  • Publication number: 20220340244
    Abstract: Visual safety device providing a caution wristband and alert flag designed to protect a water sport participant from surrounding boat traffic. The safety device includes a rolled up banner attached to a wristband to be worn by a water sport participant. A downed water sport participant, such as a water skier, wakesurfer, wake boarder, or tuber, manually deploys and waves the alert flag while in the water to notify their boat operator of their location and increasing visibility to oncoming boaters. Once the water sport participant is in a safe position or back on a boat, the alert flag is simply wrapped back into a caution wristband.

  • Publication number: 20110290967
    Abstract: System and apparatus for filtering drainage which includes a configurable and adjustable rigid frame, hanger support structures adapted to contact a surface of a drainage structure, and a sediment bag. The frame may be adjusted or configured by modifying the location of connecting fasteners and/or by altering the orientation of frame components. Additional embodiments provide for an overflow gap comprising a vertical distance between an above grade surface of a drainage structure and the rigid frame, wherein the overflow gap is capable of allowing runoff to bypass the sediment bag when the sediment bag is obstructed. A configurable lifting tool device adapted to lift inlet grates and inlet filter devices includes a lifting bar, a plurality of connectors, a plurality of lifting arms, and a plurality of lifting hooks adapted to contact a grate and/or an inlet filter device lifting bar.
