Abstract: A cellular and battery backup telecommunication system including an output jack connected to a conventional telephone line for hard wire communication of conventional telecommunication signals therebetween when the telephone line is in a proper operable state. Also included is an input jack connected to at least one telecommunication mechanism such an alarm system. A cellular transceiver is adapted to modulate conventional telecommunication signals into cellular signals upon the receipt thereof and further to the transmit the cellular signals via free space thereafter. Control circuitry is connected to the transceiver and further between the input jack and output jack. The control circuitry is adapted to communicate conventional telecommunication signals between the input jack and output jack when the telephone line is in an operable state and manually or automatically transmit conventional telecommunication signals from the input jack to the cellular upon the disconnection of the employed telephone line.

Abstract: Fish stringers, particularly a resilient longitudinally extending stringer arm. An upper hand-gripping end of the stringer arm may be adjustably secured to the fisherman's belt or waders. The lower, free end of the stringer arm spears hooked fish. A pivoted carrying arm is secured to the upper end of the stringer arm and extends outwardly so as to define an alternate hand-gripping portion and inwardly to encircle and releasably engage the free end of the stringer arm. The stringer arm is characterized by its ability to adjustably support a load of fish in the desired juxtaposition with the fisherman's thigh and upon release may be carried in a horizontal mode by a hand-gripping portion defined in the pivoted carrying arm.
