  • Patent number: 5947874
    Abstract: An exercise device, for simulating elliptical motion of stair climbing, comprising a frame having a front support and a rear support, and comprising upper and lower exercise units. The front support and rear support meet at an apex where they form an acute angle. The exercise units each comprise a pair of elliptical guide tracks which each form a closed loop. A pair of actuating levers are each attached onto the guide tracks by a partial sleeve which is capable of travel around said loop. Each exercise unit also comprises a flywheel assembly which each has a pair of flywheels mounted to the rear support. Each flywheel is attached to one of the actuating levers by a connecting lever. The flywheels are shaped and the connecting levers are connected to the flywheels so as to permit elliptical motion of the actuating levers around the guide track.

  • Patent number: 5813165
    Abstract: A biodegradable snake trap 10 suitable for deployment from an aircraft is disclosed, comprising a hook 12 with line 14 attached, embedded in an egg 16. The egg 16 is encased in a frozen fluid 20 and disposed within container 18, to protect the egg 16. The snake trap 10 is dropped from an aircraft flying over the area in which the trap is to be deployed. A grapple 24 hooks onto tree limbs to prevent the snake trap from falling to the ground, and descent restrictor 26 slows the rate of descent of the trap. When the frozen fluid 20 melts, the container 18 falls away and exposes the egg 16, attracting snakes. When a snake swallows and crushes the egg 16, the hook 12 lodges in the snake's vital organs and kills the snake.
