Abstract: Struts are provided for adapting a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a standard frame for a 150 mm width rear tire to a frame accommodating a 200 mm tire. Except for the struts Harley Davidson components such as fenders can be used to modify the motorcycle. Measurements of the struts are provided. Methods to install the struts are also provided.

Abstract: A potting training device for preventing a potty-training child's urine stream from passing through the opening formed between the toilet seat and the toilet bowl. The device is made of a flexible, water-resistant, preferably non-porous sheet material, having a folding seam separating a urine-deflecting surface and a plurality of attachment tabs. An adhesive material is applied to the surface of each attachment tab and attaches the attachment tabs to the underside of the toilet seat. The sheet material, in its unattached flat configuration, is manipulated into a curved configuration that matches the curvature of the toilet seat, and is attached thereto. The potty training device is also not visible to the observer unless the toilet seat is lifted up, in a vertical position or viewed from a position to the rear of the attachment point when the toilet seat is down.

The device is made of a flexible, water-resistant, preferably non-porous sheet material, having a folding seam separating a urine-deflecting surface and a plurality of attachment tabs. An adhesive material is layered on the surface of each attachment tab and attaches the attachment tabs to the underside of the toilet seat. The sheet material, in its unattached flat configuration, is manipulated into a curved configuration that matches the curvature of the toilet seat, and is attached thereto. The potty training device is also not visible to the observer unless the toilet seat is lifted up, in a vertical position or viewed from a position to the rear of the attachment point when the toilet seat is down.

Abstract: A permanent mooring method and arrangement for embedding a permanent mooring device in the sea bottom calls for the lowering of the permanent mooring device into the sea until the bottom end contacts the sea bottom, the transmission of fluid under high pressure via a hollow tubular body of the permanent mooring device to a nozzle portion thereof so as to create a fluidized area in the sea bottom around the permanent mooring device and to wash the permanent mooring device into and beneath the sea bottom, followed by transmission of a cementitious substance via the hollow tubular body to the nozzle portion so as to fill the fluidized area in the sea bottom with the cementitious substance. The permanent mooring device is vibrated during transmission of the high-pressure fluid, transmission of the cementitious substance, or consolidation of the cementitious substance, or during any combination thereof to assist in the embedding process.

Abstract: A permanent mooring for use with boats and the like is provided with folding flukes on a tubular body. The flukes are formed as portions of a cylinder and in their folded position completely envelope the mooring with a smooth cylindrical surface which decreases unwanted drag during installation. A connection is provided for attaching a high-pressure water pipe and the forward end of the mooring anchor is tapered so as to form a water jet nozzle. The mooring is directed to the bottom of the water and, upon pumping the water through the pipe and out of the nozzle, the mooring anchor is forced downwardly into the sand or mud by the washing action of the water, the weight of the mooring itself, as well as additional downward pressure on the water supply pipe by the installation personnel.
