  • Patent number: 5029572
    Abstract: The present invention provides a body warming device comprising a breathing tube extending to a body fitting member to be worn under a overcoat. The body fitting member receives relatively warm air breathed into the device through the breathing tube and has numerous small exhaust ports for dispersing that warm air from the device where it is effectively trapped and provides a warming effect beneath the overcoat. The device further includes a lower end water trap where moisture condensed out of the breathed air before it leaves the device is collected, with the water trap being removable to then drain the water from the device.

  • Patent number: 4979916
    Abstract: The present invention provides a paddle assembly particularly designed for attachment to a canoe. The paddle assembly comprises a plurality of paddle members at opposite ends of the assembly, a central crank with sideways extending drive shafts to the paddle members, a pair of spaced apart gunwale clamps through which the drive shafts are rotatably fitted and an adjustable cinch strap between the gunwale clamps for wrapping beneath the canoe and cinching the gunwale clamps down onto the canoe to secure the paddle assembly in position.
