Abstract: A holiday light strand organizer that is amenable to the winding and storage of holiday light strands, extension cords, and like articles, after such are first used, in the configuration of a drawer unit comprising a carrier portion having a frame structure about which the article is wound, and a storage case portion in which the carrier portion is inserted for storage. A frame with a wide cross section is provided, so that conducting strands are not excessively flexed or creased when wound for storage. A holder for the plug or socket portion of a holiday light strand or like article is a separate position from the strand, so that the ends of the strand do not become tangled and may be easily located for the testing of the strand. The carrier has special provision in the form of a clip to accept the plug or socket portion of the holiday light strand so that it does not become tangled, and can be found for testing of the light strand.

Abstract: The present invention is for a hovercraft load transport assembly which incorporates an air cushion assembly having a fan powered by an engine. The fan draws air into the device downwardly to fill the neoprene skirt of the device. This causes the device to essentially "float" above the ground on a cushion of air. The neoprene skirt is supported on a metal frame. In one embodiment, optional thrust tubes at the back of the device allow for directional movement. Thrust and throttle controls allow for variance in the lift, speed and movement of the device. There is also a load carrying and dumping receptacle which is hydraulically actuated.
