Abstract: A portable seat for suspension between spaced supports is provided comprising a flexible seating member having rigid side edge members and rigid suspension members spaced outwardly from and generally parallel thereto, the suspension members and the rigid side edge members having securing means adjacent the ends thereof, each side edge member being adjustably secured to its associated suspension member by a length of rope slidably threaded through the securing means so that the spacing between the side edge members and the suspension members can be adjusted by varying the effective rope length, which effective length is maintained by preventing movement of the rope back through the securing means after the desired distance between side edge members and suspension means is achieved. For sway prevention each rope length may be threaded through the securing means to provide both parallel legs and diagonally crossed legs.

Abstract: A small clamp capable of gripping light or heavy containers and the like without damage to the container wall is provided, the clamp comprising a pair of opposing channel shaped elements which interact with one another to grip an object between the opposing flange edges of the lower portions of the elements. The upper end of one of the elements has an inturned projection which abuts the web of the other element adjacent its upper end and the actuating means for the clamp interconnects the elements to one another intermediate the upper end of the clamp and the gripping flanges, the effective length of the projection being such as to maintain the gripping edges of the flanges of the two clamping elements generally parallel to one another as they approach coplanarity.
