  • Patent number: 10501153
    Abstract: A safety enclosure for a boat anchor prevents injury to persons moving about in the vicinity of the anchor when the boat is docked. The enclosure has an openable top, a bottom which is flexible along a longitudinal axis, and sides which open at each end of the opening of the top. An aft end of the enclosure defines an opening for receiving the shaft of an anchor on a boat. The enclosure is formed of a sheet of a durable, pliable material and a padding layer sufficiently strong and thick to withstand repeated flexing and continual contact with heavy, sharp metal of an anchor and to prevent serious harm to a person who movingly contacts the enclosed anchor. Such construction permits opening of the enclosure in a clamshell manner for secure, but quick, facile placement of the enclosure around a boat anchor or removal there from.

  • Patent number: 5271636
    Abstract: A travel restricting device for use with a wheelchair of the type having a frame, a seat attached to the frame and wheels mounted for rotation on opposite sides of the frame. The device includes arms having longitudinally opposing outer ends, and hooks at the outer ends of the arms for engaging the wheels. The arms can be extended to move the hooks away from each other or retracted to move the hooks toward each other. A spring biasing the arms toward a retracted position secures the hooks in the wheels such that the device is supported by the wheels for movement with the wheels. The device as secured to the wheels engages the frame upon rotation of the wheels in a first direction for restricting travel of the wheelchair in the first direction and engages the surface supporting the wheelchair upon rotation of the wheels in a second direction for restricting travel of the wheelchair in a second direction.
