A method for recycling soft artificial fishing baits comprising: providing used soft artificial baits to be recycled; providing a mold having two separable sides cooperatively defining at least one cavity therein, each cavity having a shape corresponding to a desired fishing bait, fastening means, holding means, at least one vent hole; placing used soft artificial baits into the holding means; placing the mold with artificial baits in the holding means into a microwave oven; heating the mold with artificial baits in the holding means for a time sufficient to melt the baits and cause material to fill each cavity; allowing the mold to cool for a time sufficient to allow the material in each cavity to solidify; opening the mold and removing each molded bait; and cutting away any excess material that may be attached to the bait.

A slide housing having a plurality of rows of side wall ports directed into the side walls of the housing is arranged to receive a slide block within the housing, wherein the slide block includes through-extending bores arranged for alignment with the side wall bores, with a helical wind tube mounted to the side walls, with the wind tube having individual coils, and each coil including a coil exit port, and the coil exit ports are mounted to the side wall ports, with the slide arranged to effect intercommunication between a selected number of the individual coils to effect pitched change in use of the instrument. The slide block includes a slide conduit received within an instrument bell conduit in pneumatic communication with the instrument bell.

A four-way air directional valve assembly is disclosed in combination with apparatus employed for pneumatically generating waves in a wave pool having a plurality of wave generating chambers arranged side-by-side and extending across the width of a pool at one end thereof. Each of these wave chambers has a below the water passageway in communication with the pool and a sealed portion located above the normal water level of the pool. Each chamber has an inlet-outlet passageway above the water level with the passageway serving in one mode as an inlet for directing forced air into the wave chamber and in a second mode as an outlet for exhausting air therefrom. The air directional valve assembly provides communication between a source of forced air and with associated pair of inlet-outlet passageways communicating with adjacent wave chambers so that the valve assembly can direct air into both chambers simultaneously or direct air into one chamber while exhausting the other chamber or exhaust both chambers while blocking air from the source of forced air.

A valve for a surf pool having a frame of generally horizontal and vertical members, a leg pivotally attached to the higher horizontal member, a foot at the end of the leg for opening and closing the valve and an actuator mounted on the lower horizontal member for pivoting the leg. The foot may include oblique surfaces for reducing its drag and for enhancing the seal between the foot and a valve throat in response to hydrostatic pressure on the foot.

A slide structure for sleds for human occupancy is disclosed, and is designed to have human occupant sleds sliding down into a body of water. The slide structure has a support framework on which a plastic sheet material is provided and a water supply means supplies only a thin film of water to the upper surface of the plastic sheet material. This conserves power and water, yet the thin film provides a very low coefficient of friction, so that the sleds attain a high speed for a quiet, fast, smooth, and more exciting ride, yet with reduced wear on both the slide and sleds.
