Abstract: This present invention discloses apparatus and a method for mounting a camera on a tripod platform for taking pictures and this mounting apparatus includes a cradle cup mounted on a tripod platform and an O ring mounted in a groove on the inside diameter of the cradle cup, and a pear shaped or oblate spheroid shaped ball attached to the bottom of a camera and the ball attached to the camera is set into the cradle cup and the ball sets on O ring in the groove on the inside diameter of the cradle cup. The inside diameter of the O ring is less than the diameter of the pear shaped ball attached to the camera.

Abstract: Mounting wire spokes in a wheel, such as on a bicycle, requires even tightening of each spoke, and to attain such even tightening, wire wheel spoke tightening clamp apparatus and method is disclosed to tightly hold the spoke adjacent to the spoke threaded section, by the spoke tightening clamp, while tightening the threaded nipple onto the spoke threaded threaded section to prevent twisting of the spoke, to thus attain a straight, non-wobbly wheel assembly.

Abstract: A vehicle fuel or gas tank is subject to either a build up of pressure or a negative pressure, and in view of this inlet and outlet vents are provided in the fuel cap to balance the pressure with the atmosphere, and this balance of fuel tank pressure is attained by covers of vents in the fuel cap and the covers having an umbrella or parabolic shape or the vents may be covered by reed valves. The disclosure of covers of vents as described in this invention then obviates the use of coiled metal springs to control vents in vehicle fuel caps.

Abstract: Double end and single end jig apparatus is disclosed having a channel and guide edges for marking window/door trim held in the channel, for subsequent miter cut of corners for mounting the trim around window/door opening, and a set back or margin between the window/door opening and the trim.
