Abstract: A dipstick handle of the invention includes a unitarily molded handle, such as a finger ring, having an integrally molded hollow shaft. The shaft has one or two pairs of opposed slots through its outside surface. A dipstick blade is received by one end of a hollow insert which has two pairs of tabs at its other end for snapping into the slots through the surface of the shaft. Pressure on the tabs engaged in the slots releases the tabs and enables the insert and dipstick blade to be withdrawn. The handle seals the tube into which the dipstick is fitted to avoid escape of noxious gases. The blade may be oriented in any of four directions with respect to a plane of the handle.

Abstract: An insert for a roller for supporting a boat on a boat trailer includes a plastic sleeve surrounding a stationary shaft for the roller. The sleeve includes a plurality of spaced-apart longitudinal ridges extending radially outward along its length. A hollow rubber roller is fitted over the sleeve and the ridges are embedded into an interior diameter of the rubber roller, so that air circulates freely between the sleeve, the ridges and the roller. The roller may include load bearing sleeve supports, between the shaft and the sleeve, at each end of the insert.

Abstract: A swim platform is described in which two S-shaped members spanned by a step are pivotally attached beneath a platform which is attached to the transom of a boat. The step hangs outboard of an outboard edge of the platform in use, or may be folded to rest on the platform when not being used.
