Abstract: An apparatus for providing a mast suitable for use with closed circuit television equipment comprising a plurality of tubular sections detachably connected together to define a tubular structure with two ends wherein a lower end is fixed to a support and the structure tapers towards its upper end to provide a rigid structure and wherein the apparatus further comprises a support for supporting a camera or the like at an upper portion of the tubular structure. There also comprises a device for supporting a housing in a confined area of a mast and for manipulating the housing out of said confined area which apparatus comprises a flexible joint interconnecting an internal wall of the mast and housing, which flexible joint is adapted to move the housing from a stored position to an extended position.

Abstract: A bi-directional shock absorbing apparatus for attenuating undesirable dock movement, wherein two independent rods, one associated with a dock and the other with a fixed object, receive forces from the raising and lowering of the dock and transfer these forces to the respective ends of a coiled spring providing a balanced, bi-directional dampening affect.

Abstract: Storage and cleaning apparatus for dentures comprising a plastic bag, the plastic bag including two ends, a top end and a bottom, and two side edges, a first side edge and a second side edge, and the plastic bag also including a triage of reusable seals, the triage being located near the top end and including an upper seal, a middle seal, and a lower seal, each of the seals including a male portion and a female portion, each of the seals extending parallel to each other and located approximately 1 centimeter to ½ inch from each other. In addition, the apparatus includes a cleaning agent assembly, the assembly being located on the inside of the plastic bag. The apparatus also includes a release valve incorporated into a side edge of the plastic bag, and includes pleating located on the lower half of each side edge of the plastic bag.

Abstract: A trenching machine having independently driven wheels. Trenching machine comprises digging chain that moves between a raised position and a lowered position, a housing that is carried by a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear casters, a motor that independently drives front wheels to propel housing, and a guide wheel that aligns trenching machine with trench upon a second pass. Trenching machine also has a front plow and a rear plow that collect and deposit the dirt surrounding the trench into the trench. A method of gardening/landscaping wherein a trench is dug by a first pass, soil amendments are added to the trench, and then on the second pass, the excavated dirt is plowed back into the trench and then mixed with the amendments. A method of gardening/landscaping wherein vegetation cover between trenched rows is maintained thus utilizing only the ground area that is needed for planting.

Abstract: A device for retrieving an object that is submerged in a fluid. A first member, preferably formed in the shape of a cylinder, has an open top end and a bottom wall. The bottom wall has a hole therethrough that provides an inlet that allows the object to be retrieved to come within the device. A second member, also preferably formed in the shape of a cylinder, has an open top and a passageway therethrough that is in fluid communication with the hole in the bottom wall of the first member. The passageway has a first portion positioned above the hole and a second portion that extends to the top of second member. First portion is preferably perpendicular to second portion so that the object to be retrieved is trapped within first portion. In use the open top end of second member is covered. Next, the device is submerged in the fluid so that the hole is aligned over the object to be retrieved. In order to trap object in the first portion of passageway, simply uncover the top end of second member.

Abstract: A bandage dispensing device having a handle portion and a head portion. The handle portion comprises a plurality of finger indentions formed on the exterior front portion of the handle to facilitate the gripping of the device. The head portion, attached at the upper portion of the handle, comprises a clip formed on the rear exterior of the head to removably attach the device to a portion of a person's clothing. To incrementally advance a bandage assembly, the interior of the head portion generally comprises a rotatable spool of a bandage assembly strip, a drive belt, and a means for advancing said drive belt incrementally. The strip of bandage assembly comprises spaced apart bandages carried by a nonadhering carrying strip having preferably one throughhole formed between each bandage, wherein pins perpendicularly extending from the drive belt engage within a plurality of the throughholes.

Abstract: An electrical outlet box includes channels in a female member for receiving in spaced apart relationship three conductors of an uncut electrical cable. One or more sets of three receivers mounted in a male member for electrically engaging each conductor interconnects the conductors of the cable and defines an electrical socket of a socket assembly of the electrical outlet box. A cover is attachable to the male member for covering the space between the socket assembly and the surrounding wall board aperture. Fittings are included and formed as part of the electrical outlet box to permit back to back attachment of a pair of electrical outlet boxes and for side by side mounting in a ganged manner of two or more electrical outlet boxes. Routing of the cable in slots in the studs of a wall is described along with a retainer for retaining the cable in the slots.

Abstract: A suspended shelving apparatus wherein a plurality of shelves can easily be horizontally repositioned, added and/or removed. More specifically, in a preferred embodiment, the structure comprises a plurality of shelves, hooks and chains. Each shelf has two truncated hooks, a distal hook and a proximal hook, secured on each end positioned a distance apart. A first right chain support is secured via a hook in a stud or fixed point and extends downward therefrom. A second right chain support is secured to the hook in stud or fixed point and extends downward therefrom. The proximal hook on the right end of the shelf is secured to first right chain support while the distal hook on the right end of the shelf is secured to second right chain support. The left side support is a mirror image of the right side support.
