Abstract: A creel assembly having an outer wall defines an interior space, a plurality of yarn package engagement locations distributed within the interior space, a gantry that is movable secured within the interior space, and at least one processor. The gantry is positioned to selectively engage yarn packages within the interior space. In use, the gantry can selectively access the plurality of yarn package engagement locations. The processor is communicatively coupled to the gantry and receives an input corresponding to a selected action by the gantry. Modular creel systems can be formed from a plurality of the disclosed creel assemblies. Methods of using and assembling the disclosed creel assemblies and modular creel systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: A church baptistry formed of reinforced polyester material has a main tub area with a bottom wall and contiguous adjoining side walls and end walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall, and at least one integrally formed stairway extending outwardly and upwardly from one or more of the side or end walls. Each stairway has opposed side walls and an inclined bottom wall adjoined at a lower end to the tub area which extends angularly upward and outward therefrom with a flight of steps formed in the inclined bottom wall. At least one lower step is integrally formed in the tub area bottom wall and adjacent side or end wall and extends a distance upwardly from the bottom wall and inwardly a distance into the main tub area beyond the adjacent side or end wall to form a continuation of the flight of steps and may serve as a child's platform. The steps have a tread width greater than the corresponding riser height.

Abstract: A hollow cylindrical hunting blind that can be supported on the ground or on a tower is formed of elongate arcuate panels and a domed roof which, in a preferred embodiment, have surface corrugations simulating the bark of a tree. A ladder-stand connected to the tower can be easily disconnected from the tower to serve as a leaning tree stand. Lower windows provide a view of the surroundings from a seated position and smaller peep windows above the lower windows provide a view from a standing position. The lower windows slide to cover the window opening in a closed position and completely uncover the window opening in a fully open position, and can be maintained at selective positions between the fully closed and fully open positions. The domed roof has a rain channel formed therein to capture and direct rain water downwardly and outwardly between the windows. One or more swivel chairs movably mounted in the enclosure are capable of revolving 360.degree.

The lower windows slide to cover the window opening in a closed position and completely uncover the window opening in a fully open position, and can be maintained at selective positions between the fully closed and fully open positions. A flexible cable having a control knob located between the windows opens and closes the windows without noise or visible arm movement. The domed roof has a rain channel formed therein to capture and direct rain water downwardly and outwardly between the windows.
