Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

Abstract: A solid state programmable timer attaches with two wires across the two contacts for the key circuit of the PC board controlling a security gate and two wires to the emergency personnel remote key switch. A timed cycle is activated by an emergency personnel key opening the security gate. When the timed cycle ends the timer causes the closing of the security gate allowing it to resume normal operation without the need for the emergency personnel key. The timer is pre-programmed with the amount of time normally required for an emergency operation.

Abstract: A basketball goal for supporting a depending goal net having a plurality of cord loop portions comprising a goal ring having an upper surface and a lower surface, with the goal ring having a plurality of spaced apart slots extending peripherally around the ring and between the surfaces so as to receive a respective one of the cord loops therein. Each slot including a pair of side walls angularly displaced relative to each other outwardly from the lower surface towards the upper surface so as to provide an enlarged open end. A plurality of locking members dimensioned to simultaneously extend into each one of the grooves, with each locking member comprising a body element having oppositely disposed top and bottom ends and spaced apart edges intermediate the ends, and the edges being inclined relative to each other.
