Abstract: A seat support for a vehicle including a combination beam interconnected with the vehicle at one end and having a seat mounted on its opposite end. The combination beam includes longitudinally extending load support members of relatively high modulus of elasticity spaced from each other along at least a portion of their length to define a gap. An elastomeric shock absorbing material is positioned in the gap. The material being deformed responsive to relative movement of the structural members of the beam when the beam is bent under load such that the material absorbs shock and vibration.

Abstract: A container having a base containing portion and a movable cover portion is provided to contain a product for shipment or storage. The cover of the container is removed, and the base portion of the container, having two upstanding side walls, is suspended from a pegboard or slot board by providing two mounting adaptors to engage the side walls. Two mounting connectors, such as J-hooks, are used to interconnect the mounting adaptors to the pegboard or slot board, so as to mount the base portion of the container to display the product.

Abstract: A cassette cleaner for a video player/recorder having a cleaning ribbon which comes into frictional engagement with the drum and playing head of the player/recorder. The ribbon has a contact surface with an alternating pattern of raised portions and recessed portions. This lessens the drag created by the engagement of the ribbon with the drum and playing head.

Abstract: A cassette-like housing having a cleaning ribbon mounted therein and wound on a pair of spools. The housing is adapted to be positioned in a playing location of a conventional playing/recording unit to operatively engage the video head and other components of the unit to clean the same. There is a cleaning cartridge to clean the capstan and pinch roller of the unit, and this cartridge is adjustable to be moved between two separate locations. In one location, the ribbon is between the capstan and pinch roller, and in the other location, it bypasses the capstan and pinch roller. There is also a mirror device to activate the shut off mechanism.

Abstract: A cassette case adapted to be placed in the cassette recess of a video player/recorder. A cleaning ribbon is mounted in the case and is moved outwardly by tape-guides of the player/recorder to engage the video head and audio head of the player/recorder. To cause the cleaning ribbon to retract after the cleaning operation, there is provided a shut-off ribbon, operated by the drive spindle of the player/recorder, with the shut-off ribbon cooperating with the light/photocell already in the player/recorder. A tension ribbon is connected to the cleaning ribbon to move the cleaning ribbon out of engagement with the video playing/recording head and audio head to its retracted position.

Abstract: A cleaning device comprising a cassette housing and a cleaning ribbon mounted on spools within the housing. With the housing inserted into a video unit, the guide members of the unit move the cleaning ribbon outwardly into an engaged position to clean the operating components of the video unit.

Abstract: A cartridge having a housing removably mounted in a cleaning cassette. The housing has a first pivotal connecting member to pivotally engage a matching connecting means in the structure, and a second connecting member adapted to engage second connecting means in the structure to prevent rotation of the housing. There is a fixed pad mounting member in the housing and a second pad mounting head movably mounted on spring arm.

Abstract: A cassette housing having a reciprocating wiper arm which comprises a front end cleaning section, a rear portion pivotally mounted to the housing, and an intermediate spring portion. The spring portion comprises three relatively rigid link sections joined to one another by two relatively flexible elbow sections, with the link sections extending generally laterally in a general "Z" configuration.

Abstract: A "U" shaped mounting head in which is mounted a removeable retaining device adapted to retain a cleaning pad therein. The retaining device has sidewalls that fit against side surfaces of a recess of the mounting head, and an upper and a lower oppositely extending flange on opposite side walls to engage related upper and lower surfaces of the mounting head so as to be retained securely in the recess.

Abstract: A cassette-like housing containing a cleaning ribbon which is wound on a pair of spools. The housing is placed in the video player/recorder apparatus, and the apparatus is operated so that the cleaning ribbon, located the forward part of the cassette, is pulled outwardly from the cassette-like housing into cleaning engagement with the rotating head of the apparatus and also in engagement with other components of the apparatus. At completion of the cleaning cycle, the cleaning ribbon is retracted into the cassette-like housing.

Abstract: A plurality of platforms mounted for limited longitudinal movement on a base member. Each platform has pairs of mounting socket members to receive tips of ski poles therein, the mounting members being arranged in two transverse rows, with alternate pairs of mounting members being at an upper level, and intermediate pairs of mounting members being at a lower level. The mounting sockets are placed sufficiently close to one another so that the baskets at the tip ends of adjacent ski poles overlap one another. In spite of this overlap, any set of ski poles can be removed from the mounting device without interference from the overlapping baskets of adjacent ski poles, because of a staggered relationship of the upper and lower pairs of mounting members between adjacent rows.

Abstract: A ski pole grip or handle is provided that includes an elastic strap that can slide through a slot and wherein the strap will stay in place and be released at the proper time. The strap is pliable so that there will be sufficient and proper give and yet the strap can effectively move through its retaining slot when sufficient pressure is applied thereto.

Abstract: A shoe merchandizing and handling apparatus is provided that in one form consists of a rotatable rack that has a plurality of supports connected thereto whereby various types of boots, shoes and the like can be suitably supported thereon. In another form, a portion of the device can be attached to a wall to provide a support for a plurality of shoes, boots or the like.
