Abstract: An equipment pad includes a base and a plurality of riser portions. The base includes a base surface that extends laterally outward and a base opening formed completely through the base surface. Each riser portion includes a top surface, a side wall, and an interior. The top surface is substantially level and continuous. The side wall tapers inward and extends upward from the base surface, elevating the top surface portion above the base surface. The interior, defined between the top surface and the side wall, is substantially hollow. The riser portions together define a single, continuous riser, at least one of the riser portions forming an angle with reference to an adjacent riser portion such that the riser includes at least one turn. The riser top surfaces together define a substantially level support surface for receiving the equipment unit, and the riser interiors align with the base opening so that the equipment pad is stackable.

Abstract: A buckle assembly comprising a buckle body having an engaging element, a base body having an interior surface defining a cavity comprising a first directional retainer portion and a receiving portion, the first directional retainer portion configured to engage a portion of the engaging element of the buckle body and retain the buckle body when the buckle body is forced in a first direction, the receiving portion configured to receive the engaging element of the buckle body and the receiving portion located in a second direction from the first directional retainer portion. In some embodiments, the interior surface further comprises a channel configured to constrain movement of the buckle body in two dimensions and allow the buckle body to move in a third dimension.

Abstract: A waterproof felted material (10) has a thermoplastic polyolefin sheet (20) to which a thermoplastic fibrous polyolefin matting (30) is bonded with a portion of the fibers of the matting (40) embedded in and fused to the thermoplastic polyolefin sheet. A solidifying coating (50) may be applied to the matting.

Abstract: A mount for use in mounting objects to a side of a pickup truck comprises a clamp adapted to be clamped to as downturned flange of the side, and L-shaped safety bar adapted to be sandwiched between the clamp and flange with a portion overlaying the top of the side, and a bolt adapted to be passed through aligned holes in the clamp and safety bar in fastening the clamp to the flange.
