Abstract: A framework to horizontally support plants for exposing a greater surface area of the plant to required nutrients, such as sunlight. The framework includes a vertical structure having a lower end and an upper end, the lower end being inserted within the ground adjacent a plant, the upper end adapted to extend above the ground, and a horizontal structure that horizontally extends from the upper end of the vertical structure. The horizontal structure generally comprises a plurality of hollow-shaped supports horizontally spaced from each other and connected via connecting supports, all of which are generally comprised of a wire structure and all of which are substantially located within a common horizontal plane. The plant generally grows through the innermost hollow support and a plurality of fasteners that may extend from the horizontal structure retain an end portion of the plant in a horizontal orientation along the horizontal structure.

Abstract: A compression stroke indicator including an indication mechanism adapted to signal a user upon the application of pressure thereto. Further provided is an elongated elastomeric hose connected at a first end thereof to the indication mechanism. Also included is at least one hollow hose fittings having a first end connected to a second end of the elastomeric hose. Each hollow hose fitting further has threaded grooves formed in a second end thereof for allowing the screwable coupling of a second end thereof to a spark plug aperture of a combustion engine. Upon a pressure being applied to the hose by the engine, the indication mechanism signals a user.
