Abstract: Shoe spike apparatus permitting quick interchange or replacement of gripping elements, the apparatus including a shoe sole attachment plate with a downwardly depending stabilizer shaft; a snap ring socket affixed to the plate; a snap ring received within the socket; and a spike member provided with a recess for receiving the stabilizer shaft and a groove for receiving the snap ring to hold the spike member firmly and without lateral movement to the attachment plate and shaft. Circular construction of engaging surfaces of the spike member and the socket and snap ring allow rotational movement of the spike member relative to the socket to prevent rotational stress which might otherwise tear the sole attachment plate from the sole in which it is embedded. Rigid contact surfaces permit only uni-directional removal of the spike member from the socket for assuring the integrity of the snap lock mechanism.

The recess is partially covered with a molded panel leaving a restricted opening at the bottom of the recessed belt path with the opening sufficient to allow the vehicle seat belt to be threaded from the front of the seat. The padding covering the seat has a slit adjacent the restricted opening.

Abstract: A doorway exerciser comprising a scissor-type spring-biased clamp having opposed arms for securing the exerciser above the upper doorframe and a strap adjustable in length removably secured to the clamp and extending downwardly. The strap passes downwardly into a tube having a compression spring therein, through a slotted plate at the bottom of the spring, and returns upwardly and is secured to itself. The tube is preferably of plastic and has three equally spaced ears extending therefrom witch two parallel slots in each ear. A separate strap for each ear passes upwardly through a first slot and downwardly through the other slot in each of the ears. One end of the strap is configured so as to prevent movement through the first slot. The other end of the strap is secured to an infant seat.

Abstract: A conduit and cable sealer comprising a resilient cylindrical base terminating in opposed end faces with a circumferential flange extending transversely from one of the faces. A plurality of boreholes extend through the base between the two faces. Cable-accepting seals having stepped towers are insertable in and removable from the boreholes and provide a frictional fit with the internal walls of the boreholes. The base with cable-accepting seals inserted frictionally fits within an end of a conduit so as to seal that end of the conduit when not in use. When cables are used, the towers are cut to the proper size so as to frictionally fit about the cables.
