Abstract: Described herein is a support element that may be a cantilever arm and a support structure being formed from multiple support elements for example to form a platform. Methods of assembly and use are also described. In one aspect, a support element is described with an elongated shape, a distal end and a coupling end and a cantilever form, where the coupling end of the support element is configured to couple with a structural member, the support element further configured to rotate once coupled from an inclined or declined position to a substantially horizontal plane, the support element once rotated to a substantially horizontal plane, extending generally orthogonally away from the structural member to a termination point about the distal end of the support element.

Abstract: Line dispensing devices include a coupling transmission, a retraction mechanism, and a rotor that rotates around a shaft. Rotation of the rotor causes a portion of at least one pivotable member to move into and out of a magnetic field.

Abstract: This disclosure describes embodiments of novel line dispensing devices and methods for dispensing and retracting a line of a line dispensing device.

Abstract: An eddy-current mechanism including a rotor rotatable about a rotor axis at least one electrically conductive material coupled to the rotor for rotation therewith, at least one magnet configured to apply a magnetic field extending at least partially orthogonal to the plane of rotation of the conductive member, and characterised in that upon rotation of the rotor, the conductive member is configured to move at least partially radially from the rotor axis into the applied magnetic field.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roof box 1 for mounting to a vehicle via roof racks 100. The roof box 1 includes a base section 3 mountable to a vehicle roof or roof rack 100 and a top section 2 that is movable relative to the base section 3 to allow the roof box 1 to be opened and closed. The roof box 1 includes no external protruding seam 4 with the seam 4 flush with the exterior of the roof box 1. The roof box 1 also includes a curved seam 4, double skinned top 2 and double acting action hinge 12 design that all combine to provide improved aesthetics, lower weight, reduced aerodynamic drag, better fuel efficiency and equivalent strength, rigidity and loadings to the art.

Abstract: The application relates to an adjustment mechanism for altering the position of roof box clamps and/or the roof box position on a vehicle. Adjustment of the roof box position relative to a vehicle may be completed without unclamping the roof box from the vehicle roof rack or racks. The clamp or clamps may also be positioned easily relative to roof rack positions prior to fitting.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roof box 1 for mounting to a vehicle. The roof box 1 includes a securing mechanism 10 that enables the top section 2 of the box 1 to be secured to the base section 3 of the box 1 via a single locking point and which urges the top section 2 from the base section 3 when the roof box 1 securing mechanism 10 is opened allowing the user access to lift the top section 2 open.

Abstract: A roof box 1 for mounting to a vehicle is described. The roof box 1 includes a clamping mechanism that enables the roof box 1 to be secured to a vehicle via one or more externally accessed actuating handles 5. A crossbar interchangeable clamp shape is also described for linking an accessory item such as a roof box 1 to a roof rack cross bar.
