Abstract: A stake pocket utility system includes a first assembly detachably connected to a stake pocket, such as stake pockets formed in a wall of a bed of a pickup truck or the like. A second assembly is associated with an accessory and slidably mounted to the first assembly. The first and second assemblies are detachably connected to one another as spring-biased tabs are moved from retracted unlocked positions and into extended locked positions as the tabs align with corresponding locking apertures to detachably lock the first and second assemblies to one another.

Abstract: An adjustable fastener engaging tool includes a plurality of jaws slidably disposed in a retainer. An actuator engages a driver jaw resulting in the jaws either moving in a first direction to enlarge a fastener-receiving aperture cooperatively formed by the jaws, or the jaws moving in a second direction to reduce the fastener-receiving aperture to grip or release a fastener.

Abstract: A tree stand for removably supporting a tree includes a base having a water basin. A plurality of spaced apart jaws are biased upwardly and inwardly of an axis of the base to form an expandable clamp. An end of a trunk of the tree forcibly expands the jaws against their bias as the trunk is inserted into the water basin. The jaws of the clamp engage an outer surface of the trunk as they are biased towards their closed position to hold the tree vertically upright and stable.

Abstract: A damping device that includes an arm having a longitudinally extending slot and a cylinder cut-out defined therein, and a damping assembly secured in the cylinder cut-out. The damping assembly includes a cylinder housing with a chamber having a piston and fluid disposed therein. The piston includes a rod with a head on a distal end thereof that extends outside the cylinder housing and into the slot. The damping assembly includes a biasing member extending between the cylinder housing and the head.

Abstract: A device for use in a door assembly that is positioned in a cabinet and defines a pivot axis. The device includes a base member adapted to be fixedly secured to the cabinet, an intermediate member slidingly engaged with the base member, and a cover connected to the intermediate member and having a hinge pin socket therein. The intermediate member includes a transversely extending adjustment screw associated therewith that defines a first axis. Rotation of the adjustment screw causes the intermediate member and cover to move in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first axis.
