Abstract: A device for allowing inspection of foreign matter in a stream of fluid flow in a conduit includes a filter disposed transversely in the fluid flow for filtering and collecting foreign matter from the fluid flow passing therethrough. A support frame supports the filter and allows connection to the conduit. A filter retainer is connected to the support frame for retaining the filter therebetween and has a first position disposed transversely in the fluid flow. A first pivotal member interconnects the filter retainer and the support frame for allowing pivotal movement of the filter retainer in a direction substantially perpendicular to the fluid flow from the first position to a second position outside the fluid flow to allow the filter to be removed and inspected.

Abstract: A portable seat pad of the seat and back element type said back element having an inflatable bladder removably mounted for adjustment vertically along the outer side thereof. The back element is sufficiently rigid along its peripheral edges for making it self-supporting but the body portion is sufficiently flexible so that the force of the bladder deforms the body to form a lumbar support in the body portion. The adjustment is preferably accomplished by a hooked and napped loop tape means mounted on the outer side of the back element and on the inner surface of the bladder. Further, a cover is provided to cover the outer surface of the back and assist in holding the bladder in place. Preferably hooked and napped loop means secures the cover to the back.

Abstract: A grabber having a pair of ice tong-like arcuate members is carried to the cean depths by a marine mammal to secure a hoisting line to an object on the bottom. A trigger mechanism is located on the grabber to assure precise positioning on and reliable engagement of the object.
