Abstract: A cutting blade for use in a lawnmower or other cutting device has a contoured leading edge profile that forms a series of protrusions and contoured notches. Each contoured notch has a surface that is smooth and contoured such that air is funneled through the contoured notch by the adjacent protrusions, thereby causing the air to form vortices at the surface of the blade. The formation of the vortices helps the airflow to adhere to the blade surface rather than separate from it, thereby creating a more laminar streamlined flow that merges with air flowing over the opposite side of the blade at the trailing edge. By preventing the airflow from separating from the blade surface over a substantial portion of the blade, turbulence is significantly reduced. Thus, noise generated by the blade is significantly reduced as well. In addition, the blade experiences less drag, and the performance of the blade and lawnmower is generally increased.

Abstract: A trolling diver has a release arm which is hingedly connected to a plate. Mounted to the plate is a catch assembly. The catch assembly secures the release arm in a loose manner, between a first panel and a second panel, until triggered by a fish bite. A thru-hole of the release arm receives a first and second retaining member. The retaining members are loosely positioned into the thru-hole, allowing for the plate to realistically flop about within the catch assembly. The release arm is released from the catch assembly when a lure is triggered by a fish strike, resulting in the release arm rotating away from the catch assembly. The outboard lure attachment hole increases leverage and decreases the requisite force to trigger the release arm. Once released, the entire diver pulls thru the water with very little friction, allowing for easy retrieval of a hooked fish.
