Various devices can be used to hold the shelves against the walls including telescoping rods attached to the connector shelf and the other two shelves with a set screw holding the rods in place. A compression spring can also push on the outer shelves; or screws can pass through either screw bosses on the two other shelves and into the respective walls or a bracket can, be attached to the outer shelves and the walls.

The invention comprises an anchor, rope and pulley system to load and unload cargo into and out of passenger vehicles. The anchor system comprises two load bearing straps and a means to attach the straps together. The straps are looped around the vehicle's side handle grips. The looped straps attach to each other near the center of the cargo area. The rope and pulley system comprises a rope, a large pulley, a small pulley, a means to attach the rope and pulley system to the anchor system, a means to attach the cargo to the rope and pulley system, and a means to clamp the rope to create a handle. Cargo can be lifted into a vehicle by pulling the handle with one hand and guiding the cargo with the other hand. A durable guard material over the cargo area's point of entry protects the vehicle and cargo from damage.

An ultra light, low cost and easy-changed-contour-surface golf swing platform is invented. The platform is easy to operate and capable of providing plurality of lie conditions such as uphill, downhill, sidehill up and sidehill down lies which usually are provided only by complicated inclination and rotation mechanisms in other inventions of similar purpose. The ultra-light and low cost golf swing platform needs no power to operate so that it is also portable to anywhere. It is easily affordable for driving range stations and individual golfers.

A device which is utilized during practice or other informal situation to teach a football player such as a quarterback or kicker to deliver a football around or over one or preferably a group of linemen. In one embodiment, the device includes a mechanism capable of moving at least one figure, simulative of a human athlete, from an inactive position to an active position which is adapted to mimic predetermined characteristics of a defensive line. In yet a further embodiment, the training device has a gate of a predetermined height and width operatively connected to a base which can be utilized, for example, to practice throwing, snapping, or hiking the football, or the like. In another embodiment, the training device includes a backstop, such as a net, which can be utilized to stop a football used with the training device, such as during practice of a snap, a kick, a throw or a punt.

A press for hot dog rolls and hamburger rolls uses a pair of elongate rollers that are attached to one another by one or more connector legs. One of the rollers serves as a handle while the other is radially rolled across a hot dog roll. A hamburger press is a short plate cylindrical member that has a flat lower surface and an upper surface that is removably attached to one of the rollers. With the opposing roller being used as a handle, the hamburger press is pressed onto a hamburger roll. A patty press is a cylindrical member with a flat bottom and an upwardly depending sidewall that define a hollow central portion. The patty press receives an appropriate food product therein and thereafter the hamburger press is received within the hollow central portion and presses onto the food product in order to form a patty out of the food product.

The invention is Display Frame System comprised of an outer unit and inner member which pivots where a female and male edge of each respectively meet. The inner member swings into the outer unit engaging the remaining edges by means of a locking mechanism. The combination of the outer unit and inner member serve to hold a display panel/board in place. Pins, medals or the like can be secured to the display panel/board. The system allows for extreme ease of accessing the pins or medals displayed as well as the ability to transport and use the assembled frame in other manners of display such as upon an easel as well as vertically or horizontally.

A self-correcting scope compares the original aim point of a projectile discharge device with the actual impact point and self-corrects the scope to account for the offset between these two points. The scope uses a typical optical lens which converts the incoming image to a digital image which is displayed by the invention on a digital display device which functions as the “eyepiece” of the scope. The invention also compresses the image either to the left or to the right or both of the field of interest in order to allow a shooter to be able to detect an intrusion into the field on interest from a point farther than can be achieved in a non-compressed image.

A protective sleeve used to cover and isolate tools such as cooking utensils, medical tools, industrial tools and the like from contaminants. The sleeve comprises an interior portion, an exterior portion, and an exterior trim and is comprised of a malleable material so that it may be crimped and secured to the end of any utensil or tool. The sleeve, being malleable, may also be shaped to supplement the utensil or tool. For example, a sleeve over a spatula could be shaped with lipped edges so as to allow the spatula to more easily hold and maneuver foods. An example of a use of the protective sleeve is to protect foods from cross-contamination of harmful bacteria that may be present on raw or undercooked meats.
