Abstract: A pole coupling assembly for coupling an item to a pole includes a block and a ring. The ring is coupled to and extends from a front of the block. A channel extends from a top to a bottom of the block so that the channel is perpendicular to the ring. A void extends into a first side of the block to a distal limit of the channel. The void is transverse to the channel and is configured to insert a substantially vertical pole into the channel. Subsequent pivoting of the block relative to the pole frictionally couples the block to the pole by a force of gravity acting on the ring. The ring is configured to insert an item of the user to couple the item to the pole.

Abstract: A copolyester compositon which exhibits good bonding characteristics to polyvinyl chloride, good impact resistance, and improved resistance to crazing or cracking in the presence of solvents such as alcohol. The composition consists essentially of (a) 80 to 95 percent by weight of a generally rigid poly(ethylene cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate) in which from 2 to 20 molar parts of ethylene units are present per one molar part of cyclohexanedimethylene units, and (b) from 5 to 20 percent by weight of a flexible copolymer containing alternating covalently bonded blocks of poly(butylene terephthalate) and poly(1,4-butylene ether).
