Abstract: An improved tool holder includes a closed loop comprised of a rod with spaced ends and a bridging element between the spaced ends. The loop typically is closed with the head of the tool retained by the loop and handle fitting through the loop. The handle of the tool may, however, be pivoted to release the bridging section from closing the loop thereby enabling the tool to be removed from the loop. Typically, the holder is mounted on the tool belt and provides a very inexpensive, yet highly reliable manner and construction for maintaining the tool in position ready for use, yet safely retained.

Abstract: A ski-carrier module and module attachment apparatus for attaching the ski-carrier module to the bars of a pre-existing modular vehicle roof rack system. The ski-carrier module comprises upward-facing ski pole receptors placed on a lower arm thereby simplifying insertion of ski poles into a ski rack, as well as a hinge assembly capable of being locked and unlocked into multiple raised positions enabling the insertion of skis and ski poles into the ski-carrier module unobstructed by the position of the upper arm of the ski-carrier module. The attachment apparatus for attaching the module to a roof rack bar comprising two wrap-around attachment anchors which are placed around the roof rack bar and then inserted into their corresponding anchor head aperture and anchor head slot. The aperture and slot are located on the underside of the lower arm of the module.

Abstract: A carrier bar for a motor-vehicle roof is provided at each of its ends with a supporting leg (6) having a head (5) slidably mounted within a guide rail (3) of the bar (1). The head (5) is axially movable along with a threaded stem (7) which is screwed in a threaded channel (4) of the bar (1) and can be rotated to cause a movement of the supporting leg (6) along the bar (1). The bar has a bolt (13) with an enlarged head (14) which engages a slot (15) of a hook member (12) having a hook (17) adapted to engage the side edge of a motor-vehicle roof.

Abstract: A bicycle map holder (14) in combination secondary retention device (14) for the stem (20) and handlebar (19) assembly. Such combination resulting in a virtually vibration and windproof, easily viewable, lightweight map holder (14); also providing user with secondary retention (14) means of stem (20) and handlebar (19) assembly in the event of stem (20) failure at binder bolt (17) area. Use of the map holder (14), mandates use of secondary retention feature, thus negating any rider reluctance to use safety equipment and significantly enhancing enjoyment and safety of the sport.
