Abstract:
A device for spraying an inner surface of a toilet bowl with a cleaning and/or deodorizing chemical is disclosed. The device includes a container for the chemical, a container holder, a sprayer through which the chemical can be sprayed laterally at least halfway around a perimeter of the sprayer, means for attaching the sprayer near a rim of the toilet bowl, and a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the container and the sprayer. The toilet bowl cleaning device can include a hand or foot actuated lever for releasing a fluid from the container into a fluid delivery system, and a clip for mounting the sprayer adjacent an inner wall of the toilet bowl wherein the clip can be adjusted to fit different size toilet bowls.

Abstract:
A clip for mounting a fluid delivery device adjacent a wall of an enclosure is disclosed. In one form, the clip mounts a fluid delivery device for spraying a fluid, such as a cleaner or deodorizer, on the inside surfaces of an enclosure, such as a toilet bowl, where the clip can be adjusted to fit different size toilet bowls. The clip includes a base configured to attach to the fluid delivery device, an adjustable mounting mechanism supporting the base adjacent the wall, and a biasing means for vertically biasing the base towards a top portion of the adjustable mounting mechanism. A device for spraying an inner surface of an enclosure with a fluid is also disclosed.
A waterfowl motion decoy having a hollow body shaped in the form of a waterfowl and at least one wing member shaped in the form of a waterfowl wing is provided. The decoy comprises a gear train and a swivel joint. The gear train is coupled to a drive shaft driven by a force. The swivel joint includes a wing adapter configured to be couple to a wing member. The swivel joint is coupled to the body of the decoy and the gear train so that, when the gear train is driven by the force, the swivel joint pivots the wing adapter about a pivot axis and rotate the wing adapter about a rotation axis. The pivot axis and the rotation axis are not parallel to each other.

Abstract:
A physically-discrete sign component comprises an internally-electrically-illuminated alphabetic character having a front-facing profile and at least one connecting bar disposed at least substantially horizontally with respect to the front-facing profile of the alphabetic character and at least partially within the front-facing profile of that alphabetic character. By one approach the physically-discrete sign component includes two of the connecting bars. If desired, these two connecting bars are disposed at least substantially parallel to one another. By one approach, a first one of the connecting bars extends partially, but not wholly, above an upper periphery of the aforementioned front-facing profile while the second connecting bar extends partially, but not wholly, below a lower periphery of the front-facing profile. The connecting bars can include a connecting-bar interface configured to physically and electrically interconnect to an adjacent sign component.

Abstract:
An extendable stick includes an elongate body comprising a first member, a second member, and a third member arranged in a telescopic nesting formation. A pulley system is disposed within the elongate body, wherein the pulley system is in operative communication with the first, second, and third members of the elongate body to extend the first member and the third member simultaneously outwardly from the elongate body and retract the first member and the third member simultaneously inwardly from the elongate body.
