Abstract: A towel is formed by a sheet of absorbent material having two panels connected by a bridge. Each of the panels has a shoulder opposite a separation extending from the bridge. The bridge is positioned through the carrying handle to suspend a substantial majority of the panels below the carrying handle with the shoulder of each panel contacting an opposite side of the carrying handle. The shoulders and the suspended substantial majority of the panels located on opposite sides of the handle resist removal of the towel from either direction from within the handle. The separation is formed by slitting the golf towel into its middle region to define the oppositely facing retaining shoulders.

Abstract: A stowable support apparatus is disclosed and includes an elongate, horizontally oriented track with a slide mounted and reciprocally movable thereon. A support arm is pivotally coupled to the slide, and a mounting bracket that receives a display unit and includes a handle is pivotally coupled to the support arm. The apparatus further includes a lock mechanism that selectively secures the slide in a defined position on the track and includes a bias mechanism that urges the slide away from the lock mechanism. The apparatus, including a supported display unit, is selectively adjustable from a stowed position, in which the display unit is stored within a box-like housing on which the track is mounted, and a user-viewable position, in which the display unit is pivoted out of the housing and presented in an elevated viewing position.

Abstract: An apparatus for tilting and swiveling a display monitor using a remote controller is provided. A tilt member detachably connected to the bottom surface of the display monitor is supported on the top surface of a swivel member. A plurality of guide blocks and an arcuate rack gear member are provided on the bottom surface of the tilt member. The guide blocks are accommodated in grooves of the swivel member to guide tilt movement of the tilt member relative to the swivel member. A motor moving back and forth by a solenoid device is mounted on the swivel member. A swivel member is provided on the end of the motor shaft so as to be engaged with a stationary gear member fixed on a vertical shaft of a base member. A tilt gear member is driven by the motor only when the motor moves backwards by the solenoid device and rotates the rack gear member of the tilt member.

Abstract: A seat slide apparatus includes: a lock plate axially attached to a side surface of an upper rail of which a portion near a base portion is axially attached in a freely rotatable manner; a lock hole formed in a lower portion close to a free end of the lock plate; and a lock spring engaging the lock hole with a lock tooth of a lower rail by using an urging force. In the construction, the engagement of the lock hole with a lock tooth prevents a seat main body mounted to the upper rail from moving in a longitudinal direction and canceling the engagement makes the seat main body freely move in the longitudinal direction. A lock plate guiding long hole is formed in the upper rail. A lock spring locking means is provided on the lock plate at a portion corresponding to the lock plate guiding long hole in such a manner that the lock spring locking means is inserted into the lock plate guiding long hole and projects from the lock plate guiding long hole so as to lock the lock spring.

A second bracket member substantially parallel to the first bracket member has an inner surface and an outer surface. The second member inner surface includes a first planar portion and a second arcuate portion wherein the first planar portions of the first and second members are fixedly coupled by means of an at least one spring washer. The second arcuate portions of the respective members are in parallel arrangement defining a gap therebetween for receiving and securing the fixture, where the first arcuate portion is springably movable with respect to the second arcuate portion to accommodate fixtures of varying widths.

Abstract: A universal sign holder for mounting and supporting a display sign on a sign supporting base. The universal sign holder is configured for direct connection to a conventional sign supporting base which has a plurality of outwardly extending support legs. The universal sign holder includes a mast which has a lower section and an upper section. A support platform is attached to the mast for retaining a lower edge of the display sign. An alignment bracket is provided above the support platform and is also secured to the mast. The alignment bracket is used to prevent lateral movement and rotation of the display sign relative to the mast. A retaining device is used to secure the vertical frame member against the mast and within the alignment bracket such that the display sign is secured and maintained in proper display position.

Abstract: To prevent tilting or bending of a large mask frame holder and at the same time to prevent distortion when the mask holding frame is attached to a support base by ball plungers in three of the four corner areas of a mask holding frame that engage V groove bodies which face the ball plungers on the surface of the base, compression springs are provided in those three corners which pre-stress the mask holding frame toward the support base while a compression spring is provided between the remaining corner area of the mask holding frame and the base which acts in a direction pressing the mask holding frame away from the support base, thereby preventing the mask holding frame from bending or tilting. As an alternative, in each of the three pre-stressed corner areas of the mask holding frame, instead of a compression spring, an elastic attachment component in the form of a bracket with spring-like legs mounted to the supporting component can be provided.

Abstract: For a holding frame for holding plug connector modules and for installation in plug connector casings or for screwing onto wall surfaces, the plug connector modules being inserted in the holding frame and holding means on the plug connector modules interacting with recesses provided on opposite wall parts (side parts) of the holding frame, it is proposed that the holding frame be constructed from two halves connected to one another in an articulated manner and that the recesses for holding the plug connector modules be constructed, in the side parts of the holding frame, as openings which are closed all round. Under these circumstances, the holding frame is unfolded for the purpose of inserting the plug connector modules and is then closed, the plug connector modules then being held in a form-locking manner in the holding frame via the holding means.

Abstract: An adjustable device for hanging a wire-supported object on a wall device comprises a first bar for attachment at to the wall in a horizontal position, a second bar perpendicular to the first bar and having a hook or hooks for accepting a wire secured to the object to be hung, and a connector with channels that hold the bars for sliding movement relative to each other. The first bar is secured to the wall at its ends and then the connector can be moved horizontally along the first bar and the second bar can be moved vertically within the connector. This permits the object to be positioned at precisely the desired position even after the hanger device is secured to the wall, unlike conventional devices that must be removed from the wall for repositioning. A spring-loaded pin on the connector is accepted into openings in the bars to lock them into the position that places the object on the desired position.
