an oblong shape to improve water flow through the spike. An alternative embodiment includes a remote hose connecting the clamp to the stake portion of the spike, so that the stake can be placed a distance away from the hose for remote irrigation.

  • Patent number: 9140517
    Abstract: A toy gun comprising a plurality of pre-cut thin layer members along with a plurality of pin members, wherein the toy gun is adapted to store a number of elastic bands and to shoot the stored elastic bands in rapid succession. A barrel top notch is adapted to receive front end of a stretched elastic band that will be fired by the toy gun. The stock comprises a series of recesses each of which is adapted to accommodate the rear end of a stretched elastic band. The fore-end member is movable and includes a series of secondary recesses along its back end, staggered in relation to the stock recesses, wherein any particular secondary recess is slightly below the corresponding stock recess and functions to transfer each elastic band from its stock recesses to an adjacent stock recess in the upward direction, toward the firing recess.
