  • Patent number: 7162831
    Abstract: A fish bait system includes a fish compartment and a filter compartment for maintaining bait fish in a healthy condition for prolonged periods prior to use. The fish bait system allows water to be pumped from the fish compartment through a filter having a standard non-woven reusable media whereby the filtered water is returned through an air infuser to the fish compartment. The infuser is mounted on the wall separating the fish and filter compartments and saturates the filtered water with oxygen to insure the fish are provided with an adequate oxygen supply. The removable filter media can be easily extracted from the filter housing, rinsed or replaced and returned to the filter in a quick and efficient manner.

  • Patent number: 5186676
    Abstract: A body of foam rubber overlies a generally cylindrical rim of the wheel of the assembly. A tread rubber body has a central section that overlies the outer surface of the tread rubber body. Side sections of the tread rubber body extend angularly from its central section and overlie opposite sides of the foam rubber body. The foam rubber body is bonded to the rim of the wheel assembly. A central section of the tread rubber body is boned to the outer surface of the foam rubber body. Opposite side sections of the tread rubber body are bonded to opposite sides of the foam rubber body, and may also be bonded to opposite edge portions of the wheel rim. The side sections of the tread rubber body reduce the possibility of foam rubber being ejected from the sides of the foam rubber body, and also reduce outward expansion of the bodies due to centrifugal force.
