H04M015/06

US Classification:

379/142170

Abstract:

A projection caller ID system includes a caller ID display and controls and a projection arm to project caller ID data including caller name and number onto a surface such as a wall or ceiling. The projection arm includes a slave transparent LCD which is illuminated by LEDs to project an image of the caller ID data through a lens onto a surface. The projection caller ID system allows the caller ID data to be read from a distance from the caller ID unit and in a low light or dark environment as well as a normal ambient light environment.

Appl. No.:

13/463465

Inventors:

Stephen M. Pope - Lenexa KS, US

International Classification:

A01D 51/00

US Classification:

563281

Abstract:

A nut gatherer includes a hollow drum formed by a plurality of wires. Each of the wires has a bowed middle segment and two end portions. The end portions are preferably hooked. A pair of hubs secures the hooked ends of the wires to form the drum there between. A handle is rotatably mounted to the hubs and a handle extension is removably coupled with the handle. In use, the handle or handle extension is used to rotate the drum into contact with an object, such as a nut, where the object then forces the wires to separate and permit the object to move from outside the drum to inside said drum. Once contact between the object and the wires is terminated, the wires return to their original position thereby trapping the object within the drum.

International Classification:

A01D 51/00

Abstract:

A nut gatherer device includes a cage formed by a plurality of wires and a pair of hubs. Each hub includes first and second annular sets of spaced teeth, with portions of the wires secured in the radially-aligned spaces. In use, the wire cage is rolled on the ground into contact with a bulky object, such as a nut, so that the object forces the wires to separate and permit the nut to pass into the cage where it is retained until emptying.

US Classification:

414440, 29428

Abstract:

A nut gatherer device includes a cage formed by a plurality of wires. Each of the wires has a bowed middle segment and two straight end portions. Opposite end portions of the wires are secured within opposed hubs, each hub including first and second annular sets of spaced teeth, with the end portions of the wires secured in the radially-aligned spaces. A retainer affixed to the hub secures the wires between. A compressible washer between the wires and the retainer provides further securement and vibration dampening. An axle aperture in the hubs allows the cage to be rotatably attached to a handle. In use, the wire cage is rolled on the ground into contact with a bulky object, such as a nut, so that the object forces the wires to separate and permit the nut to pass into the cage where it is retained until emptying.
