Abstract: A transportation and launching device for boats which can be handled by one person and which is carried with the boat during overland transportation, launching, and water operation of the boat. The device remains completely external to the boat during operation and storage and may be equipped for manual or automatic adjustment of the wheel axles to the longitudinal center of gravity of the boat to accommodate loading changes affecting the center of gravity. The device is typically used with the boat in an upright position but may be adjusted to move the boat in an inverted position as an aid in maintenance. The device is removable for compact storage and may be adjusted to fit on boats of various sizes.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the anti-pinch device includes a vertical support mounted normal to the saw blade of the chain saw. A pinch arm extends longitudinally above the saw blade and is mounted for translational movement along the length of the vertical support. The pinch arm is attached to a transversely movable mount by a pivot such that the pinch arm can pivotally move with respect to the vertical support and the mount and pinch arm can transversely move up and down the vertical support in a substantially free manner.
