  • Patent number: 5987648
    Abstract: A cap has a visor and a hole defined by its crown. The hole communicates with a pocket that extends from the hole external to the crown. The hole and pocket are sized to easily accommodate a ball to be caught, e.g. a baseball. A ball flying into the crown will be funneled by the crown through the hole and into the pocket to be trapped therein. The pocket prevents the ball from bouncing out of the cap's crown. The pocket can be folded and fastened against the crown, or concealed inside the crown, to give the cap a conventional appearance. The visor has a grip affixed to it to help a wearer securely grip the visor while trying to catch a flying ball in the crown's pocket. The force of a ball being caught releases the pocket and causes it to unfold, trapping the ball.

  • Patent number: 4751763
    Abstract: A mop bucket insert for maintaining a portion of a cleaning liquid contained in a bucket free of suspended solids. A platform spaced above the bottom of the bucket and side walls coupled with the platform substantially segregated solids which have settled in the compartment formed between the bucket bottom and platform, preventing suspension of these solids when a mop agitates the liquid. The platform provides a surface against which a cleaning instrument may be applied to remove solids entrained in the fibrous elements of the mop.
