Abstract: The present invention relates to a fur-pelt system adapted to maintain the highest in pelt quality in relation to industry standards. The pelt system comprises: a stretch board having a generally rectangular form and a planar surface through which a plurality of evenly spaced perforations are made to accept nails or the like. Several sized patterns are provided in order to best fit a pelt to the largest pelt size according to industry specifications with minimal amounts of waste fur. A user thereby estimates the end-size of a newly caught fur and proceeds to stretch said fur into the closest to perfect form desired by industry thereby increasing user's chances of a more valuable pelt.

Abstract: There is disclosed a two-part bracket for holding a pole. The two-part pole bracket has a first part, for holding the pole, and a second part, including a cylindrical hollow sleeve, for attaching to a support surface. The first part has an elongate body with a tubular upper section and a tubular lower section. The cylindrical hollow sleeve of the second part is sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of the tubular lower section of the first part. A disengageable rotational interlocking means located between the first part and the second part prevents a rotation therebetween when the first and the second parts are rotationally interlocked. The bracket may be used to hold a light pole, flag pole, umbrella pole, or the like at an angle relative to vertical.
