Abstract: A camouflage device for archery bows includes mounting blocks adapted to being affixed to the bow in spaced relationship. The mounting blocks define first and second sets of sockets adapted to receive a proximal end portion of a tubular support arm so as to establish an extended condition (wherein the arms are oriented generally transverse to the long axis of the bow), and a collapsed condition (wherein the arms are oriented in general alignment with the bow's long axis). A camouflage curtain is supported by and extends between the upper and lower ones of the support arms so as to provide a blind for the archer, but yet allow the archer to track game targets, for example. An elastic cord joins the pair of arms so as to bias the proximal ends thereof into positive seated relationship with a respective socket.

Abstract: Decreased risk of accidental gun discharge is provided by tethering a hunter'gun to the hunter via a gun safety lanyard of this invention. The gun safety lanyard generally includes a flexible cord having a preselected length and thereby establishing an opposing pair of looped ends. A first one of the looped ends of the flexible cord is attached to the handle grip of a gun's shoulder stock by means of a clove hitch, while a second one of the looped cord ends is positioned so as to encircle, for example, the wrist of the hunter's hand that will physically hold the hande grip of the gun's shoulder stock. A slide clasp is provided so as to adjust the relative size of the looped end that encircles the hunter's wrist. The lanyard may be stowed by simply positioning the second loop end in encircling relationship to the rear of the shoulder stock, and then adjusting the slide clasp to maintain the lanyard taunt against the exterior surface of the shoulder stock.

Abstract: A kit which provides a removable top assembly for a vehicle (e.g., all-terrain vehicles) includes a pair of lateral upright supports adapted to being rigidly fixed to a rear portion of the vehicle, forward and rearward generally U-shaped upright support bows adapted to being removably coupled to the lateral supports, and a forwardly extending, generally horizontal support bow adapted to being removably coupled to an upper region of the forward upright support bow. A fabric top component is connected at its forward edge to the horizontal support bow and at its rearward edge to the rearward upright support bow, the forward support bow serving to support the fabric along a region between its forward and rearward edges. When the top assembly is erected, the forward and rearward upright support bows will be inwardly flexed relative to one another so as to exert a tension force upon the fabric top component (i.e.

Abstract: An anchor davit assembly preferably includes an anchor support bracket and a winch. The bracket is provided with a releasable locking system to positionally lock the anchor to the anchor support bracket, the locking system including a lever which is pivotally connected at one end to the anchor support bracket, and a tension spring (or other suitable biasing structure) which connects the anchor to the lever. The tension spring thus urges the anchor rearwardly against the anchor support bracket while also urging the lever to pivot in a direction towards its locked position. The winch of the invention includes a spool freely rotatable about an axle and a handle pivotally connected to one of the axle's ends. The axle is, in turn, mounted for rotation relative to a base support.

Abstract: An especially adapted sport bag having a carrying strap which is capable of supporting the bag in either one-, two- or three-point contact and thus permits the bag to be utilized as either a waist-, shouder-, or back-pack, respectively. The bag/strap configurations are readily converted by a user one to another so that it is "universally" adapted for various modes of transport.

Abstract: An x-ray film cassette holder especially adapted for use in radiography of the temporomandibular joint is disclosed. Slideable horizontal adjustment of the cassette holder is provided by a horizontal tray disposed at a vertically and rotatably adjustable position above a free-standing floor-engaging structure. Ear cannula location holes are provided in the cassette holder opposite the back or reverse side of an x-ray exposure aperture. A special beam limiting device is employed simultaneously to minimize patient x-ray exposure and to facilitate rapid accurate relative placement of the usual weight-balanced x-ray source apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention provides a portable tree table that includes two sub-assemblies: a tree belt and bracket assembly, and a table assembly. In use, the tree belt is first tightened about a tree to dispose the bracket at the desired height and adjusted. Then the table assembly is mounted to the bracket. Further adjustments are then made, including extending against the tree and securing stabilizing braces. Disassembly calls for a reversal of these procedures. It is easy to bring in the table and leave the bracket attached to the tree for instances where the table is to be put back up again shortly. Thus there is provided a steady, level work surface easily and securely mounted at a desired height, with no harm to the tree.
