  • Publication number: 20150345143
    Abstract: A cleat for use with a roof blocking unit has an integral leaf spring formed as a bend in a web intermediate its front and rear ends with a front side extending downward from the front end and a rear side extending downward from the rear end. In a coping unit, a diverter component defines a channel and is mounted over the cleat. The channel is disposed at an acute angle relative to the cleat web. In a coping assembly installation, a fluid impermeable membrane is disposed over the top of a roof blocking unit with the cleat mounted over the membrane and the diverter component mounted over the cleat. A pair of coping caps is disposed over the cleat and diverter in an offset arrangement with the channel beneath adjacent coping cap edges. The spring leaf biases the caps with a hook-like flange in engagement with a cleat flange.

  • Patent number: 9032944
    Abstract: Arrow rest arrangements according to certain embodiments include an elongate arm mounted to extend into and rotate in the plane of an arrow aligned with an archery bow and riser. The arm can rotate from an open position, for example where the arm is substantially perpendicular to the arrow shaft, to a closed position where the arm engages and may be substantially aligned with the arrow shaft. The arm preferably includes two opposing end portions to engage, constrain and align the arrow shaft in the closed position, yet which drop or rotate away from the shaft upon release of the arrow to allow the arrow to freely leave the bow.

  • Patent number: 8328667
    Abstract: Magnetic expandable broadhead arrowheads and methods for magnetically holding the blades of broadhead arrowheads in the retracted position are disclosed. Embodiments include deployable cutting blades that are magnetically held in a retracted position during launch and flight and deploy outwardly upon impact with a target. Other embodiments include magnets where the force holding the cutting blades in the retracted position is localized adjacent either the deployable ends or the pivoting ends of the cutting blades. Still other embodiments include magnets adjacent to substantially the entire length of elongated cutting blades while the blades are in the retracted position. Alternate embodiments include elongated cutting blades that extend in a rearward direction when retracted and cutting blades that extend in a forward direction when retracted.

  • Patent number: 4327853
    Abstract: A foldable pack belt for carrying at least one article. The pack belt is formed by folding longitudinally-extending edges of a planar member about an article or articles placed on an inner surface of a carrying portion of the planar member. A first set of complementary fastening devices are associated with the longitudinally-extending edges to releasably and adjustably hold the planar member in a rolled condition. Subsequently, transversely-extending edges of the planar member are folded towards each other and releasably and adjustably interconnected to each other by components of second complementary fastening devices to form the pack. The components of the first and second fastening devices are adjustable with respect to each other so that the size of the pack can be varied to accommodate variations in the size of the waist of a user and the size of articles to be carried.
