Abstract: An on-site aggregate measure having a hopper with at least one fill level indicia representative of a predetermined measure of aggregate and including at least one opening for the introduction and emptying of aggregate together with means for emptying a fill of aggregate in fractional parts.
Abstract: A decoy set comprising an anchor, main line including at least one decoy, and a highly elastic band connected in series between the anchor and main line.
Abstract: A combined ratchet and torsion wrench which in the preferred embodiment includes a drop-in drive mechanism which is a separate, integral subassembly which can be dropped into a housing in the wrench head and a push-pull operable torsion shaft positioning mechanism slidable between shaft positions of engagement with and disengagement from the drive mechanism.
Abstract: An arrow holder including a bifurcated end cooperating with a bow side or arrow rest to continuously hold an arrow in emplacement under virtually every condition including while a bow and strung arrow are being carried about in a non-shooting position, while an arrow is being drawn to a fully-drawn position, and while an arrow is being held in a fully-drawn position. Upon release of an arrow, forward movement of the arrow operates to break the cooperation between the bifurcated end and bow side or arrow rest and release an arrow for free flight.
Abstract: A boat loader including a boom and an elongate traverse arm pivotally connected to the boom. A dolly bar carried on and for movement along the length of the traverse arm includes means for attachment to a boat. According to a preferred embodiment, a U-shaped boom is pivotally connected by the legs of the U to the rear bumper of a vehicle such as a camper or trailer. The length of the legs is slightly greater than the distance from the bumper to the top of the vehicle. The traverse arm is pivotally connected to the boom base midway between the legs and a spring is connected between the boom and traverse arm to normally maintain the traverse arm as a somewhat parallel extension of the traverse arm but which yields to permit pivoting of the traverse arm.
Abstract: A storage compartment having a geometry permitting acceptance of the compartment within a canoe, having an opening for introduction and removal of articles into and from the compartment, having a door, moveable relative to said opening between closed and open positions, having door fastner means for securing said door in a closed position to close said compartment; and having means for attaching said compartment to a canoe.
Abstract: A latch including a handle operative only in response to a grasp-like pull. In a preferred embodiment, the handle comprises a rod bent into a general C-shape to provide a pair of ends. The handle is pivotally mounted. Operation of the handle pivots a first handle end in an arc to move a latch bolt approximately parallel to the chord of said first handle arc to move the latch bolt from an engagement to a disengagement position. The second end of the handle normally closely abuts the latch casing to preclude operation of the handle by a push.
