Abstract: A dual rod apparatus for coupling and decoupling of attachment hooks to facilitate the mooring of a boat. The apparatus comprises an attachment front end which includes a hook, a hook attachment base connected onto the hook by a wedge. The hook attachment base having a pair of pull line apertures and a pair of rod channels. The apparatus includes a pair of rods, a pair of pull lines. A fixed guide provides stability for the rods and pull lines. A handle controls the apparatus. A slide is positioned between the guide and handle and opens the hook when the slide is pulled with sufficient force to overcome locking tensions placed by the hook.

Abstract: A releasable mooring pendant apparatus that can be coupled or decoupled to a boat. The apparatus comprising of a pair of clips, one at each end of a rod, with each clip comprising hook and ring sections, and an opening therebetween defining a mouth. A movable arm placed under tension to biasly maintain each clip in a closed position, and each clip may only be opened upon activation through the intermedium of a functional retractor lever by a boater pulling on a cable, wherein a functional retractor lever causes a greater force on the movable arm such that the clip is caused to open. The mooring pendant apparatus operates as an extension of the boater's arm, and it can be utilized either by keeping the apparatus on the boat or leaving it connected to the mooring line and also to the mooring ball.

Abstract: A mooring pendant apparatus for releasably coupling and decoupling a boat, the apparatus having a clip comprising hook and ring sections, with an opening therebetween defining a mouth. The ring section consists of a pair of loaded holes and an access of rotation hole. A movable arm is biased such that the mouth is kept closed, and it only opens upon activation by a boater who pulls on a cable causing a functional retractor arm to create a greater force on the movable arm that the force keeping it shut, therein causing it to open. A mooring rope is attached to the apparatus which operates as an extension of the boater's arm, and it can be utilized either by keeping the apparatus on the boat or leaving it connected to the mooring line and also to the mooring ball.

A spring loaded movable arm tension biased such that the mouth is kept closed, and it only opens upon activation by a boater pulling on a cable. A functional retractor arm for exerting a greater force on the movable arm than exerted by the internal spring such that the clip opens upon the boater pulling on a cable line. The mooring pendant apparatus operates as an extension of the boater's arm, and it can be utilized either by keeping the apparatus on the boat or leaving it connected to the mooring line and also to the mooring ball.

Abstract: A device for preventing a flag from wrapping around a flagpole. The flag is mounted to at least one device that is positioned on the flagpole. The flag has one edge affixed to a rod, which is therein connected on opposing ends to rotatory of the invention. The rotatory have a capability of 360 degrees of free rotation. Each rotator is positioned and supported on the flagpole by opposing stabilizers, which support and position the rotators in a suspended relationship with the flagpole, thereby allowing them to rotate while maintaining a proper flying flag.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a footrest which can be used as an exercise and/or massaging device for a user's lower extremities. The invention is very suitable for employment with a standardized stabilizer bar present under most every airplane seat. The functional element of the invention utilizes a compressible cushion or massage devices made from lightweight materials such as plastic. The invention is mounted onto the stabilizer bar by resilient arms that are dimensioned to be snap-fitted onto the bar.

Abstract: A water irrigation apparatus for watering plants and flowers at a cemetery monument location. The apparatus having a substantially hollow planter bed with an internal cavity for retaining and holding of water for distribution to the plant and flower soil. The planter bed having a sponge embedded on an interior surface to provide for the metered release of moisture to the plants and flowers on an as need basis.

Abstract: A dental mask which has two separate chambers, one for inhalation and the other for exhalation. The two separate chambers being separated by an elasticized strip across the philtrum area. The mask is designed to be disposable, yet also have the ability to accept, for increased protection, filter insertable pads which can be placed in the inner surface of the mask. An embodiment of the mask would allow the main frame to be reusable, by having means for snapping a disposable filter onto the frame.

Abstract: An air flow system based on the human circulatory system whereby a cushioning, cooling and circulating air flow is generated by a wearer of the shoe. The shoe includes a heart pump actuated by the wearer wherein arteries lead air throughout the shoe and veins return the air to the pump. The shoe is designed to free the foot of immobility and rigidity, to aid in development and maintenance of muscle groups required in function. The longitudinal arch that develops is formed by the wearer and is individualized for each wearer rather than being preformed in the shoe itself.

Abstract: A dental mirror having a planar surface encircled by a beveled perimeter. The mirror rotatively mounted upon a spherical support ball, whereby the dentist can continually maintain the correct angle of incidence to capture and reflect light beams from a light source. The planar surface continually being capable of pivoting in relationship to the pressure by the dentist to provide the smallest angle of incidence of reflecting light beams, which is vital to securing the greatest amount of illumination to the surgical area and also in avoiding unwanted distortion of any images in the work area.

Abstract: An air flow system based on the human circulatory system whereby a cushioning, cooling and circulating air flow is generated by a wearer of the shoe. The shoe has an on-demand sieve plate supplying air to a pump. The shoe includes a heart pump actuated by the wearer wherein arteries lead air throughout the shoe and veins return the air to the pump. The shoe is designed to free the foot of immobility and rigidity, to aid in development and maintenance of muscle groups required in function. The longitudinal arch that develops is formed by the wearer and is individualized for each wearer rather than being preformed in the shoe itself.

Abstract: A dental mask which has two separate chambers, one for inhalation and the other for exhalation. The two separate chambers being separated by an elasticized strip across the philtrum area. The mask is designed to be disposable, yet also have the ability to accept, for increased protection, filter insertable pads which can be placed in the inner surface of the mask. An embodiment of the mask would allow the main frame to be reusable, by having means for snapping a disposable filter onto the frame. The mask utilizes semirigid fibrous filtration material in the primary filtering area and transitional semirigid to soft pleated materials in the secondary filtering areas. The mask has a color changing adhesive strip section for retaining captured particles away from the primary nasal area and also to indicate when the mask has reached a saturation level thereby requiring change.

Abstract: A pull-top lid for a pressurized tennis ball container having a rubber safety shield for protecting against injury from the sharp pressing seam edge of the removed lid. The rubber gasket-like safety shield being bonded to the upper surface of the top enclosure panel and reaching beyond the pressing seam of the lid such that protection against injury is provided by the shield being extended beyond the sharp edge of the sheet metal. An alternative embodiment having an outer perimeter comprised of an arch shaped extension arm extending across the pressing seam and resting upon the circular lip of the raised rim. The lid upon being pulled off the the top panel synchonously causes the extension arm to wrap about and encapsulate the sharp edge of the pressing seam thereby preventing injury of any body parts.
