Abstract: A mounting plate assembly for selectively securing a sacrificial anode to the exposed surface of a tank or boat hull. The mounting plate assembly provides for a pair of watertight space mounting studs to be extended through the attached surface and provide anode engagement thereon. The studs are welded to both the mounting plate and a fixation nut on the plate to which the anode is correspondingly registerably engaged.

Abstract: A steering centering device for vehicles to import straight line stability without excess induced resistance during use. The device includes a pair of spring urged roller bearing assemblies connected to the vehicle steering assembly for select movement along respective contoured cam travel surfaces. Resistance is imparted to the centering assembly as the roller bearings move from a rest (centered notch position) by steering input. A trim adjustment is provided to adjustably reposition the roller bearings rest position and a pressure damper is alternately positioned between the roller bearings to increase turning resistance.

Abstract: A boat trailer that has a retractable display cover and support structure to fully enclose a sport boat during transport and provide multiple display surfaces for commercial endorsement indicia thereon. The trailer incorporates enclosure trailer frame panels with removable undercovers and selectively retractable cover frame with stressed flexible material panels and a storage access enclosure on an integrated boat support and launching frame.

Abstract: A tube joining and loop formation device that aligns and pre-positions two ends of a synthetic resin tubular work piece for insertion onto a single internal joining plug by frictional interference thereon. The joining device clamps the tubes inwardly from its free ends in independent fixtures which are then simultaneously driven towards coupling temporarily held in a movable aligned fixture for internal engagement therewith.

Abstract: A breaching device for positioning explosives on a structure for rapid entry constructed of soft, plastic material formed into elongated inflatable chambers allowing the breaching device to be positioned by secondary attachment means to a target surface. A sleeve is formed on the chamber for insertion of an explosive material thereby reducing the need for supplemental construction materials for the device. The rigidity of the inflated device is achieved by inflation so as to hold its shape and be semi self-supporting and to increase the ease to which the device can be deployed. By utilizing a device which will hold its specific shape and precise positioning of explosives therewithin will insure that the explosive force of detonation will be applied directly to the structure and the desired shape, size and amount for breaching a structure for entry.

Abstract: A hand activated retainment, storage and deployment device for binding straps used to secure loads on cargo transportation vehicles such as tractor trailers. The device has a winding mechanism with a spooling reel for winding excess binding strap during use and for removable storage of the strap when not deployed.

Abstract: A clip configuration including a contoured case forming a support opening for a movable clasp element defining a universal clip. A winding mechanism within the casing includes a spring urged spool having a retractable cord which extends with an attachment ring positioned on its free end.

Abstract: A device to secure, cut and sequentially remove a manhole from a street environment. The manhole removing device is supported and rotatably driven hydraulically by a mobile operation equipment. A circular disk assembly has adjustable pavement cutters adjustably positioned from there within inter-related manhole centering and a locking alignment and engagement plate assembly define a one-step cutting and removal of an existing manhole from the street for replacement.

Abstract: A self-adhesive toe pad for open toe sandals and the like that have a thong strap that is engaged between the big toe and pointer toe. The toe pad is of a contoured flat base with a curvilinear upstanding strap engagement portion that is of a dimensional thickness that pads the toe contact areas for improved comfort during use.

Abstract: An integrated progressive brake light system for vehicles in which different sequences of brake lights are illuminated dependent on operator activation input. The brake light system uses a progressive multiple selective illumination in which additional central oriented brake lights are actuated as metered increase of operator input to indicate the relative degree of applied braking force as will be evident to the visual interpretation thereof.

Abstract: A collapsible hanger used for garments having a hanger hook with a pair of oppositely disposed support arms pivotally secured thereto. Deployment control cable straps extend from the respective arms for folding and use deployment of the hanger arms via a central slidably disposed lock and release knob on a central support shaft in the preferred form of the embodiment. An alternate form is also available which shows an automatic spring-urged deployment system in which the hanger arms are retracted under spring tension and then released via an access button into full horizontally disposed use position.

Abstract: A golf club having multiple interchangeable striking face plate inserts and a movable weight element positioned therewithin. A number of different angularly inclined striker face plates are keyed to a club head body allowing the club to function as a multiple club configuration. Adjustable weight inserts are provided which impart their kinetic energy during the club swing to increase striking power of the club with the target ball during use.

Abstract: An improvement for a dual handle fighting knife having interlocking handles when in open position and multiple spring blades stabilization in open and closed position. The handle blade spring engagement provides for a safe, straight-forward interlocking blade position and spacing of said cutting edge engagement with said handle when in closed position.
