  • Patent number: 5337891
    Abstract: A water and dirt protective, camcorder, shooting case comprises an enclosure. The enclosure comprises an outer structure that substantially encapsulates the camcorder and minimizes damage from adverse environmental elements and from harmful shock and impact from external objects, while allowing camcorder shooting with the enclosed camcorder. The enclosure includes interconnected folding end frames, tension members for allowing the enclosure to be adjustable from a collapsed, flexible, folded arrangement to an erect, tensioned and semi-rigid arrangement, which semi-rigid arrangement serves to minimize said damage. The enclosure also comprises a water and snow resistant, a dirt and dust protective, and a shock and impact protective material to effect minimizing said damage.

  • Patent number: 5307964
    Abstract: Disclosed is an aerosol extension for use with a pressurized container in domestic, industrial and general spray applications. The pressurized container includes a cylindrically-shaped body, a planar bottom and a convex top. The body includes a propellant and a product to be dispensed therefrom. The top has a circular opening for receiving an actuator and a dispensing valve. The actuator and dispensing valves defines a dispensing system for delivering the product as a spray, a mist, a stream or a powder. The actuator, in turn, defines an outlet orifice for delivering the product held within the pressurized container. The improvement comprises a clamping member, which is joined and releasably locked to the dispensing system. A flexible, elongated, tubular member is provided for accurately delivering products contained in the pressurized container from the dispensing system to intended locations otherwise difficult to reach with the products.

  • Patent number: 5261143
    Abstract: A device maintains an elongated, generally, T-shaped, spar track for a free running of mating slides and boltropes under loadings of a sail through cleaning and maintenance. A first internal surface region of the T-shaped track opening is comparatively wider than a second internal surface region of the track opening. The second internal surface region merges with a third external region of the track opening. The improvement comprises a compressible, flexible, pliable member for cleaning, lubricating and maintenance of the T-shaped track opening. The pliable member is prefolded and united to provide a T-shape corresponding to the shape of the track opening. The pliable member is provided with a T-shape to facilitate insertion of the pliable member into the track opening and to enable the pliable member to be in slidable engagement with the track opening.

  • Patent number: 5140718
    Abstract: The spar track cleaning and maintenance device comprises: a compressible, working surface for cleaning, lubricating and maintenance of a longitudinally extending, irregularly-shaped, spherical opening defined by a spar track; at least a first compressible, resiliently flexible, cordage member for inserting into the spar track opening and for slidably engaging an internal surface of the track opening; and a control means for adjustably shaping the working surface and the first cordage member upon being inserted within the spar track opening.The control means adjustably shapes the working surface and the first cordage member which is integrally formed with the working surface to allow the working surface and the first cordage member to compress and substantially conform to the irregular spherical shape of the internal track surface and be in slidable engagement therewith.
