Abstract: An alarm strap for luggage (10) for emitting an audible alarm when unauthorized entrance into baggage (34) is attempted. The alarm strap for luggage (10) includes an alarm housing (12), alarm circuitry (14), a lock switch (24), and a strap (26), made of substantially the same material of typical luggage straps, carrying an electrically conductive element (28). A ratcheting mechanism (30) is attached to the alarm housing (12). The strap (26) is wrapped around the baggage (34), passed through the ratcheting mechanism (30), and tightened down so that no slack is left, and the strap (26) is taut against the baggage (34). The lock switch (24) is turned to the on position to complete the alarm circuitry (14) circuit and arm the alarm. When someone tries to gain unauthorized access to the baggage (34) by cutting the strap (26), the severing of the electrically conductive element (28) energizes the alarm circuitry (14) and sets off an audible alarm.

Abstract: A theater drink/cup holder (10) which allows the user to have a cup holding device at the end of a theater chair's armrest (54) in theaters which do not already provide such a device for patrons. The theater drink/cup holder (10) comprises at least one cup holding piece (12), at least two angle-shaped securing arms (14), and at least one securing strap (16). The securing arms (14) are secured to the cup holding piece (12) such that the securing arms (14) are parallel to each other. The securing arms (14) are placed in communication with the sides of the armrest (54). The securing strap (16) is then secured from one securing arm (14) to the other over the top of the armrest (54).

Abstract: A reverse drive apparatus for a motorcycle is disclosed. The apparatus (10) includes a drive wheel (12) for releasably engaging a wheel (15) of the motorcycle (11). The drive wheel (12) is driven by an electric motor (16) which is powered by the motorcycle's battery. Support means (20) are provided for securing the electric motor (16) to a stationary portion, preferably the frame (22), of the motorcycle (11). The support means (20) include means for selectively moving the drive wheel (12) into and out of engagement with the driven wheel (15) of the motorcycle.

Abstract: A tool for assembling duct sections wherein a gear is rotatably attached to a housing and engages an apparatus with at least one rack. The tool has a pair of duct engaging clasps, at least one of which is integrally attached to the rack apparatus. The other duct engaging clasp may be attached to the housing or attached to a second rack which opposes the first. To assemble and join duct sections, one duct engaging clasp engages one section of duct and the other engages a second section of duct. The gear is then rotated such as to draw the duct engaging clasps together and thereby the duct sections for permanent fastening. After fastening, the gear is rotated in a direction so as to separate the duct engaging clasps. The duct engaging clasps are then disengaged.
