A door having a front face with a transparent portion and a decorative insert set behind. The decorative insert presents a thematic scene as desired by the user that may be easily changed. The door further enhances the display of the decorative insert by providing selectively controlled illumination and an accompanying audio presentation related to the insert's theme.

A system is disclosed having a camera, a processor, and a user interface. The camera transmits image data responsive to a scene within a field of view. In response to the image data, the processor indicates whether a condition has been satisfied. The user interface is operably connected to the processor and allows a user to select criteria for detection of objects, for indicating criteria selected, and for providing visual confirmation that an object has been detected.

A positive displacement rotary device and method of use are provided. The rotary device includes coupled chamber halves with a drive disc having at least one drive plate rotatably engaged with the drive disc. The drive disc is mounted on a drive shaft and positioned between the coupled chamber halves. The drive plates include at least two drive lobes with the drive plates rotating about an axis of rotation 90&#xb0; and tangent to the drive shaft axis of rotation while the drive disc sweeps the drive plates around the drive shaft. The chamber halves include camming chambers that are shaped to follow the path of the drive lobes on the drive plates as they are swept around the drive shaft. The rotary device can be used as a motor, a pump, or even an internal combustion engine.

The automatic shutoff overflow controller comprises a circuit which engages between a source of power and a water processing device, the controller, sensing an undesirably high water level in a liquid containment into which water drains from the device, shutting off the device and producing an audible warning that such condition exists.

A tree stand and/or climbing device of multiple designs preferably using industrial machinery style belts to provide maximum strength and gripping power. The belts are preferably made of tough rubber compounds and inlaid with various high strength fibers and other materials. The belts preferably have a uniform teeth pattern, which provide flexibility and allow the belt to conform to uneven surfaces on a tree. The teeth and flexible nature of the industrial belts provide a mechanism for securing the belts and adjusting the length for a wide-range of tree diameters. Dual or multiple belt or fastening device designs allow individuals to climb past limbs or other obstacles and maneuver around forks in trees. The invention also relates to climbing steps to serve as hand grips and/or foot rests during climbing. The invention also concerns a slip-lock locking device.

A break down triple-barrel shotgun includes three barrels, having two bottom barrels and one top barrel positioned on top of the two bottom barrels. In this respect, the triple-barrel shotgun has features of both side by side and over and under shotguns. The triple-barrel shotgun has simple break down mechanical features and provides increased shot opportunities with the reliability of a breakdown shotgun. As a result, the number of shells that are jammed is lowered or eliminated in comparison with conventional three shot shotguns. Also, the cleaning, maintenance, and care of a shotgun having a three shot capability is simplified in comparison with conventional three shot shotguns. The subject triple-barrel shotgun is especially useful for waterfowl hunting for which a maximum of three shot capability is mandated. The triple-barrel shotgun allows the use of three interchangeable choke tubes, that allow the shot patterns to be changed or adjusted with respect to pattern density.

A fishing lure apparatus includes a simulated turtle body which includes a simulated turtle bottom portion and a simulated turtle shell portion supported by the simulated turtle bottom portion. Simulated turtle legs are connected to the simulated turtle body. A simulated turtle tail is also connected to the simulated turtle body. A simulated turtle head is also connected to the simulated turtle body, and one or more fish hooks are connected to either the simulated turtle body, the simulated turtle legs, or the simulated turtle tail. One or more hook-reception eyes are connected to the simulated turtle body for receiving fish hooks. A spoon portion is connected to the simulated turtle body. Each of the simulated turtle legs includes a leg hook and a simulated turtle leg covering attached to the leg hook. The simulated turtle tail includes a tail hook, and a simulated turtle tail covering is attached to the tail hook.

A shelter may be readily assembled or disassembled from a plurality of identical shelter supports. Each shelter support is formed from an outer beam placed in a divergent relationship to an inner beam. The converging ends of each beam are capped by a first end member. The diverging ends of each beam are capped by a second end member. The second end member forms an acute angle with the horizontal when the first end member is placed on the ground. Thus, with the first shelter support placed as a column support the second end member is presented for engaging a second end member of a second shelter as a roof support. The truss thus formed from the two shelter supports is joined at an apex portion with other similar trusses in various arrangements conveniently to form shelters of different shapes which can be readily assembled and disassembled.

Shelter and shelter support members

A billing statement system comprising a billing statement having a plurality of sheets or pages of multiple lengths or which are otherwise of multiple sizes and/or shapes. The billing statement preferably comprises a plurality of sheets wherein at least one sheet is of different, generally larger, size than the other sheets, and in which the larger sheet has a first region with a consumer's mailing address on one side and a provider's mailing address on the reverse side, and a second region which contains detail or summary information on the charges due. The billing statement system includes a collator apparatus for collating billing statements having a plurality of sheets of multiple lengths, and a folder apparatus for folding collated billing statements having a plurality of sheets of multiple lengths.

Billing statement system

A folding apparatus for folding a plurality of sheets of multiple lengths such as mail statements, which includes a plurality of folder rollers, one or more folder gates, and a kicking plate associated with one of the folder gates. An input transport system provides statements to the folder rollers, and an exit transport system receives folded statements therefrom. A system controller monitors movement of statements through the folder rollers and folder gates of the apparatus by a plurality of sensors, and directs operation of the kicker gate at the appropriate time to push or eject the folded statements from the folder rollers. The action of the kicker plate prevents undesirable folding of the tips of shorter sheets in the statement while folding the longer sheet or sheets of the statement.

Folding apparatus

According to the present invention, there is provided a wire terminal and assembly. The wire terminal and assembly comprises a wire way which is connected to a pivot support plate. An assembly hinge plate is provided with a hinge which in turn is clipped onto the hinge with a clip. A DIN rail is attached to the assembly hinge plate and an upright support plate is connected to the wire way. A terminal block is removably attached to the DIN rail. Primary and secondary terminals are connected to the terminal block. It should be appreciated that the terminal block has a base member which is integrally connected to a wire guide and a terminal component housing. Finally, it should be appreciated that the wire guide and terminal component housing is provided with a space therebetween, the wire way provides a housing for wire.
