  • Publication number: 20040169312
    Abstract: This invention is directed toward a sculpture, and the method of making the sculpture, utilizing a mold and manufacturing method in which the underside of the mold mimics the top of an ocean bottom, or other underwater environment, which can be painted to realistically depict different types of corals and fishes. This ocean bottom can be seen through clear, smooth-surfaced sections of the front, sides, and back of the sculpture, thereby creating an “aquarium view” of the ocean bottom. The invention also contains a fish-eye lens, which can be moved in several directions, thereby affording a user numerous views of the surfer, wave, and ocean bottom from different perspectives, or of other aquatic sportspeople engaging in various aquatic sports. The fish-eye lens can be mounted above the water, or at the waterline, thereby affording a view of the environment and actions both above and below the waterline.

  • Patent number: 6253378
    Abstract: A cap for wearing under the team designating outer cap during team water sports consists of a hemispherically shaped body defining side sections and the first and a second transverse section. The cap is reversible so that either the first or the second transverse section can be worn over the forehead of the wearer. To prevent a violation of rules and to avoid confusing the players it is conventional that the inner cap resemble the outer cap in color. Conventionally one team wears a white or light-colored cap while the opposing team wears a dark colored cap. The inner cat of the present invention is provided with dark indicia covering the portion of the surface of one of the transverse sections so that in the event the outer cap rides back on the players head exposing the portion of the inner cap, the indicia will substantially reduce possible confusion which could occur if the players catch a glimpse of the normally light-colored inner cap.
