Publication number: 20190082797Abstract: An elastic cord terminating in a pair of hook devices, each hook device made from a continuous length of wire. The continuous length of wire at one end has a hook bend having a hook tip, and at the other end a cord attachment. The hook bend and the cord attachment are separated by a shank length of the continuous wire into which there is bent a closed finger loop. The finger loop has a hook proximate surface that is separated longitudinally from the hook tip and toward the cord attachment by a selectable clearance distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Inventors: Jeffrey D.

Publication number: 20170060169Abstract: An adjustable detent pair feature for a control knob assembly on a rotatable shaft. A first part of the detent pair has a component with a receptacle facing the underside of the control knob. The component is lockable in relation to a housing within which the shaft is engaged. A rotatable adjustment component is frictionally engaged with the control knob, and the rotatable adjustment component has as a second part of the detent pair a protruding feature facing and engagable with the receptacle. The rotatable adjustment component may thus be rotated against a frictional force to a position relative to the knob, such that the knob and the shaft to which it is attached may then be freely turned to any position, but will be temporarily inhibited when the second part of the detent pair catches on the first part of the detent pair.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventors: Paul F. Stroh, Jack M. Jacobson, Jeffrey D. Jacobson

Patent number: 6772542Abstract: A ski system for allowing a ski to slide in forward motion and grip in backward motion for a variety of people in a cost effective manner. The ski system includes a flat base member having an upper surface and a lower surface, a plurality of gripping members extending from the lower surface of the base member, and a securing structure attached to the upper surface of the base member for securing a shoe of a user. The gripping members each have a front portion having a downwardly angled structure. The gripping members each include a rear portion that extends upwardly from the lower end of the front portion towards the lower surface of the base member. The gripping members preferably have a U-shaped cross sectional shape. The front portion of the gripping members are for gliding upon a snow surface allowing forward movement and the rear portion is for engaging the snow surface for preventing rearward movement.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2002Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Inventor: Jeffrey D.
