Abstract: A mailbox mounting device which returns to its original position after side impact being comprised substantially of a horizontal mounting member, a base plate, a cylindrical cap, a spacer mounting plate, and resilient means for retarding the said cylindrical cap from rotating out of place. The cylindrical cap is affixed to the horizontal mounting member by a pin which fits through a hole in the cylindrical cap and through a hole contained in the cylindrical pivot shaft portion of the horizontal mounting member. This locks these two items in place and permits the base plate and the spacer mounting plate which are attached together to rotate about the horizontal mounting member. The base plate and spacer mounting plate are prevented from rotating more than 90 degrees after side impact by the use of two pivot stopping pins which impact the cap pivot stopping pin as the base plate is rotated.

Abstract: A ladder device with integral housing, hinges, and axle for use in conjunction with independent support structures. The device utilizes minimal space within the support structure, transfers the preponderance of loads to the floor, is adjustable for varied dimensional relationships and is adaptable to a plurality of locations within or upon the support structure. The device can be extended and deployed, used to extend a users reach height, and then stowed away within the housing without disturbing the use of the support structure.

Abstract: A supporting member in a conventional seat device is supported only by torsion bar arm portions positioned at right and left sides of the device. Accordingly, when a large biased load acts on the device, a sufficient roll rigidity is not obtained and both arm portions at the right and left sides rotate simultaneously. Interference with the supporting panel, cushion frame or the like may also occur. Accordingly, a seat pad supporting member supported by a cushion frame provided on a floor is elastically supported on at least one of the front and rear portions thereof to a torsion frame by a torsion bar. The torsion bar is latched, at the torsion bar torque bar portion side, to the cushion frame side. The torsion arm portion side, moreover, is latched to the right and left sides. Finally, the torsion bar arm portion, on both sides, is connected to a connecting member.

Abstract: The multi-purpose columnar support of this invention is an aesthetically pleasing structural support primarily adapted for use in creating displays for merchandise in stores and exhibits. A tubular column extruded from heavy gauge metal or other structural material and cut to any desired length is the principal element of the columnar support. The diameter of the column is three inches in the illustrated embodiment, but may be of any desired diameter. The extruded column has a core and four holding areas that diverge outwardly from the core to the cylinder wall and support connectors selected from a group of connectors that are each configured to engage and support one or more items of conventional hardware, such as brackets, slotted strips, slatwalls, decorative panels and wire slat grid panels, that are used in the display of merchandise, The unused holding areas are closed by trim caps to provide the appearance of a substantially solid column with an unbroken surface except for the active holding areas.

Abstract: The invention shows a detachable ladder for use with a military and similar ehicles. The ladder has an adjustable mounting apparatus allowing the ladder to be attached to a wide variety of vehicle tailgates. The ladder also has hand holds to be used by personnel entering the vehicle when encumbered with combat gear.

Abstract: A display device with article support device thereon is provided. The article support device is elongatable to cope with different size of the article. The display device has a casing which defines an inside which is space within the casing and an outside which is space not within the casing. The display device comprises a rear casing having two passages. The support device comprises an elongatable frame and a retainer which passes through the passage and is connected to the rear casing by a first screw. The retainer has a first end on which a pressure exertion apparatus is provided. The pressure exertion apparatus is accessible from outside. A thread is provided at the pressure exertion apparatus and cooperates with a second screw. The retainer and the second screw have a hole for passage of the elongatable frame which is positioned and unable to move when the second screw is screwed to tighten the pressure exertion apparatus.

Abstract: A skyrise window panel installation assembly including an heavy duty cable structured to extend down a side of a skyrise and be securely anchored at a point above an installation location. The assembly further includes a winch assembly having a rigid and strong drive frame at which the cable is received and securely engaged for secure guided, driven interconnection, selectively up and down a length of the cable, thereby providing for the effective positioning of the winch assembly in a desired position relative to the window panel installation location. Secured to the drive frame is a primary operator chair wherein a primary operator sits in confronting relation to the side of the skyrise in order to effectively and precisely position the winch assembly in the desired position. Extending from the drive frame is a connection bracket, to which a suction assembly is secured. The suction assembly includes a mount frame and is disposed in a generally vertically disposed orientation along the side of the skyrise.

Abstract: A camera mount assembly for mounting a camera on vertically spaced rails of a platform secured to and adapted to be elevated by aerial lift equipment, said assembly comprising support means including generally horizontal cantilevered sections extending outwardly from or inwardly of a first rail of the platform for supporting a camera, and vertically extending sections extending downwardly adjacent a second, lower rail of the platform. The assembly includes a latch member for engaging the upper rail and a member for engaging the lower rail, so that weight loading on the assembly is transferred to both the upper and lower rails. The assembly can be quickly and easily mounted on or removed from the rails.

Abstract: An attachment mechanism for grasping an object such as an automobile tire. The attachment mechanism includes a number of clamp members pivotally connected to an inner plate. The clamp members fit around and grasp the object, and are adjustable to fit around objects of different sizes. The attachment member may be used, for example, as a locking mechanism for an automobile attachment such as a portable cover. The attachment mechanism locks onto the tires without any support from the ground. The frame for the automobile attachment can then be coupled to the attachment mechanisms, which provide the necessary support for the cover.

Abstract: The invention resides in an improvement in safety net system wherein the safety net is formed from an improved material which is resistant to weakening by ultraviolet radiation, hence does not need to be dyed or treated, and therefore is shrink and sag controlled. The invention further resides in a connection and method for making such connection between a safety net and a debris net for supporting same as a unit in an assembled condition and/or an improved connection between a border member of a safety net and its associated mesh.

Abstract: An exhaust pipe hanger assembly is provided in a vehicle having a rigid structural member. The exhaust pipe hanger assembly includes a continuously linearly extending rigid rod bracket. The rod bracket has a first portion extending through and securely captured within the rigid structural member and a second portion linearly extending from the first portion and extending outwardly from the structural member. The exhaust pipe is suspended from the second portion of the rigid rod bracket. The rigid rod bracket has sufficiently high stiffness and resonant vibrational frequencies such that transmission of exhaust pipe vibration into the vehicle is reduced.

Abstract: This invention disclosed an article stand. It includes a tripod having a first leg, a second leg, and a third leg. The article stand further includes two support levers each including an adjustment section and a support section, whereby the space between the support sections and the first and second legs can be changed for receiving different thickness of various kinds of guitars or articles. Also, this support levers can be folded for storage.

Abstract: An escape assembly has two rows of parallel slide frames positioned on an outer wall. A curved slip frame connects to a last slide frame of each row of parallel slide frames.
