  • Publication number: 20210267785
    Abstract: A manually formable member applies a lateral force to each of the nostrils to reduce or prevent the lateral (side) walls of the nose from collapsing inwardly when the wearer inhales. A first end of the breathing accessory is placed in one nostril, and the opposite end is placed within a second or opposite nostril. An arcuate portion of the breathing accessory is positioned over the bridge of the wearer's nose to hold the device in place. The breathing accessory is so constructed of a formable member that can be manually manipulated to a desired shape to provide a custom fit for the wearer.

  • Patent number: 5321903
    Abstract: A compact signaling device mounted on a fishing pole for visually alerting a fisherman when a fish strikes the fishing line. The device comprises an electrical circuit including an LED, a battery, a switch for opening and closing the electrical circuit and a normally-closed pivoting arm that mechanically opens the switch when a portion of fishline is placed under the pivoting arm. When tension on the fishline increases sufficiently to remove it from under the pivoting arm, such as when a fish strikes the fishing line, the pivoting arm moves to close the switch thus illuminating the LED and alerting the fisherman. Also, the device has a rack and pinion gear or, alternatively, a threaded thumb screw for adjusting the pivoting arm so that the tension required to remove fishline from the pivoting arm can be varied in preselected increments.
