  • Publication number: 20120200065
    Abstract: The electric controlled trailer hitch is a new approach to connecting to a boat, trailer, etc. with only one person. This will enable one person to back up a vehicle to a boat, trailer, etc. and with a switch activate the moveable chain. The chain can sway from right to left and the electric motor works the chain backwards and forwards in order to align with the tongue of the boat, trailer, etc. The old method of needing another person to navigate or one person having to keep backing up or moving from right to left in order to get aligned is no longer necessary.

  • Patent number: 7676941
    Abstract: The chalk line attachment clamp is a new approach to snapping a chalk line on a flat surface such as plywood, sheetrock and other construction materials. It holds the chalk line at the specific desired location and allows one person to make an accurate straight line to cut the flat surface material at any angle, thereby saving man-hours at the same time improving the accuracy of the saw cut to allow a better fitting of the parts being cut and improving the quality of the assembled project. The old method of requiring one worker at each end of the chalk line is no longer necessary. It will not be required to damage the material by driving a nail into the material to hold a chalk line in place.
