Abstract: A sliding cargo carrier for use in motor vehicles has a slideable frame assembly and deck for supporting cargo. The deck is supported on an upper frame which is slideably mounted on a base frame attached to the vehicle. The deck is extendable and retractable within the vehicle to allow easy access to cargo stored thereon. The slideable frame assembly can be readily removed and reinstalled in the vehicle. Additional storage assemblies selectively positioned on the slideable frame assembly increase the storage potential of the sliding cargo carrier.

Abstract: An elastic fishing device for securing a fishing line directly to a support on or near the water's edge has an elongated elastic member adjustably mounted on a spool which has a winding portion. The elongated elastic member is a shock cord that can be stored on the spool when the device is not in use. Additionally, the device can be adjusted to fit various sized supports and to fish at selected depths.

Abstract: The computer monitor support device for a vehicle includes a console body with a monitor support body pivotally mounted on the console body. The monitor support body pivots between an upright, in-use position where a monitor supported thereon is visible and readily accessible to an operator and a downward, non-use position in which the monitor support body and attached monitor are relatively inaccessible. With the support device in the non-use position, the windshield and dashboard of the vehicle are more readily accessible. In addition, a vibration attenuator tightens the play between the monitor support body and the console body to reduce vibration and noise within the vehicle.

Abstract: An add-on section for use with a shopping cart has a convertible seat which provides seating for passengers, or alternately provides a support surface for holding an infant carrier. The convertible seat includes a pivoting panel that can be pivoted between a raised position in which the panel functions as the seat's back rest and a lowered position in which the panel serves as a holder for an infant carrier.

Abstract: A tool eye/setter comprising a sealed housing formed from a single piece. Sensor heads are mounted on the four faces of the upper portion of the housing. A shaft connects each sensor head with the inside of the housing. The shaft rests against a rod contact, which in turn rests against a knife contact. Pressure upon the sensor head causes inward motion on the shaft, which in turn pushes the rod contact away from the knife contact, breaking an electrical connection between the two. Rubber seals cover the shaft-and portions of the sensor head that extend into the housing to prevent gas and fluid communication between the inside and outside of the housing. The absence of gas and fluid communication helps to prevent contaminants from getting into the housing and allows the housing to optionally hold an inert gas to prevent corrosion to the electrical contacts.
