Abstract: A compact lift apparatus for use in confined spaces to raise and lower an object is described. The apparatus includes first and second drag chains with upper object mourning ends that are moveable along paths having adjacent vertical inner sections with lower ends and chain storage sections extending outwardly from the lower ends of the lower sections, the chain storage sections extending outwardly in opposite directions; spaced parallel plates on opposite sides of the chains, the plates including inner faces that together define drag chain raceways forming the paths; and drive means simultaneously conveying the drag chains along the paths between the lowered and raised positions to raise and lower the mounting ends, the drive means including first and second rotatable sprockets having teeth engaging the chain lengths and a drive means to rotate at least one of the sprockets.

Abstract: A compact mounting device for releasibly securing a GPS receiver or other electronic accessory to a handlebar of a motorcycle or other handlebar-steered vehicle is described. The device includes a clamp releasibly attachable to a motorcycle handlebar; a cylindrical mounting post rotatably attached to the upper surface of the clamp; a mounting yoke pivotally attached to the mounting post; and a mounting plate to support a GPS receiver or other accessory rotatably attached to the yoke. The face of the accessory can be oriented toward the vehicle rider by rotating the post, tilting the yoke and/or rotating the mounting plate, so that the device is useable with a wide variety of handlebar orientations.
