A portable and ice resurfacing device including an integrally constructed body having a first upper reservoir capable of storing a volume of water. A water dispensing bar extends in a generally horizontal and lengthwise fashion and is mounted within an open and lower-most location of the body proximate an ice-covered surface. A handle extends from the body and is capable of being grasped by a user to translate the body across the ice-covered surface in a drag-along fashion. The water dispensing bar is in fluid communication with the stored volume of water and is separated by a flow valve. The flow valve is actuated by a lever secured to the handle and a cable extending from the lever to the flow valve to dispense the volume of water at a specified flow rate upon the ice-covered surface. A planar shaped and flexible mat is secured to the body in a spaced apart and lengthwise extending fashion and drapes over the ice-covered surface to which the water is applied by the dispensing bar so as to evenly spread the water across the ice surface.

Portable ice resurfacing device

A self-centering posture seating device is adapted to induce proper posture in seated persons. Specifically, a back support member designed to provide resilient support selectively in the region of the lumbar vertebra of a seated person is conjoined with a posture seating device designed to provide resilient support primarily in the spaced-apart regions corresponding to the ischial tuberosities. The result is a 'self-centering' posture seating device which is noticeably more comfortable when properly used than it is when improperly used.
