Abstract: A mounting bracket for securing one or a pair of article holders to a land or sea craft to facilitate the carrying of articles on the craft; the mounting bracket comprising a non-circular body with opposing flat surfaces and threaded holes extending centrally through the body; a V-notch at one end of the body extending into one flat face and holes through the body at opposite sides of the V-notch and a threaded bore in the end of the body remote from the V-notch; the threaded bores being adapted to reserve a shank of an article holder; and a channel member to fit co-operably over the non-circular body and to hold a pair of spaced apart article holders, while being secured to the body member by a bolt threaded into the body member.

Abstract: A strap containment device includes a strap and a loop member. The strap includes an end and a length and is configured to roll upon itself such that the strap end is at a center of a roll of the strap. The loop member is coupled to the strap end and extends in a direction nonparallel to a direction along the strap length. The loop is exposed outside of the roll and is configured to extend around the roll to contain the roll.

Abstract: The inflatable kayak includes an inflatable peripheral structure defining at least one buoyancy chamber having elongated side sections that come together at a fore section and a aft section to form a passenger compartment. An inflatable floor cushion supports a floor of the passenger compartment. The floor cushion includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and at least one side gusset. The surface area of the top wall is less than the surface area of the bottom wall. A plurality of elongated, I-beam baffles extends between the top wall and the bottom wall. Each I-beam baffle has a midpoint, between the fore section and aft section, and an end, wherein the height of at least one I-beams baffle measured from the junction of the top wall to the junction of the bottom wall is greater at the midpoint of the baffle than at the end of the baffle.

Abstract: A holding base system comprising a platform with an exteriorly splined post projecting therefrom and mounting means for securing the platform to a surface; an article holder having a splined inner wall on a bottom thereof to fit on and cooperate with the splined post and a top thereof shaped and constructed to secure an article to be supported, with the orientation of the supported article being determined by the relative positioning of the splined socket to the splined post.

Abstract: A long gun carrying system for all terrain vehicles that incorporates a support structure that will mount on a rear deck or rack on an ATV and that will support a channel member to receive a soft gun case. The soft gun case is attached to the channel member and the soft gun case may be removed with a gun inside, from the channel member. Alternatively, the long gun is easily removed from the soft gun case, while leaving the gun case in position on the ATV.

Abstract: An adjustable extension lever to be attached to a control lever of a vehicle such as an all-terrain vehicle, snowmobile, motorcycle or personal watercraft to extend the lever surface available to be contacted during control of the vehicle and including a bendable lever extension that will bend under a bending force greater than the operating force required to operate the vehicle control lever to insure a comfortably located thumb and/or palm engagement surface on an extender connected to and pivot able with the control lever.

Abstract: A suspended article hold down system for suspending articles such as binoculars, cameras, and eyeglasses that are commonly attached to neck straps, by shoulder straps and then providing a hold down strap to extend across such an article suspended by the shoulder straps, the hold down strap being releasably connected to ends of underarm straps having opposite ends connected to the shoulder straps through a flat spreader at the back of a user of the system.

Abstract: An article holder comprising bifurcated arms extending upwardly from a base to receive and hold articles inserted downwardly into the holder within cushioning, resilient fingers extending inwardly from the bifurcated arms to engage the inserted article and wherein the fingers have incoming engagement surfaces connected, with an air space between, to exiting engagement surfaces.

Abstract: A carry bag for all-terrain vehicles having a top cover with paired zippers that open and close simultaneously during opening or closing of the top cover and that are protected by a sloped protection cover that releasably covers the top cover and the zippers.

Abstract: A seat cushion for use on all terrain vehicles and snowmobiles made of a single piece of molded foam having a skin covering a foam core, a front portion with a curved leading edge to fit against a gas tank filler spout, outer edges hinged to bend over a vehicle seat, straps connected to the outer edges to secure the cushion to a vehicle frame or housing and an air circulating and water drainage system formed on central areas of the cushion and with foam cushion areas formed between grooves of the air circulating and water drainage system to support the bones of the buttocks of a user seated on the cushion.

Abstract: An improved liner system for uninsulated waders is disclosed. Pant-like liners of various weights and insulating properties are configured for operative insertion within a lightweight uninsulated wader shell, particularly of the breathable type. The wearer can select that liner having the proper insulating properties for the use to which the waders will be put. A simple fastening system allows the liners to be rapidly installed and/or replaced in the waders. The liner fasteners are preferably placed adjacent the upper peripheral edge and the lower legging edges of the liner and mate with corresponding fasteners secured to the inside of the wader shell.

Abstract: Pressurized portable solar heated shower having a flexible shower bag with first and second closed chambers on opposite sides of a flexible membrane enclosed within a flexible outer bag. Water is introduced into the first chamber, and a foot operated pump is connected to the second chamber for pressurizing the second chamber with air to expel the water from the first chamber through a flexible hose and shower head. When not in use, the shower bag is emptied, and the entire device can be folded into a relatively small package which is easily carried by campers, backpackers, boaters, and the like.

Abstract: Inflatable kayak having a pneumatically inflatable peripheral tube with elongated side sections which come together fore and aft to form a passenger compartment, a flexible cover encasing the tube and forming a shell against which the tube can be inflated to form a relatively rigid structure. A sheet of tarpaulin material extends across the bottom of the passenger compartment and along the lower and outer sides of the tube, and an inflatable floor cushion rests on the tarpaulin material in the passenger compartment. A seat is provided toward the rear of the passenger compartment, and a splash skirt attached to the cover extends across the passenger compartment between the side sections of the tube in front of the seat.
