  • Patent number: 10711962
    Abstract: A spiral wrap power and lighting system may include spiral cut flexible tubular sleeve, a plurality of photovoltaic cells, and a series of light emitting devices. The sleeve can have structure sufficient for being adapted to and maintained in a desired shape. The sleeve is also capable of being coiled around an object. The photovoltaic cells may be in a panel configuration and can be arranged in a generally helical configuration defining at least one revolution. The photovoltaic cells may also be arranged in a V-shaped configuration. The light emitting devices can comprise a plurality of axially and spirally spaced lighting sources affixed to a flexible strip, which is in turn affixed to the sleeve. The power and lighting system can have structure sufficient for being maintained in a desired flexible tubular shape on its own accord.

  • Patent number: 10317022
    Abstract: The present invention, a spiral wrap lighting system, may include a series of light-emitting diodes, commonly referred to within the lighting industry as an LED flexible strip, affixed upon or otherwise attached to a surface or surfaces of a spiraling tubular shape, such as would occur if a tube were to have a torsion cut, which may include materials known to the electrical industry as spiral wrap sleeve tubing, being configured overall into any combination of innumerable linear or curvilinear shapes being capable of spanning within, from, between, or wrapping around other objects for the purpose of providing illumination.

  • Publication number: 20160345684
    Abstract: An insert and a device are provided. The device can include a body portion and a slot defined through the body portion. The slot can be configured for receiving a strap that can secure the device in place relative to the strap. The insert can be designed to strengthen the device by being inserted into the device and receiving the strap. The insert can include a main body portion and a projecting body portion. The projecting body portion can include a slot similarly sized to the slot of the device so that when the insert is positioned within the device, the slot of the insert and the slot of the device generally align. The projecting body of the insert can include inward flanges to define part of an upper boundary of the slot and assist in securing the strap within the slot.

  • Publication number: 20150313200
    Abstract: A storage and carrying case for fishing equipment is provided. The case can include first and second shell halves, each having an interior compartment defined by a plurality of walls. The shell halves may be hingedly connected along longitudinal ends to allow one shell half to pivotally open and close with respect to the other shell half. The case can also include locking means on the front exterior walls of the case to secure the shell halves together. Inside the interior compartments of each shell have may be various storage compartments and storage regions. Fishing rod storage compartments may be placed along the longitudinal walls of each compartment. Reel storage regions permanently or temporarily secured to the interior walls of the interior compartments may be selectively positioned to allow storage of attached rods and reels. General storage compartments may also be placed between reel regions for storage of various fishing equipment.
