SCARECROW

SCARECROW

Hugh Huffman and Ernest J. Peck, of Portland, Oregon

Application filed July 8, 1915

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Hugh Huffman and Ernest J. Peck, citizens of the United States, and residents of Portland, county of Multnomah, and State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Scarecrows, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to scare crows which are adapted to be used in a garden patch, field, or orchard for the purpose of scaring away intruding birds or animals which might eat or otherwise injure the crop.

Prior to our invention, the scare crows ordinarily used were crude affairs, being generally home-made and not wholly satisfactory.

One of the  main objects of our invention is to provide a more efficient form of scarecrow consisting of a figure formed to resemble a living animal in the posture of approaching its prey.  The means of mounting this scare crow are so arranged that the action of the wind will give various motions to the figure which will simulate the lifelike movements of the animal.  The figure is also provided with an audible alarm which will sound in accordance with the movements of the figure so  as to attract the attention of the intruding birds or animals.

PERFUME DISPENSER

PERFUME DISPENSER

Milton B. Seligman, Philadelphia, Pa.

Application July 9, 1949

The present invention has to do with a perfume dispenser and is concerned primarily with a dispenser that is made as the replica of a live figure.

At the present time, members of the female sex which comprise the large majority of the users of perfume are desirous of having the perfume available in a dispenser which presents an attractive appearance when exposed to view on a dressing table. Following this trend the present invention has in view as its foremost objective the provision of a perfume dispenser which takes the form of the representation of a live figure.

While it is possible and entirely practical to simulate almost any live figure in producing such a dispenser, the invention has particularly in mind the figure of a woman.

It is of course, necessary to provide a discharge opening together with a removable closure for the opening. Thus another object is to provide, in a perfume dispenser of the type indicated, a live figure having a mouth which is fashioned to constitute the discharge opening.

In providing a closure for the discharge opening, the invention proposes the use of an element which blends in with the figure; thus, with the dispenser taking the form of a woman, the closure for the discharge opening takes the form of a cigarette which is adapted to function as a plug for the discharge opening.

• This invention relates to animal training devices, and most particularly to a mechanical simulated calf for use in training horses which will be ultimately employed in cattle herding operations.
• A main object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved mechanical calf to be employed for training horses in herding operations, namely, in cutting out calves, the mechanical calf being relatively simple in construction, being remotely controlled by a radio link so that it can be caused to perform various maneuvers, and being arranged so that it can be caused to move in various different patterns typical of live calves.
