Abstract: A novel tandem garment allows a motorcycle rider and passenger to relax from wind turbulence and cold and which further provides protection from the possible harmful effects of carbon monoxide from the internal combustion engine, including carbon monoxide poisoning. In one aspect, the novel two-person tandem garment includes zippers and hook and loop fastener strips used to secure the garment in high winds and/or high vehicle velocity. The break-away hook and loop is an important safety feature in the event of an accident. It has been found that the zippers and hook and loop fastener strips used to secure the garment protect the driver and passenger from exposure to carbon monoxide.

Abstract: A rescue device for small boats includes a rescue basket of open lattice work having a bottom wall with a high side wall inboard and a raised edge outboard. Rollers mounted to the side wall engage guide rails extending downward along the hull of the boat. A winch and cable system raise the basket from a submerged position in which the victim can be easily maneuvered into the basket utilizing the buoyancy of the water, and a raised position in which upward travel of the rollers is limited by detents in the guide rails. Continued operation of the winch causes the basket to pivot around the rollers bringing side wall into a horizontal position generally level with the top edge of the boat. The victim is rolled onto the side wall where aid may be administered during transport to the land or the victim can be easily brought completely into the boat. In this pivoted position, the bottom wall of the basket is substantially vertical so that the victim can not roll overboard.
