Abstract: A staggered tine rake construction (10) including an elongated handle member (20) having a lower end (22) operatively connected to both a front (12) and rear (13) rake unit wherein both rake units (12) and (13) include rake members (30) (30′) having mounting sockets (31) (31′) which captively engage the upper ends of a plurality of rake tines (32) (32′) whose intermediate portions are connected to spacer bars (33) (33′) which are spaced from one another by a spacer collar (42); wherein, the first plurality of tines (32) and the second plurality of tines (32′) are both laterally and horizontally offset relative to one another to produce a staggered tine array.

Abstract: A method of forming an apertured support member is accomplished by directing a laser beam at a workpiece, focusing the laser beam at the top surface of the workpiece, moving the laser beam in a series of raster scans over the surface of the workpiece. During each scan, the laser is turned on at predetermined intervals to drill one or more discrete portions of each of the apertures to form apertures surrounded by a plateau on the resulting support member.

Abstract: A male truss for assisting in producing and maintaining an erection. A linear rigid member is mounted upon a loop capable of drawing the member into biasing contact against the dorsal side of the penis to restrict the flow of blood moving through the dorsal vein.
