A lift device for loading game animals or other objects, onto the cargo rack of an ATV. The lift device includes a vertical support frame member adapted for attachment to the rear of an ATV. A horizontally extending base support member is pivotally attached at one end thereof to the bottom of the vertical support frame member; a loading platform is pivotally hinged to the opposite end of the horizontally extending base support member. A cable is attached to the base support member and a winch, mounted on the vertical support frame member, moves the cable to move the lift device from a loading position on the ground to a loaded position wherein the game animal is secured by the loading platform on the top of the ATV cargo rack.

Lift device

The present invention is directed to compounds which inhibit farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) and the farnesylation of the oncogene protein Ras. The invention is further directed to chemotherapeutic compositions containing the compounds of this invention and methods for inhibiting famesyl-protein transferase and the famesylation of the oncogene protein Ras.

Inhibitors of farnesyl-protein transferase

Unguinol is a well-known metabolite of the fungi Aspergillus unguis and Aspergillus nidulans. Unguinol has been found to be an active growth permittant and promotant in animals, in particular, monogastric animals such as chickens. In addition, the fermentation broth also produced the additional known unguinol derivatives of folipastatin and 2-chloro unguinol as well as the novel 4-methyl derivative. All of these compounds are active animal growth permittants. Compositions containing such unguinol derivatives for use as growth permittants and promotants are also disclosed.

Unguinol and analogs are animal growth permittants

New antibiotic eicosenoic acids and a method of producing it are described. The acids have been found to have antifungal properties.

This swing, through a backward and forward motion by the user, serves to provide amusement and excellent exercise for children and adults. Primarily, it consists of a vertical frame, including a handle bar and a foot rest bar for its operation. It also includes a pair of joined and hinged horizontal bars with a pair of seats, and it is supported by ropes. It further includes fasteners for its adjustment in length and height.

Push-pull swing

A push-pull swing having a frame suspended from an elevated vertical support by a first pair of parallel ropes and a second pair of ropes spaced parallel to and vertically outward from the first pair. The frame comprises a vertical member having a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal openings to which is pivotally connected a horizontal member having a plurality of openings spaced inwardly from the outward end and at least one outermost vertical opening disposed near the outward end to receive the second pair of ropes which are secured to the horizontal member. A seat rest is removably and adjustably fastened to the horizontal member to adapt the swing to various sized persons and selectively control the amount of bending by the user to operate said swing. A vertically spaced apart upper and lower cross member extends outwardly equally from each side of the vertical member to receive the first pair of ropes which are secured to the lower cross member. A pair of back rest members are adjustably mounted adjacent the horizontal member on the second pair of ropes for vertical movement thereon for selectively supporting the back of the user.
