Ice fishing tip up frame

A signaling fishing tip-up unit has an upright frame with a base adapted to rest on the ice surrounding a fishing opening. The base has a fishing line-passing opening and a reel, on which a fishing line is wound, is supported on the frame above the opening in the base with the line extending down through the opening in the base to support a bait or lure in the water below the ice. A retainer is on the frame, and an elongate ribbon spring is also mounted on the frame and normally biased to support a signal flag in an upright position. A keeper on the flag is adapted to be received by the retainer, when the ribbon spring is depressed from its upright position, to retain the spring in a ready state of depressed arcuate configuration. A generally horizontally movable trigger, having a ready position and a tripping position, has a line accommodating member on an inner end, through which a slacked laterally displaced portion of the line extends when the trigger is in ready position. The trigger has a trip in alignment with the keeper so that it will relatively displace the keeper and retainer and release the flag to spring upwardly when a fish takes the lure and pulls on the line to pull the trigger toward the opening in the base to tripping position.

Fish actuated ice fishing signaling device and method of using it

A sign stand for supporting signs in windy environments includes a base, a staff portion extended from the base and an upper portion for receiving and displaying a sign. The sign stand includes a mechanism permitting pivoting of the sign to spill wind load and includes a mechanism for applying a restoring force to restore the sign to its normal vertical position on removal of the wind load. The restoring mechanism may be incorporated in the base structure and can utilize a tension spring to provide the restoring force.

Yieldable sign stand

A sign standard in which flexible means for permitting resilient lateral displacement of the sign is mounted closely below the sign, and means for adjusting the height of the sign above the ground, or other surface or a base, is disclosed.

Sign standard for supporting and displaying a sign

The present invention is an article used in the application of liquid to the hair of an individual during a beauty treatment. The article includes at least one single ply of absorbent material shirred, or puckered, and coupled to an elastic strip so as to expand. A fastener is provided for securing the absorbent material snugly around the head of the individual. Further, a flexible material is coupled to the absorbent material and extends therefrom to enclose the hair of the individual. During application of the liquid to the hair, the absorbent material prevents excess liquid from dripping on facial regions and clothing. Upon completion of the application, the flexible material can be extended and fastened so as to completely enclose the hair. Thus, annoying fumes and additional liquid are prevented from escaping the enclosure.

Protective head shield

A portable sign holder including a generally upright sign support and a collapsible base to which the sign support is connected. The base includes a pair of elongate leg members pivotally mounted for swinging about horizontal axes between support positions extending outwardly to opposite sides of the sign support and collapsed positions extending upwardly adjacent opposite faces of the sign support. Releasable locking devices hold the legs in their support positions, extending at low angles from the horizontal whereby their outer ends contact the ground with their inner ends slightly elevated. The sign support is connected to the base by a resilient mounting which permits movement of the sign support relative to the base upon a force being applied thereto.
