  • Patent number: 4854349
    Abstract: A sewage draining device having a drain coupling, an independently suspended tubular housing, a flexible, extendable drain hose and a dual closure cap. In storage, the hose is fully retracted within the housing with the dual closure cap closing both the hose and the housing. For drainage, the dual closure cap is disengaged from the housing and the cap/hose combination may then be extended from the housing to a sewage receiving tank. The dual closure cap is then removed from the hose for drainage. The drain coupling and the housing, while connected to each other to complete the closure of the hose in storage, are independently suspended from the vehicle, whereby the device will withstand transportation without incurring damage or causing damage to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4685413
    Abstract: A tandem towing device for towing a pair of water skiers with one boat has a hook for attachment to a boat, a plate rotatably mounted on the shaft of the attachment hook, and a pair of diametrically opposed holes in the plate for attachment to two towlines. The holes receive the towlines through corresponding channels disposed about the perimeter of the plate. The towlines are retained in the holes in the circular plate by sleeves which slide about the towlines and into the holes. When the towlines are put in tension by normal use, the plate rotates to eliminate any tangling of the lines which may exist.
