Abstract: A method and an anchor for supporting items on a substrate such as drywall. The anchor comprises a structure configured to carry the anchoring element in a minimal cross section configuration through an insertion hole and to effect a first expansion. The anchor further comprises an adjustable cap member configured to be moved to fixedly position the anchoring element to the non-accessible side of the substrate. The anchoring element comprises a base channel member, a top channel member, and a connector-pivoting element configured to pivotally connect the top channel member to the base channel member. The top channel member is configured to be nested with the base channel member in the minimal cross section configuration and to be pivotally rotatable via the connector pivoting element in the plane parallel to the non-accessible side of the wall, with the pivotal rotation of the top channel member providing the second expansion.

Abstract: A reusable low cost drill bit element for operative, removable attachment to a turning implement for drilling anchor installation holes, particularly of at least ½? diameter, in drywall. The drill bit is comprised of a section to be engaged with the turning implement and to be turned therewith, a drilling section with angled step sections in common planes perpendicular to the drill bit axis to perpendicularly bore into the drywall and form a perpendicular through aperture of a desired diameter, and an element to prevent the drill bit from falling behind the wall so that it can be reused to bore additional holes for other anchor.

Abstract: A high strength failure-resistant hollow wall anchor having a self drilling threaded installation structure adapted to be broken, after positioning, by an inserted screw, into expandable anchoring elements. The anchoring elements engage internally formed cams and the distal surface of the wall into which the anchor is deployed and are comprised of a plastic sufficiently rigid to effect a threaded insertion and to be broken apart, but which plastic is also sufficiently flexible to be able to form the expansion anchor member on the distal surface of a wall. The anchor includes anti-rotation elements to retard overtightening and anchor removal prior to screw removal.

Abstract: An improved fixed positionable toggle bolt device for fastening objects to a substrate comprising a metal anchor member having a nut portion and a selectively frangible positioning and holding assembly engaged with the metal member. The assembly comprises two elongated control legs, with the first ends of the control legs being pivotally attached to the metal member. The second ends of the control legs are movably attached to each other by an elongated undercut element interference, with movement of one leg relative to the other, effected by finger tip sliding, causing the metal anchor member to pivot from substantially in line with an insertion aperture in the substrate, to a position parallel to the substrate when the second ends of the control legs are aligned with each other. A positioning collar is engaged with both legs, holding them in place and is movable along the respective lengths of the legs.

Abstract: A solid wall plug-type anchor comprised of a molded extrudible plastic material comprises a central hinge section and at least two extension members longitudinally extending from the hinge section. The hinge section permits the extension members to be hingedly moved into engaging nested juxtaposition with each other with nesting of integrally formed depressions and elevations in the engaging surfaces of the extension members. The nested structure comprises a solid, solid-wall elongated anchor with the hinge section at one end of the anchor and with the juxtaposed free ends of the extension members comprising another end of the anchor. The extension members each further comprises a plurality of small, non-contiguous wells which remain open within the nested extension members but which wells are not externally exposed.

Abstract: A portable exercise device for the full and efficient exercise of any group of muscles provides a predetermined and calibrated resistive force established by virtue of friction forces.

Abstract: A novel method and apparatus for forming an aluminum container with an exposed metallic insert in the closed end thereof with the aluminum and the secondary metal being coextruded during forming of the container. A particularly synergetic combination is achieved by selecting a spherical insert member and providing concave or depressed region in the bottom of the extrusion die mold to partially receive the spherical element. The aluminum flows around the major diameter of the spherical insert during coextrusion but leaves a bottom portion of the insert exposed for external welding to another component.

Abstract: An illuminated gunsight adapted to be fixedly engageable with a firearm having existing sighting means. The illuminated gunsight comprises a base member which is fixedly anchored to the barrel of a firearm, or to the existing sighting means or to both the barrel and the existing sighting means. A second member, containing illumination means, such as a light emitting diode (LED), is moveably affixed to the base member. Movement of the LED containing member relative to the anchored base member, into and out of sighting alignment with the existing sighting means provides the electrical activation and deactivation of the LED.

Abstract: A battery terminal connector which electrically interconnects the terminals of two or more batteries and which terminal connector is tapped to provide terminal connection to an external device. The terminal connector also serves as a carrying handle for the batteries. The connector is comprised of two stiff metal members contained within an insulative handle housing offset from the surface of the battery or batteries to permit finger insertion. A portion of said metal members is exposed through said insulative handle housing for external electrical connection. The ends of the metal members are shaped for connection to the battery terminals and the metal members are sized to fit between such battery terminals.

Abstract: A pistol-shaped medicament implant applicator with a needle mounted on the forward end thereof, and a multichambered medicament cartridge adapted for insertion into the implant applicator wherein the applicator mechanism:transports a plunger through one of the medicament containing chambers in the cartridge into the implant needle and forces medicament out the needle front;moves the needle relative to an abutment on the front face of the applicator adapted to be held against the skin of the animal being implanted, the relative movement forcing withdrawal of the needle, resulting in deposition of the medicament in the needle track;retracts the plunger so as to clear needle and cartridge; and,shifts the cartridge the spacing between adjacent chambers therein and indexes the next medicament containing cartridge chamber to the needle bore and the path of the plunger.
