EXERCISING APPARATUS

EXERCISING APPARATUS

John H. Catron, Willow Glen, Calif.

Application March 19, 1935

• It is one object of the invention to provide exercising apparatus for the several muscles of the body, particularly those of the head, neck and back.
• It is also an object of the invention to provide an apparatus of the character indicated that is mountable on the head of the user and rendered operable by movement thereof.
• Another object of the invention is to provide an exerciser of the character indicated so constructed and arranged that no material friction may develop between the head of the user and the apparatus when the same is in use.
• Still another object of the invention is to provide an exerciser of the character indicated wherein the reaction forces developed between the exerciser and the head of the user are applied to the head on a plane normal to the vertical axis of rotation of the head and a substantial distance below the top of the head.
• Finally it is an object of the invention to provide an exerciser of the character indicated that will be economical to manufacture, simple in form and construction, that may be quickly and easily applied to and removed from the head, that consists of few parts, and that is strong, durable, and highly efficient in its practical application.

DEVICE FOR REMOVING HAIRPINS

DEVICE FOR REMOVING HAIRPINS

William H. Moore and Lela B. Fuller, Buffalo N.Y.

Application December 3, 1945

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in appliances for hair dressing establishments and more particularly to a device for removing hairpins from the hair of patrons of such establishments.

• It has for one of its objects to provide a device of this character which is so designed and constructed as to conform in whole or in part to the patron's head and effect the removal of a plurality of hairpins at one time.
• Another object of the invention is to provide a hairpin removing device which is simple, compact and durable in construction, and which affords the operator a material saving in time in removing the hairpins without discomfort or inconvenience to the patron.

SNORE ALARM

SNORE ALARM

George J. Wilson, 186 Benham Road, Groton, Conn.

Filed Feb. 2 1962

• A main object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved anti-snore device for awakening a sleeper responsive to his snoring, the device being relatively simple in construction, being easy to install, and providing an effective alarm action which will cause a sleeper to awake but which will not disturb other persons in the same area.
• A further object of the invention is to provide an automatic awakening device for jarring or shaking a sleeper when he begins to snore, the device involving relatively inexpensive components, being reliable in operation, and being adjustable so that it will operate automatically in response to a signal of any predetermined level of intensity.
• A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved anti-snore device which operates to awaken a sleeper when he starts to snore, the device being relatively compact in size, being inconspicuous in appearance, and being silent in its operation.

MECHANICAL CUTTING CALF

MECHANICAL CUTTING CALF

Lee R. Harris, 3307 Larry Lane, Austin TX

Filed Sept. 24, 1965

• 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.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 757,041, dated April 12, 1904

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Samuel Hosfeld, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Muscle-Developing Finger-Bands; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

• This invention relates to devices for strengthening the muscles of the fingers. The object of the invention is to provide a device of this character in the form of weights which may be applied to the fingers to strengthen them and render them supple, thereby facilitating the use or manipulation of the same in playing stringed or other musical instruments.
• A further object is to provide adjustable rings or bands for holding the weights on the fingers and to provide means whereby weights of different sizes may be applied to the rings or bands.
