Abstract: A gunwale mounted fishing rod holder comprising an inboard arm to support the butt end of a rod and an outboard arm to support the reel portion thereof. The improvement involves the addition of a latching structure which securely encloses the butt end of the rod while the baited line is in the water but which opens when the user grasps the rod and lifts it in the event of a strike. The continuous upward movement of the rod saves time and allows the user to set the hook more quickly than when it is first necessary to shift the rod in an outboard direction before the rod can be lifted out of the holder.

Abstract: A combination storage and mixing capsule capable of containing separately, certain materials, such as those used in dental restorative work, until such time as mixing and use of the composite is desired. The capsule includes two compartments and a valve effective to isolate the compartments when storing and to unite them when mixing. After mixing, a removable cap enclosing the end of one compartment is withdrawn to allow the prepared mixture to be removed.
