Abstract: Assembly comprising a handle element such as a pole having frictionally-secured to one end thereof an attachment such as a tool element adapted to be separated therefrom under the effects of a predetermined, variable axial pulling force. The invention comprises an adjustable tension fastener means having one part fixed to the handle element and another part fixed to the tool element, said one part being frictionally-engaged by said other part by an adjustable tension means which permits the degree of the frictional engagement to be adjusted to correspond to the amount of the pulling force at which it is desired that the pole and the attachment should separate.

Abstract: A releasable compression fastener, such as a clip for use on a garter belt, suspenders, or the like, The fastener has a pair of jaws comprising a base plate designed to be connected to a material, such as a suspender strap, and a flexible clamping plate. An actuating means is attached to the base plate, the latter being adapted to releasably flex the clamping plate against the base plate to close the jaws and clamp a layer of flexible fabric therebetween. The invention involves the use of cooperating, integrating jaws comprising male and female members of specific structure on the base plate and clamping plate to provide integrating locking means for the flexible material clamped therebetween.

Abstract: A compact retainer-container for an "umbrella" rig to which is attached or adapted to be attached a plurality of spaced fishing hooks or lures such as tube eels. The retainer-container comprises a narrow elongate container panel or envelope, such as of water-resistant flexible fabric material, having a narrow elongate container-retainer section, preferably having an elongate opening to receive an umbrella rig and an elongate flap or cover adapted to close said opening and said section. The retainer-container section comprises opposed retainer structure at each end thereof, each adapted to receive two adjacent flexible arms of an "umbrella" rig which are flexed together and to restrain said arms against flexing apart while the umbrella rig is contained within said section.
