Abstract: The present invention expedites cross polarization of a polarized signal from a transmitter such as a satellite. According to one method, an antenna is oriented to point to a first window to communicate with a first satellite. The antenna is peaked to find a first vector for maximum signal strength. The antenna is then oriented to point to a second window to communicate with a second satellite, and peaked to find a second vector for maximum signal strength. The first and second vectors are manipulated to obtain a third vector extending between the first and second satellites, and the appropriate skew angle for cross polarization of the antenna is derived from the third vector. Alternatively, the antenna may have two LNB's to permit peaking of the first and second satellites simultaneously. When both satellites are peaked, the antenna will automatically be disposed at the proper skew angle for cross polarization.

Abstract: A fishing lure comprising a head, a mechanism for attaching the head to a fishing line, a substantially planar hook having a shank projecting rearwardly from the head and a concave butt portion at the rearward end of the shank terminating in a barb, and a first substantially flat camming surface. The head includes a member constituting a weight. The camming surface forms an exterior surface on the member and lies in a first plane inclined with respect to the plane of the hook. The camming surface is engageable with the closed lips of a fish as the lure moves forwardly in the mouth of the fish to rotate the lure toward a set position wherein the plane of the hook is substantially perpendicular to the floor and roof of the mouth of the fish thereby to facilitate embedment of the hook in the floor or roof of the mouth.

Abstract: A tackle box holder of the present invention comprises an elongate support member, a bracket for pivotally connecting one end of the support member to the pedestal of a boat seat for swinging movement of the support member on a first generally horizontal axis, and a mounting structure at the other end of the support member for mounting a tackle box for pivotal movement of the box on a second generally horizontal axis extending in side-to-side direction with respect to the tackle box. The support member, when pivotally connected to the pedestal of a boat seat, pivots on the first generally horizontal axis between a lowered position in which a tackle box mounted on the support member is adapted to rest on a supporting surface, such as a boat deck, and a raised position in which the tackle box is adapted to rest on the lap of a person sitting in the boat seat.

Abstract: A cutter for cutting fishing line attached to a lure by means of knot, comprising a plate-like member having two generally parallel and substantially planar faces spaced apart a distance corresponding to the thickness of the member, and an outer peripheral edge. Extending inwardly in the member from the peripheral edge is a first slot having a width slightly greater than the cross sectional dimension of the fishing line to permit entry of the fishing line into the slot but less than the cross sectional dimension of the knot to prevent entry of the knot into the slot. A first blade associated with the plate-like member has a cutting edge positioned at the inner end of the first slot whereby fishing line may be entered into the slot and, with the knot bearing against one of the planar faces, pulled against the cutting edge of the first blade to cut the line.

Abstract: A fishing lure comprising a head, an eye for attaching the head to a fishing line, a substantially planar hook having a shank projecting rearwardly from the head, and a concave butt portion at the rearward end of the shank terminating in a barb, and guide arms on the head. The guide arms function to engage the mouth of a fish when the hook is inside the mouth to rotate the lure to a set position wherein the plane of the hook is substantially perpendicular to the floor and roof of the mouth of the fish, and to maintain the lure in the set position thereby to facilitate embedment of the hook in the floor or roof of the mouth.

Abstract: Apparatus for protecting the doors and other side members of an automotive vehicular body from damaging contact by foreign objects such as doors of adjacent vehicles. The present protective apparatus, which is particularly useful for protecting automobiles in parking lots or other locations where parked in close proximity, includes a number of elongate protective members disconnectably joined together by resilient elongatable means to form an array which extends alongside an automobile. Attachment members are provided at both ends of the array for attachment to locations such as the wheel openings in the fenders of an automobile. The resilient interconnection of the separate elongate members allows the members to be readily folded back alongside one another to provide a compact and easily-stowed article, when removed from the outside of an automobile. The members include a locking feature which engages a locked door of an automobile to prevent theft of the protective apparatus.
