Abstract: An adapter for connecting an LED light fixture to the threaded, screw-in socket of an Edison lamp holder. The adapter includes lever arms that toggle between a horizontal position and an inclined position. The inclined position of the lever arms poses a small outside diameter so the adapter can be inserted into the Edison socket without catching any of the socket threads. When fully seated inside the Edison socket, the lever arms are pushed into the horizontal position. A central core translating within the shell when pushed to the top position inside the shell locks the lever arms in the horizontal position. The lever arms when locked in the horizontal position define an outsider diameter larger than the internal diameter of the Edison socket to wedge the adapter therein.

Abstract: The automatic diving tending system (ADTS) includes a buoyant sealed torsional apparatus having a plate with a perimeter seal to which is affixed a cover with a perimeter flange forming a dry buoyant cavity. On the plate is mounted a bridge supporting a drive shaft, a locking mechanism, a constant torque spring motor, and an overdrive transmission linkage. A tether spool apparatus is mounted on the exterior bottom side of the plate. It includes a frame with a guide, a spool, and coaxial connecting structure that connects to the drive shaft. A line wound on the spool that is pulled off tightens the spring motor, enabling the full length of the line to be rewound back onto the spool and to be stopped at any time by a diver.

Abstract: The present invention is a metal cable locking mechanism for allowing the cable to pass through the locking mechanism in one direction but grips the metal cable when it is attempted to be removed from the locking mechanism in the opposite direction. The locking mechanism includes a housing having a through passageway for receiving the cable, a tapering internal cavity, wherein a wheel and spring are positioned within the internal cavity, the spring biasing the wheel toward a narrower end of the internal cavity. The wheel is wedged between the cable and an internal cavity ramp whenever a force is applied to the cable attempting to withdraw the cable. A releasing device can be manually inserted into a slot passage to force the wheel away from the narrower end of the internal cavity so that the locking mechanism will ungrasp the cable.
