Abstract: Fish strike alarm and fishing rod holder (10) comprises sleeve (16) for receiving handle (101) of fishing rod (100), housing (20), electrical alarm circuit (60) mounted to housing (20) for sounding an audible alarm when closed, and trigger (40). Trigger (40), adapted to close alarm circuit (60) in response to tension in fishing line (104), is both pivotal between an open position and a closed position and reciprocally slidable between a temporary-alarm setting and a continuous-alarm setting. In the temporary-alarm setting, tension in line (104) causes trigger (40) to move to the closed position, line (104) is released, and trigger (40) returns to the open position. In the continuous-alarm setting, tension in line (104) causes trigger (40) to move to the closed position, the line is released, and trigger (40) remains in the closed position. Support stake (12) supports alarm (10) such that rod (100) is supported in an operable position.

Abstract: A dental film processor for film chips comprises a series of developing, fixing and washing tanks having longitudinally extending moving endless belts disposed above the sides thereof. A towbar provided with side arms has a holder for film chips pivotally coupled to the lower end thereof. The side arms of the towbar are placed on the moving belts with the film holder suspended in the solution of the developing tank and the belts pull the towbar which, in turn, drags the film holder successively through the solution in each tank and over the end wall thereof into the solution of the following tank in the series.
